The casino at the Table Mountain Rancheria is operated by the Monache tribe and Chukchansi band of Yokuts. Officials estimated in 2018 that the new facilities would add a thousand jobs, increasing employment at Table Mountain to almost 1,454 positions.
The current casino that now sits right next to the new casino will have its old facilities of 72,000 square footage converted into tribal governmental uses such as administrative offices or tribal services. Sonja Dosti, the county’s public information officer, said those upgrades should be completed by November. Four women were caught on video in a wild clash at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel and casino Saturday that included one combatant brandishing a high-heeled flip-flop. Required roadwork and traffic signals leading into the new casino remain unfinished, according to Fresno County officials. Tribal leaders declined to answer questions from GV Wire about the status of the new complex.
The project is slated for completion this year, based on original estimates, but Table Mountain Rancheria leaders are being tight-lipped about a planned opening date. “We want to build a facility that will sustain us for generations to come,” said Dan Casas, the tribe’s legal counsel, in 2018. An artist’s rendering of what the new casino will look like was shared alongside the environmental report provided by the Table Mountain Rancheria.
