The Sacramento market is a hot one for casino properties, with last summer seeing the opening of both Hard Rock Live’s 2,500-seat theater in nearby Wheatland and the $500 million Skyview casino opening in the Sacramento suburb of Elk Grove.

Thunder Valley entertainment director Jon Bow said The Venue would take the casino’s entertainment offerings to the next level, and that appears to be the case following opening weekend as fans, industry insiders and even some celebrities flocked to see A-list performers in an intimate setting.įunded by the United Auburn Indian Community which has operated the casino since its 2003 opening, The Venue at Thunder Valley continues the trend of investing in Vegas-style amenities and entertainment in an increasingly competitive casino landscape. The brand-new The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort near Sacramento opened with a bang over President’s Day weekend, with sold-out shows from Eagles, Bruno Mars and Santana at the 4,500-seat, $100 million-plus theater Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
