Today is the grand opening of the newest restaurant at Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino.

Chop Block & Brew has dining and a lounge. The design was influenced by an art and design committee appointed by Ak-Chin Chairman Robert Miguel.

“The Community’s history and culture is depicted in the architecture, artwork and colors throughout the restaurant,” said Robert Livingston, general manager and regional president of Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino.

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with gourmet burgers, steaks, prime rib and seafood. The full bar has more than 30 draft and bottled craft beers, cocktails and premium whiskey and scotch.

Livingston said the restaurant “offers the perfect blend of an upscale dining experience with the first-class customer service our valued guests have come to expect here at Harrah’s Ak-Chin.”

One of its signatures is a wood-burning mesquite grill.

Harrah’s Ak-Chin is part of Caesar’s Entertainment. The casino continues its multimillion-dollar expansion. That expansion has already included the opening of a parking garage, Oak & Fork restaurant and a pedestrian bridge to UltraStar Multi-tainment Center. It will soon include a spa and conference center and 200 more hotel rooms.

“We take pride in offering our guests a comfortable and inviting entertainment experience,” Livingston said.

At 3,454 square feet, Chop Block & Brew has seating for 159. It features Native American-inspired artwork and design elements that highlight the culture and traditions of the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
