FEBRUARY 5, 2001

From ground breaking to grand opening, it will have taken the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla of California just 10 months to open their new casino.

The tribe announced its plans to build the casino in March, the same month voters in the state overwhelmingly approved Proposition 1A allowing for expanded gaming by tribes. Helping spur the quick development was a May 15 deadline to have its 1,000 slot machines up and running or risk losing its slot licenses.
