Opened in April of 1983, the Casper Events Center is Wyoming’s Center for Entertainment.Here we are over three decades later and celebrating not only one of Casper’s most popular one cent facilities, but one of Wyoming’s most prized assets. 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.
