Nnee Bich’o Nii Apache Transit makes second trip to Apache Sky Casino

Posted

The Nnee Bich’o Nii Apache Transit made their second shuttle run to the Apache Sky Casino for the public on Monday, Sept. 16.

There were fewer passengers than the first run on Sept. 6 but they enjoyed themselves and had helpful suggestions for future trips.

Stephen Moses of Bylas made the long journey to enjoy the atmosphere of a different casino. He received his $20 in free play and $5 voucher for lunch.  He ordered his lunch and sat to a machine while he ate; he was not going to waste one minute at a chance to win big.

An elderly couple from Peridot expressed their appreciation for the shuttle service. The husband, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that it was their third trip to Apache Sky. He went on to say, “We like coming here but the drive is too far and I’m usually too tired to gamble when I get here.” He recalled his days, as a young man, working in the mines in San Manuel and how he never thought the Tribe would ever build anything like the casino out there.

Other passengers enjoyed the privacy offered at the Apache Sky Casino.

Another recommended Apache Transit schedule the next trip at the beginning of the month “when he has more money to spend”. 

Apache Transit scheduled another shuttle run to Apache Sky Casino on Friday, Oct. 4. The fee is $20 roundtrip.

Pick-up locations are scheduled for San Carlos and Bylas.

It is not necessary to catch the shuttle at the pick-up locations for anyone interested in taking the shuttle Apache Sky.

Anyone with their own transportation may meet the shuttle at the Apache Gold Casino.

The shuttle departs Apache Gold Casino at 10:30 a.m. for the hour-long ride.

Once at Apache Sky, the passengers will receive $20 in free play and a $5 food voucher.

The shuttle departs Apache Sky at 2:30 p.m. 

The shuttle service is open to the public.

Anyone from the Globe-Miami area wishing to enjoy the trip, may contact Apache Transit at 928-475-5023 to arrange a pick-up location in their area.

So, make plans to participate in this fun activity and let Apache Transit do the driving while you enjoy the beautiful scenery.
