Gray Wolf Peak Casino

Gray Wolf Peak Casino in Missoula, Montana, owned by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, stands as a striking testament to the harmony between modern design and the natural beauty of the region. Nestled in the Mission Valley, the casino offers breathtaking views of Gray Wolf Peak, particularly from its restaurant, where expansive windows frame the majestic mountain. The architectural design incorporates locally quarried stone and timber harvested from the Tribe’s sustainably managed forests, grounding the structure in its environment while celebrating tribal stewardship of the land.

The interior design reflects the cultural and natural heritage of the area, with custom carpeting inspired by the bitterroot flower, Montana's state flower and a symbol of resilience and beauty for the Salish and Kootenai people. The use of earthy tones, natural textures, and tribal motifs creates an ambiance that is both welcoming and deeply connected to the region’s identity. This thoughtful approach to design s that every aspect of the casino tells a story, honoring the traditions and landscape of the Tribal lands.

The casino has been thoughtfully designed to maximize its limited site space, with a four-story hotel planned to be built directly above the existing structure in a future phase. This innovative approach will allow the casino to expand its offerings while preserving the surrounding environment. The hotel will include luxurious accommodations and additional amenities that will transform the property into a complete destination for gaming, dining, and relaxation.

Gray Wolf Peak Casino has also gained national recognition as a featured location in the hit TV show Yellowstone, showcasing the stunning natural beauty of its setting and the thoughtful integration of its design. Combining cultural significance, scenic views, and luxurious features, Gray Wolf Peak Casino is a true landmark for the Salish and Kootenai Tribes and an iconic destination for visitors to Western Montana.
