Location and clientele
The casino is targeted at the Bismarck-Mandan statistical area, which consists of over 100,000 people and is located about 50 miles north of the facility. Many inhabitants of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation are employed at the casino. Located just 25 miles from the state's border with South Dakota, the casino also serves the north-central region of that state.
The Pavilion
Prairie Knights is also home to an entertainment pavilion that sees about 15 music concerts every year. It has become one of the largest entertainment attractions in the western half of the state, being host to more national music acts than the nearby Bismarck Civic Center per year.
