In 1997, the OIN paid for construction of a water tower near the casino and donated it to the Town of Verona, as one of their community contributions. Additionally, the combination created a larger and more formal lobby to serve both the hotel and casino to be one structure. This new design allowed the Oneida Indian Nation to offer more services, including a pool, a spa, and a gym. Because of the delay, the hotel plans were re-designed to combine the hotel and casino into one structure. The hotel's original design plans had the hotel and casino separate, connected only by an outdoor walkway. Disagreements over the hotel plans delayed its construction for a year. The Bingo Hall's construction was completed in 1995. Construction of an on-site hotel and a bingo hall began in 1994. The land upon which the casino is located was acquired from Ibrahim Batca and his family in two transactions in 19. Ultimately, the OIN decided not to add a shopping mall because online shopping has diminished patronage to shopping malls. As a fall-back plan, the OIN had the casino designed so that it could be adapted as a small shopping mall, if necessary. Development of the casino was opposed from within and outside the OIN. It was developed at a time when Native American sovereignty and the right to establish gaming casinos on reservations had survived court challenges. The casino, and associated hotel for visitors and conventions, was conceived as a revenue-generating enterprise to aid in economic and social development of the OIN. Adjacent to exit 33 of the New York State Thruway, the resort is a popular tourist destination in central New York State and has received numerous awards in the industry.

Until the Seneca Niagara Casino opened in 2002, it was the only land-based casino in New York. The facility opened on July 20, 1993, and offers golf amenities (on- and off-site golf courses, one of PGA Tour quality, and an indoor golf dome), an RV park, trails for walking, an amusement arcade, many restaurants, spas, Bingo, Keno, table games, and many types of reel and video slot machines.
