The Gila River Indian Community of Arizona is taking steps to develop its casino resort outside of Phoenix.

The tribe is creating its own river walk that will be lined with shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, including a possible events center and a small hotel. It is modeled after the San Antonio River Walk but the tribe says the development will fit in with the area's natural state.

It won't be "Vegasville," the tribal member overseeing the work told The Arizona Republic.

The 2,400-acre site currently hosts a casino and hotel.
