Tohono O'odham Nation builds $120M casino facility

Construction is underway on a $120 million casino on the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona.

The tribe started work on the 323,000-square-foot casino last April. It features a hotel, nightclub, five bars, a buffet, a steakhouse, a conference center, a banquet hall and retail shops.

The new facility, slated to open this fall, is going up at the site of the tribe's original bingo hall, built back in 1984. After signing a compact, the tribe built a casino at the site, which will be torn down to make way for a parking lot.
