A handful of tribes in San Diego, California, are seeing an improvement in their gaming business, prompting multi-million dollar expansion and renovation projects.
The Rincon Band of Luiseño
Indians is nearly finished with a $160 million expansion. The project includes a new hotel tower that will give the Harrah’s
Rincon Casino & Resort the largest number of rooms at any tribal facility in the entire state.
Meanwhile, the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians just finished an $6 million "extreme" makeover of the Valley View Casino.
And the Viejas Band of
Kumeyaay Indians unveiled a $36 million hotel at the Viejas Casino last year.
A new player is coming to the county too. The Jamul Indian
Village started work on a $360 million casino that's due to open in late 2015.
