Construction officially began in 2024, with a reported $725 million price tag. A federal judge in Fresno has refused to grant Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians an order that would have forced North Fork Mono Casino to pause operations. This will leave the new Madera property open while the dispute moves towards the Ninth Circuit.

On the other hand, I also saw a monument to progress.
