About
It is our pleasure to announce an exciting new venture in the West Valley. The Tohono O’odham Nation, in conjunction with our gaming enterprise, plans to construct an unparalleled resort and casino near Glendale, Arizona. The new West Valley Resort at Northern Avenue is predicated on federal and state law and will provide a major, sustained economic boost to local communities and the state of Arizona.
This unique endeavor will be located on property adjacent to Northern Avenue between 91st Avenue and 95th Avenue, and is in line with guidelines set out in the corresponding federal law. It will be a full-scale, first-class resort and casino that includes amenities such as a spa, convention and meeting rooms, an event center, retail space, restaurants and bars, and a 3-acre atrium, bringing the beauty of Arizona indoors.
We have conducted extensive due diligence, including in-depth research on the broad impacts this project will have throughout the region. The results are resounding and positive effects will be felt in nearly every corner. The construction of the facility will create 6,000 new jobs and more than 3,000 permanent jobs will be created for day-to-day operations once it opens. State and local governments at all levels will be bolstered through tax revenues and revenue sharing policies. Finally, the addition of a new casino will increase total gaming revenue in the market.
In May we were excited to hear that the BIA’s Western Regional Office determined that the land meets all requirements and that acquisition of the land is mandatory. With that decision finalized, we are looking forward to taking the next steps while we continue to meet with local businesses and governments to discuss the status of the project.
