PHOENIX — Two more metro Phoenix casinos are set to resume operations on Monday.
Talking Stick Resort and Casino Arizona will reopen at a limited capacity and increased safety measures at noon on Monday.
Both properties, which are owned and operated by Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, have been closed since March because of the coronavirus outbreak.
“We are excited to welcome back not only our loyal guests but also our employees, both of whom have been so patient and supportive throughout this closure,” said Ramon Martinez, director of public relations for the casinos, said in a press release.
“We took great care and the necessary time to implement a phased reopening plan with new protocols that will keep their health and safety top of mind across all facets of our operations.”
