Whether you gamble or not, and whether you can afford $266 a night for a room or not, you may be curious about the newest, tallest building in Tuolumne County — the new $325 million Chicken Ranch Casino Resort southwest of Jamestown that is set for its soft opening to the public next Monday, July 15 — and what it will have to offer.
Anyone who drives Highway 108 between Jamestown and Oakdale has seen the massive nine-story resort building rising since the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California broke ground on their new venue in August 2021.
This report is a first look inside the beige, brown, red, and gold casino resort building with Chicken Ranch Tribal Chairman Lloyd Mathiesen, who invited news media reporters, photojournalists, and videographers into the venue for a three-hour tour a week ago on Tuesday, July 2. Information from the tour was embargoed until 12:01 a.m. Monday, July 8.
Among the first things visitors can notice when coming in the new venue’s front entrance are a wagon-themed coffee shop; parallel patterns of wood paneling in the entry lobby ceiling; geometric patterns in the rugs on the marble flooring; chrome-paneled escalators and wood-paneled columns leading up to the second-story gaming floor; chevron patterns in the high ceilings above; and a main window with gold chevron patterns looking out over the resort entry drive and People of the Mountain Road.
All these design elements are rooted in suggestions from tribal council members, who conferred with other tribal members for their input. Denver-based WorthGroup Architects and Designers worked in person with tribal leaders to get the feel that they wanted, Mathiesen said.
“We interviewed with the architects,” Mathiesen said. “We sat down and they asked us questions. We wanted to make sure they could hear it from us and put it down on paper. WorkGroup was the one that hit it out of the park. That’s why you’ll see on the outside of the building there’s a lot of browns and light colors, because it’s the topography and the way this area looks a lot of times of the year. You’ll also see how it steps down and steps up, a lot like Table Mountain.”
The tribe did not want to go for Las Vegas glitz in their new resort’s interior design, Mathiesen said, and instead sought out a lower-key approach that would be more welcoming and more in tune with the tribe’s inherent beliefs in a benevolent creator, and centered, practical design that respects the rancheria’s natural setting.
“We wanted to make this feel like an open-style house, a ski-lodge type of area, a little more homey, a little more inviting,” Mathiesen said of the main reception and business center lobby area that leads up to the gaming floor. “There are small details across the entire resort, on the floors, on tables, in the ceilings, up and down. We didn’t want Vegas. We wanted to find a nice middle ground. Our feathers, the chevron patterns, our eggs, our chicken feet are visible throughout the entire resort.”
The reception desk lines up with the center of the new roundabout that junctions with People of the Mountain Road on Highway 108, which in turn lines with the center of the new tribal administration building behind the new casino resort.
“We’re centered, with the creator,” Mathiesen said. “It makes everything whole.”
Some of the most visually striking interiors inside the new Chicken Ranch Casino Resort are non-gaming venues that include Perch Rooftop Dining, with indoor seating and an outdoor patio, and the ground-level Trailblazer Coffee Co.
Main events at The Perch will include the views and the food. Since it’s now the tallest building in the county, Perch diners will be able to take in previously-unseen views of Table Mountain, the Red Hills, Chinese Camp, and the rural outskirts of Jamestown. The Perch includes a bar and balcony overlooking the still-under-construction pool area.
Casino resort promoters say The Perch’s cuisine will blend “sky-high flavors and American fusion.” The venue sports a glass-paned Carvery room where visitors will be able to watch Perch staff carving Jamón Ibérico, specially-aged ham from Spain, Manny Dos Santos, the casino resort’s food and beverage director, said during the tour.
“Its flavor profile is very intense, very good,” Dos Santos said.
The meat-slicing spectacle may also be brought directly into the dining room. The fire-engine red Berkel flywheel slicer inside the Carvery room is equipped with four roller-wheels for mobility.
The Perch will also offer a small-bites menu; fresh oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, and Dungeness crab; artisan handmade breads; precision steaks prepared in a state-of-the-art Montague Steakhouse Broiler; top-shelf whiskey flights; premium martinis, oyster shooters, and caviar; 32 selections of wine by the glass, as as by-the-bottle selections, some produced locally, some from elsewhere in California, and some imported from France, Italy, and Germany; and desserts from scratch, Dos Santos said.
Some of the staff at Perch who will focus on breads, pastries, and desserts are from Columbia College’s culinary arts and hospitality management programs, Dos Santos said. Some produce for the rooftop venue will be locally-sourced.
The vast gaming floor, covering more than 100,000 square feet, include room for the (209) Sports Bar + Kitchen, which Mathiesen says “will be the very first sportsbook venue in the state” with Class II legal bingo-style sports betting; the Quill Cocktail Bar; and a Wahlburgers Burger Restaurant, from the gourmet burger chain owned by actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg and their chef brother, Paul.
During last week’s tour, gaming technicians had multiple slot machines and other gambling machines open to prepare them for next week’s soft opening.
The (209) features bar-top gaming consoles, high-definition video screen for live sporting events, two private dining rooms, and fanciful black-and-white portraits of the Tuolumne County sports legend Bigfoot, competing in tackle football, ice hockey, basketball, and baseball.
The Quill Bar has a central, circular layout and will feature magic mixture cocktails. Wahlburgers staff at the new casino resort prepared part of the venue’s menu for visitors last week, including double decker burgers, tater tots, and fries.
Back on the ground floor, Trailblazer Coffee Co. is intended to evoke the end of a wagon train journey, with emigrant families and their wagons coming into the Mother Lode like they did during the post-Gold Rush era, Mathiesen said.
“It’s the end of the trail,” Mathiesen said. “And we’re starting off on a new trail now.”
The new Chicken Ranch Casino Resort will include a 197-room hotel, expanded gaming floor, a collection of restaurants and bars, a fitness center, a conference center, gift shop and a tribal cultural center. The soft opening scheduled July 15 will include the main resort, hotel, and several restaurants and bars. A grand opening celebration is planned later this year for the remaining restaurants and bars, as well as a 12,000-square-foot event space.
The Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California is a federally-recognized tribe of Miwok people in Tuolumne County. Discounted rooms for stays beginning July 15 are still available starting at $266 a night. For more information go to https://bit.ly/3XUH9ed.
