Navajo Nation community approves sale of alcohol at new casino


Members of the Navajo Nation who live in the Upper Fruitland Chapter voted to approve alcohol at a planned casino.

Alcohol will be restricted to the restaurant at the $80 million facility in New Mexico. No liquor will be allowed on the gaming floor or in other areas of the casino.

"The more that's generated, we might be able to get a piece of it, and it might be equal to or better than the tribal allocation," Chapter President Leroy Lee told The Farmington Daily Times of the rationale for supporting alcohol sales.

The casino is expected to open in October 2010.
