Desert Diamond West Valley Casino tops off steelwork
Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise (TOGE) held a topping off ceremony for the construction of its full-scale Desert Diamond West Valley Casino. The event marks a major milestone in construction as TOGE begins to close out the final sequence of steel for the new casino building.
TOGE broke ground on the permanent, full-scale casino in December 2017 and construction is moving forward aggressively on the $400 million project. Construction of the project is being headed by the AECOM Hunt/Penta Joint Venture as general contractor. Dozens of companies have been retained and 1,500 workers contracted for the project.
Once complete, the full-scale casino will employ approximately 1,600 people. The new facility will feature a 75,000 square-foot casino floor with Class III slot machines, poker and blackjack tables, and live bingo, as well as five dining venues, and other amenities.
