COACHELLA, CA – Spotlight 29 casino in Coachella celebrated its grand re-opening
and $52 million expansion yesterday. The expansion added 150,000 square feet
including $34 million to add a new 23,000-square-foot casino floor area and $18
million to build a four-level parking structure.
The casino added 36 table games, an eight-bay virtual roulette wheel and a high
limit slot area. The poker room was expanded and modernized and a new lounge now
serves platinum members.
The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians Tribal Chairman, Darrell Mike,
said “It was a bold move because of these current economic times. But we decided
to go through with the expansion. We couldn't not finish it. It was important to
us to create a whole new look.”
Mike said the tribe is also hoping to build a hotel in the next three years.
