Comanche Cache Casino Manager Looks to Future

Brian Weryavah is the acting general manager for the new Comanche Cache Casino. The soft opening for the public will be on February 12, with a grand opening on February 21.

He said he’s ready to get open and operational.

“I'm ready to see new faces. It's been a while since I have been out on the floor interacting with guests,” Weryavah said. “I did in previous positions, but I'm, you know, not as frequent as I will be as a general manager of a property.”

He has many things he’s looking forward to, including opening a property.

“With, you know, all the shiny new bells and whistles, I'm looking forward to a new set of clientele of…working with and being able to interact with and hopefully draw people from the west side of Oklahoma to come to our property,” Weryavah said. “And then also see familiar faces that I've seen…previously working in the other casinos. I've been in different positions over the years, so there's lots of guests that I still see on a day-to-day basis or frequently whenever I'm out and so forth.”

Those positions have varied over the past two decades.

“Whenever I started with Comanche Nation Entertainment in 2003, I started out as the food and beverage manager for just Comanche Nation Casino. After that, I was promoted to purchasing manager for Comanche Nation Entertainment, so I was the purchasing manager that took care of all of the purchasing needs for all of our properties at that point,” Weryavah said. “After that, I became an acting operations manager. I was asked to fill that role. And I did that for 10 months, and then I was promoted to general manager of Comanche Spur Casino. And I did that for 10 months. And then I was promoted to general manager of Comanche Red River Hotel and Casino. And then I was promoted to director of food and beverage, which I did that for the last five years until being appointed in this new position.”

He said the most significant difference of the Cache Casino will be its size and where guests come from, and he hopes to attract guests from smaller communities.

“It helps to bring the smaller communities to the property. I hope to make this something…very successful and a travel destination for our guests,” Weryavah said.

He said the view of the Wichita Mountains is another highlight of the property.

They’re also a franchisee of Wahlburgers and will be the first in Oklahoma.
