Bye Bye Barstow?
Big Lagoon chairman Virgil Moorehead has said that if the compacts don’t go through, he’ll return to the idea of a casino project at Big Lagoon. “Maybe he’ll build a Class II facility at Big Lagoon, maybe a bingo parlor,” said Barnett. “But that doesn’t rule out Barstow. You can never say never.”
A return to the Big Lagoon site would re-open court dealings with the state. Los Coyotes, meanwhile, intends to pursue a Barstow casino, said spokesman Tom Shields, with or without Big Lagoon. “But they would prefer to work with Big Lagoon,” Shields said. And, he said, there’s no reason the compacts can’t be extended yet again.
