Gila River Tribe prepares to open $200M casino

The Gila River Indian Community of Arizona will open a new casino on October 30.

The tribe spent $200 million on the new Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino. The facility features 1,002-slot machines, 71 table games, nine restaurants, five lounges, a nightclub, a 1,400-seat entertainment venue and a 10-story hotel.

The casino replaces another one nearby. The tribe also operates another casino.

"Even in this economy, we have not had that much of a struggle," general manager John Straus told The Arizona Republic.
