The Oneida Indian Nation's Yellow Brick Road Casino is open for business.

A grand opening ceremony was held today at the $20 million, 60,000 square foot facility in Chittenango.

Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter says the Nation's success is linked to the success of the entire region. He says that's why they're investing right here in central New York.
