TUCSON, AZ – The Pascua Yaqui Tribe has named its new property at 1055 West Grant Road as Casino Del Sol Vahi Taa’am to distinguish it from its flagship Casino Del Sol location on Valencia Road. Casino Del Sol is the official property name, however, Vahi Taa’am will be used as a location descriptor alongside the official name to help maintain clarity and consistency in communications. Vahi Taa’am (pronounced vah-hee tah-ahm) is Yoeme (the language of the Pascua Yaqui people) for “Three Suns.”
“Choosing Vahi Taa’am reflects the culture, language, and vision of the tribe,” said Amanda Lomayesva, Interim CEO of Casino Del Sol. “It symbolizes light and speaks to a bright future for our team members, guests, and the greater Tucson community.”
With its location off Interstate 10, the property will add to the tribe and Southern Arizona’s economic footprint with 500 new jobs while providing a new hub for entertainment and hospitality.
