The Glendale Star
The Tohono O’odham Nation and the State of Arizona jointly announced May 17 an agreement to settle their dispute regarding the Desert Diamond Casino West Valley near the City of Glendale.
Under this agreement, the Nation will move forward with Class III gaming at its West Valley facility under an amended tribal-state gaming compact. The state will process the West Valley facility’s Class III gaming certification and liquor license in the normal course of the regulatory process. The state has also agreed that it will not oppose the Nation’s efforts to have its land immediately adjacent to the West Valley facility taken into trust.
