"The wait is almost over," Casino Del Sol said in a social media post. "Here's your first look inside Casino Del Sol, Vahi Taa'am. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create an unforgettable experience, and this is just the beginning. Opening November 15. Stay tuned for more exclusive sneak peeks."
The new property, located at 1055 W. Grant Road near Interstate 10, is the Pascua Yaqui Tribe's third gaming property and represents one of the largest entertainment developments in Tucson in recent years. The 163,000-square-foot destination is expected to create approximately 500 new jobs in Southern Arizona.
The casino's name, Vahi Taa'am (pronounced vah-hee tah-ahm), means "Three Suns" in Yoeme, the language of the Pascua Yaqui people. Tribal leaders have said the name symbolizes a bright future for the community while honoring the Tribe's culture and heritage.
