Soboba Band Tribe to Buy Casino in Henderson Nevada
As of July 9, 2007, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians is considering paying $15 million for a small gambling casino in Henderson, Nevada. The Assistant City Attorney for Henderson, Ron Sailon, commented that the Soboba representatives requested a meeting with the city planning officials to discuss the tribe's plans to remodel the old Roadhouse Casino property.
Mr. Robert "Bobby" Salgado, who recently left his post as tribal head after almost 20 years, commented that the Soboba Tribe entered into an escrow agreement on their 8 acre land one month ago and has another month regarding the casino issue.
Soboba Tribe officials are looking at the whole deal as a good opportunity to make an instant profit. Tribal Council member, Rose Salgado, commented that the council has not thrown the possibility of managing their own casino.
Nonetheless, the proposal is not without legal blocks. The state regulations in Nevada state that aside from the casino facility, casino operators must construct a hotel facility. That condition has already caused a legal battle between Hemet real estate broker, John Culton, and the city of Henderson.
The Soboba tribe's real estate agent, Culton, is also the principal officer and the majority owner of Creekside Holdings Inc based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Creekside previously leased the Roadhouse Casino with a choice to acquire it from owner and Henderson resident, Robert McMackin.
Only a small percentage of other Indian tribes have invested in gaming operations outside their own land reservations.
