Soaring Eagle is Vying for its First ACM Honor
Soaring Eagle is one of the five nominees in its category, alongside Golden Nugget in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, Resorts World Theatre in Resorts World Las Vegas, and Deadwood Mountain Grand. The Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, founded in 1998, is owned and operated by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. It has been graced by some of the biggest country music artists in the last decade, including Luke Bryan, Vince Gill, Dustin Lynch, and Kane Brown.
Soaring Eagle offers two performance venues, namely a 3,260-seat indoor music hall and the Soaring Eagle Outdoor Arena, which can accommodate more than 11,000 general admission guests and over 5,000 reserved seating.
While Michigan casinos also host notable performers, Soaring Eagle’s music destinations are widely regarded as the premier destinations north of Detroit. The casino hosts an annual “Outdoor Concert Series,” featuring performances by renowned artists such as Jelly Roll Morton, Willie Nelson, James Taylor, and others.
