If it's happening in Wyoming, chances are it's happening at the Casper Events Center. Built high on a hill over-looking the city, Casper Mountain, and the scenic Platte River Valley, the Casper Events Center lends new meaning to the term "accommodating." Opened in April of 1982, the Casper Events Center is Wyoming's Center for Entertainment. The Casper Events Center was funded entirely by the City's portion of the optional 1% sales tax, with a construction cost of $22 million and the facility completely paid for when the doors opened for our first event on April 17, 1982.
