TUCSON, Ariz. (August 19, 2025) — The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is proud to announce the official naming of its new property at 1055 West Grant Road as Casino Del Sol.
To distinguish this new property from its flagship Casino Del Sol location on Valencia Road, please reference the new property as:
Casino Del Sol, Vahi Taa’am
Casino Del Sol is the official property name. Vahi Taa’am should be used only as a location descriptor alongside the official name to help maintain clarity and consistency in our communications.
“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.”
“Vahi Taa’am” (pronounced vah-hee tah-ahm) is Yoeme (the language of the Pascua Yaqui people) for Three Suns and is used as a location descriptor, not part of the casino’s formal name.
Example: “The Pascua Yaqui Tribe’s new Casino Del Sol, Vahi Taa’am location, is set to open in early 2027.”
With its prime 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.
