Construction has officially started on Arizona’s fifth Desert Diamond Casino, a venture of the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, located near Loop 303 and Northern Parkway near west Glendale.
The $450 million project, which is about 10 miles from the Desert Diamond Casino-West Valley location, will take about 19 months to complete, officials said. That puts the opening date sometime near the end of 2024 for the first phase.

- 30 table games, including blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat
