A second Navajo casino is coming to the Flagstaff area after the tribe secured legal authority to build a gaming hall on a 13.79-acre site northeast of the city.
The casino is planned on property that was home to Horsemen Lodge steakhouse since 1975 and the adjacent Flying Heart Stables. The site is outside the city limits on U.S 89, about four miles north of Flagstaff Mall.
In November, the Navajo Nation signed a warranty deed that transfers the land to trust status, meaning it is part of the Navajo Reservation. That gives the tribe the right to build a casino on the property.
