San Luiseno Mission Indians’ Permanent Casino Starts
Harrah’s Entertainment Inc. announced on July 31 that an official groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for the construction of permanent casinos and luxury resort hotels at the Rincon Band of San Luiseno Mission Indians Reservation in Southern California.
Located about 25 miles from San Diego, the $125 million facility will house 45,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 1,500 slot machines, about 30 table games, 200 luxury rooms and suites, and six restaurants.
The project, which will be managed by a wholly owned subsidiary of Harra’s Operating Co. Inc. for the Rincon Band, is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2002.
“We look forward to working with Harrah’s to provide Southern Californians with first-rate resorts that offer excellent service, great accommodation, and a high-quality casino-entertainment experience,” said John Currier, tribal president.
General manager Tom Dingman said the permanent casinos will employ more than 1,000 people. The permanent casinos are being built near temporary casinos, which opened earlier this year under Rincon tribal management.
Founded more than 60 years ago, Harrah’s Entertainment Inc operates 21 casinos in the United States under the Harrah’s, Showboat, Rio and Players brands. 에볼루션 바카라사이트
