Sky River Casino will be the Wilton Rancheria tribe’s new Elk Grove resort, the name unveiled in a ceremony Tuesday with an opening date set for the second half of 2022.

“It’s a good day,” Wilton tribal elder and former chairwoman Mary Tarango, said after leading the crowd of several hundred tribal members, local and regional officials in prayer on the Promenade Parkway site near Highway 99. “Remember our ancestors — and our elders who believed this monumental day would come.”
