The New Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino

Nearly five years ago, the Gila River Indian Community embarked on their plan to build a Las Vegas-caliber hotel and casino adjacent to Chandler, Arizona. This hotel/casino would also replace one of their existing casinos that was built in the mid 90’s.  In October of this year, the Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino held their successful grand opening.

Promising a luxury hotel and casino experience for an affordable price, the Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino features 242 guest rooms and suites with amenities such as flat screen televisions and MP3 players, and boasts eight restaurants, five lounges, extensive pools and water features, a high energy nightclub, several bars, business center, exercise facility, ballroom/meeting space, and 1,400-seat entertainment venue for headlining celebrities like Jay Leno and LeAnn Rimes. In addition, the casino boasts 100,000 square feet of gaming area, including over 1,000 slot machines, a retail shop, 70 table games (including a 25 table poker room), KENO, and VIP lounge.

The strategic approach for building what would eventually become the first of such high-end, Las Vegas-style hotel/casinos in Arizona, was an endeavor that required a unique partnership between TynanGroup and Parsons. The TynanGroup/Parsons team brought distinctive management skills, technical expertise, and industry knowledge. In addition, with an 11 year successful track record of working with Native American communities to develop hotels, casinos, conference centers, spas, and restaurants, TynanGroup/Parsons played a key role in managing the efforts of all involved team members toward the ultimate goal of a timely and economical project completion.

The Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) is dedicated to developing and providing opportunities for their community and has raised the bar for hotels and casinos in Arizona. TynanGroup is proud to have worked with the Gila River Indian Community over the last decade, and has provided project management services for many of their renowned properties, including the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort, Aji Spa, Whirlwind Golf Club and Lone Butte Casino.
