The Pascua Yaqui Tribe and Casino Del Sol officially broke ground on July 12 for an extensive hospitality project, which includes a new 151-room hotel, new 90-space RV park, and an expansion of the current meeting space at Casino Del Sol.
“The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is grateful that 24 years of running tribal enterprises has brought us to a place where we can continue to expand our hospitality offerings,” said Robert Valencia, chairman of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. “These additions will create more jobs and will positively impact our Tribe, its members, and Southern Arizona as a whole.”
A new 90-space RV park near the casino will provide part-time and full-time RVers the opportunity to hook up and enjoy all of Casino Del Sol’s amenities before they head out on the road. The current conference center at Casino Del Sol is also getting a 9,600-square foot expansion with additional break-out meeting rooms to complement the existing convention space.
“The astounding support we have received from the community and our guests has led to us evolve the Casino Del Sol brand to include these additional amenities for families and RVers,” said Kimberly Van Amburg, CEO of Casino Del Sol. “This project will allow us to meet the increased demand of our customers and to better serve our meeting and convention clientele.”
Hotel construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019.
