Representatives with the Shoshone-Bannock tribes reaffirmed their commitment to developing a casino, hotel and entertainment complex in Mountain Home five years after the tribes purchased a section of land on the city’s north side.

Described by tribal officials as a world-class resort and entertainment venue, the project includes plans to build a 500,000-square-foot casino and a 250-room hotel along with a bowling alley, two movie theaters and an entertainment arcade in addition to various dining options.
