50-acre Barstow site is part of larger several hundred acre commercial mega resort plan Ilitch envisions for the Mohave Desert community. Ilitch controlled Barwest would have the exclusive rights, free of future competition, to develop the only two casinos and all encompassing resorts in California's 'High Desert' area from the Cajon Pass Summit north to the Nevada stateline.
Proposed Dual Indian Casinos and Resorts
Barstow, CA
*Map included in 9/06 EIS/TEIR Scoping Report
Barwest owns multiple parcels totalling 110+ acres; 48-50 acres set aside for dual casino resort developments. The Barwest owned land is adjacent to hundreds of acres managed by the Bureau of Land Managment (BLM). BLM has been approached about land swap acquisition of the adjacent lands; presumably part of the larger master resort development plans by Barwest and other commercial developers. Neither Big Lagoon or Los Coyotes Indian tribes own or control any land in Barstow today.
