Fourth of July Festivities

The Native American company stated that the light show at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino and Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino will be held respectively July 2 and July 4. Both shows will start at around 9:40 p.m., however, there will not be public viewing areas due to the capacity restrictions.
19th Anniversary
Speaking of festivities the tribal company previously celebrated its 19th year anniversary after its inclusion in the NYS gaming industry with the 2002 gaming compact with the state. The referendum was passed with a margin of 101 votes, and that is why the company has decided to name its recently revamped club Lounge 101 at its first casino in the region – Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino.
