Here’s a sure bet: The legal fight over the Desert Diamond Casino West Valley will be in the court for months — perhaps even years — to come.
Fresh off a decision from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals this week that all but green-lighted Las Vegas-style gambling at the casino, a federal District Court judge said he will allow the state to reargue some of its core claims against the Tohono O’odham Nation, which runs the facility.
Wednesday’s order by Judge David Campbell is related to a separate lawsuit the Tohono O’odham brought against Arizona and Department of Gaming Director Daniel Bergin last year.
