Navajo Nation moves forward with plans for casino

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

The Navajo Nation is moving forward with plans for a second casino.

The new casino would be located in Upper Fruitland, near Farmington, New Mexico. The facility is expected to cost between $70 million and $80 million and would likely include a hotel.

The tribe opened the Fire Rock Navajo Casino near Gallup, New Mexico, in November 2008. Revenues have exceeded projections.
