History
Spotlight 29 Casino opened its doors in 1995 to the public under the right of the National Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, allowing Native American Tribes to operate Casinos. In 2001, the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians teamed with Donald Trump and Spotlight 29 Casino became Trump 29 Casino. In 2006, the relationship with Donald Trump ended, and the casino returned to its original name, after which many renovations were completed including a new 1,200 vehicle parking structure and an expansion of nearly 150,000 square feet, updating Spotlight 29 Casino to include nearly 250,000 square feet for gaming, offices, meetings and conferences, dining and entertainment.[4]
