Our Tribal Council and Enterprise membership are committed to the long-term vision of growth and prosperity for all those involved," added Glenda Nelson, Tribal Chairwoman, Enterprise Rancheria of Estom Yumeka Maidu, owners of the Hard Rock Sacramento. "More than two million people visited the Hard Rock Sacramento last year. We are thrilled to complete our second phase of expansion in less than 3 years of operation, allowing us to expand all the ways we give back."
