The current casino will close at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The new, bigger casino will be able to hold about 10,000 people.

This will give northwest Valley residents a chance to play table games closer to home. The only other West Valley casino is Vee Quiva, near 51st Avenue on the Gila River Indian Reservation.
The Tohono O'odham Nation's new Desert Diamond Casino will include:
- More than 1,100 slot machines.
- 380 bingo seats.
- 36 poker-style tables.
- 48 blackjack-style tables.
- A massive bar with a second-story mezzanine overlooking the casino floor.
- A food court.
- A steakhouse.
- A sports bar.
- An Italian restaurant.
Plans for a resort, convention center
The tribe plans to start work on a full-service resort, convention space and possibly a concert venue on the site, but there is no construction timeline yet.
Once that phase is finished, the project's total footprint would be about 2.3 million square feet.
It's not yet clear what will happen to the existing casino, which was originally designed to be a warehouse. Casino staff use an off-site warehouse, so the existing building may be converted to an events center.
