San Carlos Apache Nation: Ground broken for Pinal County casino
By Kevin Reagan | Casa Grande Dispatch
The San Carlos Apache Nation hopes to open its Apache Sky Casino located near Dudleyville on a 170-acre site on the southern end of its reservation in Arizona by mid-January 2017 at the latest. The small village of Dudleyville, with stage stop, mercantile and post office, farms, ranches, and prospectors, was a small regional center for two and a half decades. The village was eclipsed by the new town site of Winkleman, a mile north near the mouth of the San Pedro River on the Gila River, with the opening of the Phoenix & Eastern.
Ground has been broken for a new tribal casino in Pinal County, Apache Sky.

The 170-acre site, located near Dudleyville, is on the southern tip of the San Carlos Apache Nation and part of the tribe's ongoing casino project. The facility will initially consist of temporary structures to house about 15,000 square feet of casino gaming. Eventually, a permanent complex will be built that mimics the nation's existing casino, Apache Gold Casino Resort near Globe.
