We’re expecting things to be even bigger and better the second time around,” said MSPT owner and operator Bryan Mileski.

Niehaus went on to add: “Our property was newly renovated last year and has been on the rise ever since. We opened a new buffet, expanded our casino floor for even more of the newest slots around, and renovated our poker room with brand new chairs, tables, carpet, flat screen televisions and high-speed wireless internet.”
