Construction on the new Desert Diamond Casino facility, which will be near to Loop 303 and Northern Parkway, has started, according to Tohono O'odham Gaming Enterprise. A casino floor measuring 184,000 square feet with 900 Class III slot machines, a poker room, a retail sportsbook, table games like blackjack, craps, roulette, and baccarat, as well as food options, will be part of the new building's first phase. Additionally, a surface parking lot with 3,400 spaces will be constructed. This $450 million project's construction is anticipated to be finished in around 19 months. Additionally, more than 5,500 jobs will be created during construction, which is being managed by the Hunt/Penta Joint Venture in its capacity as general contractor. The massive and full-service casino will employ 1,300 people once it is finished.
