History
The Yavapai–Apache Nation opened the casino after Proposition 201, which allowed natives to run gambling operations in Arizona, was passed in 1995.[2] The hotel opened an arcade in 2015.[3] A new, six-story hotel was opened in February 2018, with the older one being renamed to the Cliff Castle Casino Lodge. It had been in development since January 2016.[4][5] It temporarily closed in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic[6] but reopened in June with restrictions.[7]
