Fiestas are back!

By Sean McGowan, August 20th 2009

Blog from Jim B:

Man, I attended the fiesta here at Colusa Casino Resort last night and it was a blast.  I can't remember the last time we had a turn out like that for one of these events but there must have been at least 900 people dancing, drinking and having a ball!  Even after the show was over the party migrated out to the floor and Jack's Lounge and continued into the wee hours of the night.  It's been quite some time since we've had a fiesta here so I'm excited that they're back, and I'll see you at the next one!

Colusa Casino Resort launches a brand new website!

By Phil Robertson, July 1st 2009

Everyone here at Colusa Casino Resort is excited about our new website created by Denver-based marketing firm G.A. Wright Marketing. We’re confident that our guests will find our new home on the Internet at www.colusacasino.com much more welcoming, user-friendly and helpful.

G.A. Wright has created a brand new look for us along with lots of new content to give guests a whole new interactive Colusa experience. The new site highlights the unique features of our property and shows that Colusa Casino Resort is both an ideal choice for Northern California weekend getaways and a great place to just spend the day.

Specifically, our new website is focused on the players. Along with navigation that’s much more intuitive and easy to use, we’ve added lots of local winners and used our employees as models, giving the site a much more local feel. Ultimately our customers will be able to find out more about the latest activities and events at Colusa with just a few clicks. We've even made a special site featuring our beautiful resort hotel and its amenities.

Soon guests will also be able to book hotel rooms online, helping to turn casual browsers into future overnight guests. Guests can also take a virtual tour, read blogs like the one you’re reading now and find out about important community dates on the new site. We’ve also added all of our bingo information and all of the current menus from our restaurants.

Most importantly, the new website will also give guests an opportunity to give us feedback through this blog and instant messenger. The instant messenger will allow guests to speak with a live representative from the casino and ask questions about upcoming promotions and events.

Take a few moments to check out the new site now at www.colusacasino.com and let us know what you think by leaving a comment below. We look forward to hearing from you!
