Southern California’s San Manuel Indian Tribe is one of three Native American groups currently operating a Las Vegas casino. By the end of the year, San Manuel will be a party of one.
The tribe, through its San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority, has operated the off-Strip Palms Casino Resort for more than two years.
On Wednesday, Hard Rock International, which is owned by Florida’s Seminole Indian Tribe, closed The Mirage Wednesday ahead of a nearly three-year renovation that will transform the Strip resort into Hard Rock Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Connecticut’s Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment will be replaced as the casino operator for Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in December.
