Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort is a large tribal resort in Mount Pleasant, in central Michigan. It is owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and has been open since 1998. It is one of the biggest gaming floors in the state and draws players from across the middle of Michigan.
Who it suits
Soaring Eagle suits players who want maximum choice: a very large slot floor, a deep table game selection and one of the larger poker rooms in the state. It also works for a weekend trip, with a hotel, a variety of restaurants and entertainment on site.
It is less suited to a short, low-key visit, since the property is large and walking distances are long. 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 about 210,000 square feet of gaming space, with more than 2,700 slot machines and more than 70 table games as of October 2026. Table games include blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat and poker variants. There is also a separate Slot Palace across the street with more slots, bingo and keno.
The poker room has 18 tables. Ascend Sportsbook is the on-site retail sportsbook, with self-service betting kiosks.
Dining and the hotel
Dining includes Ruth's Chris Steak House, Johnny Rockets, Siniikaung Bistro, Central Deli & Slice!, Little Eagle Café and Native Grind Coffee Shoppe, plus the Food District, which has four outlets, and Ascend Lounge. Hours vary by venue.
The resort has a large hotel, and the resort promotes its suites as Four Diamond. It also lists a waterpark in its resort offerings. We have not confirmed a current room count, so check the resort for availability and room types.
