After nearly two decades of legal battles, construction on a tribal casino complex adjacent to Highway 99 just north of the California City of Madera is set to kick off soon.
Las Vegas casino and hospitality company Red Rock Resorts confirmed earlier this month that it expects to break ground on the planned gambling venue by the end of June.
It was in May again when the casino operator announced the
sale of its Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas to California-based San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for $650 million.
Red Rock teamed up with the
North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California in 2016. Under the terms of their partnership, the Nevada company would build and manage the North Fork tribal casino in exchange for a 40% management fee on the property’s future net income.
