Island Resort & Casino is a large casino resort in Harris, Michigan, on US 2 and 41 in the central Upper Peninsula. It is wholly owned and operated by the Hannahville Indian Community and has been a fixture in the region since the 1980s. The resort combines a gaming floor, a hotel of more than 450 rooms and suites, golf and an RV park, so it works as a destination rather than just a stop.
Who it suits
Island Resort suits Upper Peninsula locals and travelers who want gaming, a room and a round of golf in one place. The golf suites and RV park make it a fit for golf trips and for people traveling in a camper.
It is a long drive from the Lower Peninsula, so it is less convenient for a quick visit unless you are already touring the U.P. Check the casino's age policy before you go; Michigan casinos set 18+ or 21+ by venue.
The gaming floor
The resort says it has over 1,150 slot machines. It also offers table games, though no table count is published, so ask the casino if a particular game matters to you. A sportsbook is part of the resort as well; confirm what is on offer when you arrive.
As with most Upper Peninsula casinos, expect a mix of video slots, reel slots and the usual table games, with the busiest times on weekends and holidays.
Dining and the hotel
The resort lists seven places to eat and drink, including Horizons Steakhouse, Island Café, Firekeeper's Restaurant, The Reef, Signature Pizza, 5 Bridges Bar and T. McC's Sports Bar. Hours vary by venue.
The hotel has more than 450 guest rooms and suites, and there is a 42-site RV park. Golf is a big part of the draw, with championship courses and golf suites. A multimillion-dollar expansion announced in 2024 included work on the golf operation and convention space, so expect some facilities to be newer than older reviews suggest. Check which parts are open for your dates.
Getting there
Island Resort is at W399 US 2 & 41 in Harris, on the highway corridor in Delta County, a short drive from Escanaba. Parking is on site. Winter driving in the U.P. can be slow, so check the forecast before a snowy-season trip.
Planning tips: book golf tee times and weekend rooms ahead, bring photo ID, and confirm restaurant hours for the night you plan to eat in.
