Buffalo Tower's hotel rooms deliver exceptional comfort and luxury

Treasure Island Resort and Casino officially cut the ribbon of its hotel tower, organizing a grand opening ceremony on Tuesday.

The Buffalo Tower represents the hotel and casino resort's first hotel tower, which opened back in 1995.

The latest refurbishment completely refreshed the Buffalo Tower, which has 246 rooms.

Besides externally, the hotel tower was refurbished completely internally as well, introducing a range of amenities.

All of the rooms of the reimagined Buffalo Tower are nonsmoking and successfully fuse comfort and functionality.

Guests can enjoy a range of features, including new furniture and new windows, USB plug-ins for charging, a refrigerator, as well as adjustable reading lights and personal safes to keep their belongings.

In a press release, Treasure Island Resort and Casino confirmed that customer feedback played an important role in the redevelopment of the Buffalo Tower.

The second-largest hotel and casino in Minnesota considered thousands of survey responses and implemented the best of them into the design of the hotel tower.

Ultimately, this feedback contributed to the luxury feel and modern look of the rooms in the hotel tower.

The redeveloped hotel tower reaffirms the venue's dedication to delivering exceptional experiences

Mike Heavner, Treasure Island's Interim General Manager, spoke with excitement about the latest announcement.

"The completely remodeled Buffalo Tower represents progress, pride, and our long-term commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience," he said.

Moreover, Heavner pointed out: "This investment strengthens our foundational business and helps ensure a vibrant future for generations to come."

Grant Johnson, Prairie Island Indian Community Tribal Council President, added: "Our past tribal leaders had tremendous vision when they planned and built this property more than 30 years ago."

Finally, Johnson explained: "It's a privilege to further that vision and create an even brighter future for our next generations. We're excited to watch the growth and continued success that the next 30 years will bring."

The reopening of the Buffalo Tower complements the range of amenities available at Treasure Island Resort and Casino.

Besides the newly reimagined tower, the venue offers a Wolf and Eagle tower, as well as a range of other amenities like Wave Spa, Amphitheater, The Lagoon indoor water park and others.
