Desert Diamond Casinos are owned and operated by the Tohono Oʼodham Nation within the borders of the U.S. state of Arizona.

Desert Diamond Casinos currently operates in four locations in Arizona: Tucson, Sahuarita, Why, and West Valley (Glendale).

While trying to construct the West Valley location, the Tohono O’odham Nation came into conflict with the government of Arizona.

The casino instead offers bingo-style slot machines but no card tables and no state license to serve alcohol.

Surrounding city officials from Glendale, Peoria, Buckeye, Tolleson, Surprise, and El Mirage also took part in the groundbreaking ceremony.
