Laguna Development corporation kicks off the New Year with huge improvements to what locals refer to as "108".
  LDC launches 2009 with the opening of the new Dairy Queen Grill& Chill. The Grill & Chill replaces Taco Bell and offers an expanded menu including all day menu selections for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The new Menu offers salads, sandwiches and a variety of other healthy menu choices to compliment traditional favorites and ice cream treats. Since the opening in late December, the new Dairy Queen Grill & Chill has been well received by locals and interstate travelers alike.

"Dairy Queen is a strong recognizable brand. We expect great things in the future for the new Grill & Chill," according to Jorge Brasil, Chief of Food & Beverage Laguna Development
Corporation.
  In addition to the new Grill & Chill at the Dancing Eagle Travel Center, Dancing Eagle Casino added 36 new slots in January and has plans to add 28 additional slots in February. To make room for the welcome additions, Dancing Eagle has removed the six live table games located in the center of the casino.  Table games players can

 

now play on two new virtual craps and roulette games that compliment the existing virtual Black Jack and Let It Ride machines.  "Dancing Eagle has always taken the lead in offering the newest slots in the market,  our newest games are just icing on the cake," says Jeff Inman, Dancing Eagle Casino Manager of the entertainment experience at Dancing Eagle Casino.  Other new games include Starwars and Indiana Jones.
  It has been nine years since Laguna Developement Corporation (LDC) opened the doors to Dancing

Eagle Casino, Laguna's first casino enterprise at exit 108.  The casino and adjacent restaurant & travel center immediately became the entertainment hub for locals and travelers.  With over 500 slots, free live entertainment on the weekends, a family style restaurant and full service travel center, it's become the place to be every day of the week.
  Laguna Development Corporation continues to take the lead in creating enterprises that exceed the expectations of our guests with new food and entertainment offerings around every corner.
