Calif. tribes challenging Las Vegas

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2002

California tribes pose a "significant challenge" to Nevada's casino business, The Los Angeles Times reports.

Financing of bigger, new resorts runs in the millions. Gaming deals are being brokered with top casino companies.

According to the paper, California tribal gaming revenue has grown from $1.4 billion to more than $4.3 billion in just two years. The tribes are second only to Nevada's $9.3 billion.

Voters in the state overwhelmingly approved gaming on reservations in 2000.
