WILDHORSE WINS PEOPLE\u2019S CHOICE AWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mission, OR<\/em> \u2013 Though not located in the Tri-Cities, the close proximity of Wildhorse Resort & Casino<\/a> to the Pasco, Kennewick and Richland areas in Washington made it a contender, and the eventual winner, of the 2020 People\u2019s Choice Award for Best Casino.<\/p>\n

The annual survey of residents of the tri-city area is coordinated by the Tri-City Herald and includes categories for local favorites like Best Burger, Best Annual Community Event, Best Grocery Store, and Best Non-Profit.<\/p>\n

With voting starting in February, 2020 was a particularly tough year to impress visitors when Wildhorse, along with most businesses, had to close their doors.<\/p>\n

CEO Gary George reflected on the reason for the award. \u201cI think our dedication and attention to our guests and employees during the pandemic was a positive influence on voters,\u201d George said. \u201cI think our guests know how much we care about them and what lengths we\u2019ll go to to keep them safe and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
