MIAMI, FL – Six months after beginning construction, the Little Trail Casino in Ochopee, FL, is set to open on Wednesday, February 14, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00am. The 8,500 sq. ft. venue is steps from the Miccosukee Service Plaza and features 150 slot machines as well as a bar offering a selection of beer and wine.
The Miccosukee Service Plaza is the only rest stop on the 80-mile stretch of I-75 that connects Naples to Miami, running through a section of the Miccosukee reservation on Alligator Alley. The property includes a fuel station, 12 Tesla charging stations, a convenience store, restrooms, Dunkin’ Donuts, Glades Café, and now, the Little Trail Casino.
“We are excited to celebrate this significant milestone alongside our tribal members and numerous key stakeholders who have played a crucial role in our journey,” said Talbert Cypress, Chairman of the Miccosukee Tribe. “This marks an exhilarating start to our next phase, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to this unique experience.”
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will feature presentations by the Miccosukee Tribal Business Council and casino executives.
