Architectural and interior design firm Steelman Partners and The PENTA Building Group are appointed to design and construct the Santan Mountain casino.

Steelman Partners officials stated: “The comfort of Gila River’s guests is a top priority. Whether a guest is playing the slots during the day or playing at a high-energy, live table at night, Santan Mountain design elements will provide a striking, serene backdrop for memorable entertainment.”

The project is expected to create 650 new jobs. The construction works are expected to be completed in 18 to 24 months.

Later this year, Gila River is also planning to open a $143m expansion project at Wild Horse Pass.

This will add 205 guest rooms, two pools, new meeting space, a rooftop restaurant as well as lounge to the Chandler property.
