LRBOI is the political successor to nine of the nineteen historic bands of the Grand River Ottawa people. The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians (LRBOI) is a Native Sovereign Nation based in Manistee, Michigan.
Little River Casino Resort is a wholly owned enterprise of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians.
By 2007, Little River realized its full design with the latest expansion that included the Makwa Endaat event center, expansion of its restaurants and hotel, and the inclusion of a fantastic winter garden under a beautiful pyramid of glass. In 2002 the first phase of the current casino was opened to the public with an expanded slot floor and hotel. In 1999, the first Little River Casino site opened its doors (the original building is still utilized for administrative offices just next door to the current casino site).
The casino also offers three restaurants, over 90 spaces in its RV Park, and 292 spacious rooms in its northern lodge hotel. Located at the intersection of US 31 and scenic M-22, Little River offers over 1,500 slots, BINGO, and a variety of table games 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not far outside the Victorian port city, you’ll find one of Michigan’s favorite gaming destinations, Little River Casino Resort.
