Treasure Island Resort & Casino opens Buffalo Tower

WELCH, Minn. (KTTC) – Tuesday was a milestone for Treasure Island Resort & Casino as it celebrated the grand opening of its Buffalo Tower. The renovated building, originally opened in 1995, is the company’s first hotel tower.

“It’s a great day and a milestone day for Treasure Island Resort and Casino and the Prairie Island Indian Community, celebrating a year-long project where we basically tore the Buffalo Tower, our oldest hotel tower, down to the shreds and brought it back up,” Treasure Island’s Public Relations manager Aaron Seehusen said. “We’re excited to get this open and welcome our guests.”

According to Treasure Island, the new Buffalo Tower features 246 redesigned guest rooms and suites which are shaped by guest feedback. With the Wolf, Eagle and Buffalo Towers, Treasure Island said it now offers a total of 788 rooms.

“Your island escape is not that far away,” Seehusen said. “We are only 45 minutes from Rochester. We have it all at the island.”

Seehusen said Treasure Island is the second-largest hotel in Minnesota. He said, “We are the largest employer in Goodhue County. This certainly is a community asset that will be enjoyed by many people for years to come.”

Treasure Island stated the Buffalo Tower is expected to host approximately 120,000 guests in its first year. To learn more, visit Treasure Island’s website.
