In the mid 70's it was a tent, it use to serve snacks and drinks and had a snack bar, I won my first jackpot in the buckle machines there I was about 21, then they made the building in the 80's, and then in the late 2000's they constructed what you see today, in 2019-2021 during the pandemic they remodeled it to look like a Vegas type casino. It's really nice.
I too was coming back in 2000 when it was tents. Travis answered the question perfectly and correctly!
1983, the original Morongo casino was built. I was coming to morongo when it was tents and a small bingo area with a bowling alley, that was in 2001. The monstrosity that is what is now Morongo opened in 2004. I was there right after they opened up the new part.
Somewhere around the 70s I think
Ground break was 08 May 2003. Casino opened 10 December 2004.
