GLENDALE, AZ — The Tohono O'odham Nation opened its $400 million, 1.2 million-square-foot class III casino -- the new Desert Diamond West Valley Casino -- in Glendale, Arizona on Wednesday evening.

Located slightly east of the Loop 101 near Northern Avenue and 91st Avenue, the new casino features slot machines, poker tables, blackjack tables, live Bingo, two bars, a VIP lounge, and five restaurants dining areas, including an upscale steakhouse.

The opening marks the end of a years-long battle between the Tribe and government officials over the casino's opening and the types of games it would have. In 2015, an "interim" casino opened in the same area, which closed on Tuesday to coincide with the opening of the new casino on Wednesday.
