The Mill Casino hosted its “All Employee Quarterly Meeting” this week in the Salmon Room East/West.   In the spirit of casino fun- we introduced ” Employee Pick ’til You Win” at the meeting and some of our staff members walked away big winners!

In addition to fun and games, the management took time to pay well deserved recognition to some of our star staff members by awarding the 2010 End of Year Employee Awards.  Congratulations to the following awards recipients  for their outstanding contributions!

Employee of the Year: John Fink, Payroll
Manager of the Year: Vickie Standridge, Events Manager

Our five winners/contestants came from diverse departments: surveillance, hotel, purchasing, payroll and valet.

You will be hard pressed to find a place more special….more unique than the Oregon Coast.   The sweeping views of Coos Bay and the Pacific Ocean naturally creates an unforgettable backdrop for your wedding.  Depending on the time of year, you and your guests will have plenty of activities to choose from: from fishing to riding the sand dunes; from strolling on the beach or downtown Coos Bay- boredom is never an option on the Oregon Coast.

The event planning staff at The Mill Casino has the expertise required to arrange a wedding to remember.   The Mill has over 14,000 sq. ft. of comfortable and open space.  Our wedding planners will help you to choose the perfect venue and plan details for your bridal shower, wedding and reception of your dreams.

Though there are a number of rooms to choose from, the spacious yet intimate setting in the Willow Room is one of our most desired locations for special events.

We kicked 2011 Wild West Style this past weekend, and had a blast doing so!   Not to mentions tons of big winners in the casino (check out our January Casino Winners Hall of Fame) The party started on New Years Eve on the casino floor when guests were treated to triple points, line dancing lessons, trick roping demonstrations and chances to wrangle gift cards and other prizes for having the slickest boot scootin’ moves and snappiest bib and tucker (aka Wild West duds).

Later in the evening, the Salmon Room was hopping with party-goers in outrageous costumes at the Boots and Boogie dance party featuring The Brick House band.  Next door in Warehouse 101 partygoers danced to the tunes from one of our favorite regular bands Hookah Stew.
