While it's still possible to view the casino as a new jewel in the area's casino scene, a diverse spectrum of opinions has emerged as visitors explore the property's offerings. With a significant investment of $180 million and a construction timespan of 18 months, the casino's opening has been called a notable milestone following the updated tribal gaming compact that opened avenues for new possibilities in the realm of gaming and entertainment.
However, as patrons explore the newly opened Phoenix establishment, early reviews paint a mixed portrait of Gila Santan Mountain Casino's opening months. The new land-based casino came complete with an expansive casino sportsbook, 813 slot machines, an array of table games, and a full-service specialty restaurant.
The grand unveiling of Gila River Santan Mountain Casino on June 30 promised an exciting addition to the East Valley entertainment scene.
