Legends, buffet
hours for winter
In anticipation of the winter months, Spirit
Mountain Casino has changed the hours of
operation in the deli, Legends and Cedar
Plank Buffet, Director of Guest Services Janet
Shultz said.
"This will allow us to not only serve our
valued guests, but take care of our business
needs," she said. "We hope to adjust hours of
operation again in the spring."
New hours for Legends include closing at 9
p.m. Monday through Thursday, closing at 11
p.m. Friday and Saturday and closing at 10
p.m. on Sunday. Hours for Summit View will
remain the same and Legends will no longer
close between 4 and 5 p.m. daily.
The Cedar Plank Buffet will open at 8 a.m.
Monday through Friday and close at 9 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday.
The deli will close for cleaning from 4 to 5
a.m. Monday through Friday and from 7 to 8
a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The new hours started the week of Oct. 26.
Shultz said the dining outlets will operate on
weekend hours on holidays.
"In addition, we will always adjust closing
hours, as needed, if business warrants staying
open for guest service," she said.
In addition, winter buffet prices are:
$8.95 (down $1) for breakfast Monday
through Friday;
$9.95 (down $2) for lunch Monday through
Friday;
$ 1 1.95 (down $6) for Winter Sunday Brunch
starting at 9 a.m.
Shultz said high-end items, such as suahi,
pates, crab and homemade pastries will be
eliminated.
Prices will be re-evaluated in the spring,
she added.
