Nine years after announcing its plan for a full-scale casino in the West Valley, and nine months after breaking ground, the Tohono O’odham Nation is making progress on its new Desert Diamond West Valley Casino.

Tribal officials announced Wednesday that the casino, which broke ground in December, will open by the end of 2019.

The casino is being built adjacent to the temporary casino the tribe opened in 2015, near 93rd and Northern avenues. The project is just one piece of the tribe’s plan to transform its 135-acre property into a full-scale casino, resort and spa.

More than twice the size

The new $400 million casino will have table games along with slots. It will be much larger than the temporary casino, with a 75,000-square-foot casino floor compared with the 30,000-square-foot floor at the temporary location. It will also offer live bingo and have five restaurants.
