Spirit Mountain is financing the
major highway improvements cur
rently underway at what will be the
Casino's entrance. Motorists on
Highway 18 are using temporary
lanes while an underpass under the
permanent highway is being con
structed. The underpass will enable
westbound traffic to enter and leave
the Spirit Mountain area without
making a left hand turn. A turning
lane will be added for eastbound traf
fic. Sabatini estimates that, weather
permitting, the highway project will
be completed in mid-July.
These improvements will not only
avoid traffic problems related to the
Casino but also make a high-accident
stretch of Highway 18 safer for all
motorists. No public funds are being
used for these improvements.

The award-winning Sandstrom De
sign firm has created a striking new
logo for Spirit Mountain Casino. The
logo features a coyote jumping over
Spirit Mountain and an unusual type
face. "It's a great design that works very
well for marketing while reminding
the public of our Indian heritage," says
Marketing Director Galford. The
Spirit Mountain logo will be used in
ads, brochures, signage, and merchan
dise. When it opens in October, the Spirit
Mountain Casino will employ 850
people in a broad range of positions.
