San Diego County has a new casino. The La Posta Band of Mission Indians opened the venue Jan. 15 on its reservation near Boulevard, east of San Diego along Interstate 8. The casino is small by county standards, with 349 slot machines and 20,000 square feet. It has no table games. The new business employs 90 people. Construction on the $23.5 million casino project began in January 2006, according to Don Bellamy, the casino�s chief operating officer. Bellamy said JP Morgan Chase financed the casino, with the Yavapai-Apache Nation of Arizona acting as guarantor. UIC of Anchorage, Alaska was the general contractor, and the project used local subcontractors.
The La Posta Casino will be a 24-hour operation on weekends.
From Monday to Friday, it will close at 2 a.m. and open at 8 a.m.
The casino is on Crestwood Road, north of Interstate 8, in the vicinity of the Campo tribe�s Golden Acorn Casino.
