Tribal Casino In Arizona Could Provide Much Needed Employment
Finding a job these days in the US is no easy task. While most people are in the process of losing their jobs, a situation is arising in Arizona that could actually create over 3,000 employment opportunities.
The Tohono O’odham Nation is waiting on federal approval of putting 134 acres of land into trust. Once that is accomplished, the tribe plans on building the largest casino in the state of Arizona.
The tribe estimates that right off the bat when the casino is built there would be 1,400 jobs available. The, as the restaurants in the complex are completed, they would offer around another 1,600 jobs.
These are only the permanent jobs that could be filled if the casino becomes reality. The building of the casino itself would provide temporary employment for over 1,000 construction workers. That could provide a big boost to the struggling economy.
The casino complex has five restaurants planned. On the casino floor there would be over 1,000 casino slot machines to go along with twenty five poker tables and fifty other table games. It would also have a 1,000 seat bingo hall.
With the economy worsening in many areas, casinos are becoming somewhat of a savior. Many states have expanded their gambling laws to allow for casinos and developers have been quick to move into these areas.
