- Category: News
Get out those ripped jeans and your Aqua Net, it's time to ROCK! Kewadin Casino St. Ignace is proud to present the 80's ROCK INVASION, featuring some of your favorite Rockers including ACE FREHLEY, GREAT WHITE, SLAUGHTER, STEVEN ADLER OF GUNS N' ROSES and VIXEN. It's all happening Saturday, July 20 at Kewadin Casino St. Ignace for one incredible outdoor concert.
Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss, the only thing more recognizable than ACE FREHLEY's signature "Spaceman" makeup is his guitar playing. Frehley will be headlining this incredible 80's Rock Invasion with a mix of Kiss and solo hits—Shock Me, Rocket Ride, Rock Soldiers, Cherry Medicine, 10,000 Volts and Deuce could be heard ending the night.
For a band to continue to thrive for over 40 years in the music business, the mantra must be, these songs are bigger than any one member. GREAT WHITE has understood that mantra and is bringing hit after hit to the outdoor stage—Once Bitten, Twice Shy; Rock Me; Mista Bone; Save Your Love; House of Broken Love and more, so get ready for it!
Hitting the stage like they hit the music world in 1990, expect SLAUGHTER to tear it up with the hits you love after three decades of Rock & Roll—Up All Night, Fly To The Angels, Mad About You and more!
STEVEN ADLER OF GUNS N' ROSES invades St. Ignace with all the Guns N' Roses hits that you love—Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City, Mr. Brownstone and many more!
Founded in the 1980's, the VIXEN legacy continues with an incredible lineup and opens the 80's Rock Invasion with your favorite Vixen hits—Edge of a Broken Heart, Cryin', Love Made Me and more.
Get your tickets early and be a part of the invasion at Kewadin Casino St. Ignace on Saturday, July 20.

LAS VEGAS & RENO, Nev.—Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced on Feb. 20 an agreement to acquire the operations of WynnBET’s Michigan iGaming business and a long-term extension of iGaming market access rights with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, subject to regulatory approvals. As part of the transaction, Caesars gains access to the Sault Tribe’s iGaming skins, enabling Caesars to operate additional digital brands in Michigan, and existing WynnBET customers will be transitioned to Caesars’ Michigan iGaming platform, pending regulatory approvals. Wynn and Caesars will receive non-cash consideration, including extinguishment, reductions, and assignment of certain contractual obligations related to both parties’ businesses.
“As we continue to grow our iGaming franchise, the assumption of WynnBET’s iGaming operations in Michigan allows us to tap into a significant market and customer base, providing a crucial step forward in growing our digital products and offering players more ways to play,” said Matt Sunderland, SVP & Chief iGaming Officer for Caesars Entertainment. “We are honored to work with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and look forward to growing with them in Michigan.”
WynnBET’s iGaming operations provide Caesars with the unique opportunity to expand further into one of the largest iCasino markets in the U.S. while continuing to operate both Caesars Sportsbook and Caesars Palace Online Casino. Caesars intends to transition the WynnBET iCasino operations in Michigan later this year to one of the flagship gaming brands within the Caesars portfolio. Caesars is committed to a seamless transition and premium customer experience for current WynnBET iGaming customers. More information on Caesars’ new iCasino offering will be announced at a later date.
“It was paramount that our next partner in iGaming possessed both expertise in the U.S. iGaming market and a history of strong partnerships in Indian country. We believe we found that with Caesars and look forward to being part of their new iCasino offering,” said Austin Lowes, Chairman of Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
The Sault Tribe currently owns and operates Kewadin Casinos, which consist of five land-based casinos located throughout the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
