Navajo community in Arizona eager to host casino


A Navajo Nation community in Arizona has authorized a study of a casino that would be located near a major interstate.

The Leupp chapter is proposing a 600-slot machine casino near I-40. Leupp is about 50 miles outside of Flagstaff.

Local leaders say their location is ideal for one of five casinos recently authorized by the Navajo Nation Council. A previously authorized casino is in the works off of I-40 near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
