On March 1st, 1991, approval was dated and marked that a Spanish classical style hotel would be built with over 1,000 rooms, including a bar a night club and most of all, a casino. On August 10th, 1992 Mochilla Resort & Casino officially opened to the public exactly at midnight. The guests occupying the hotel on opening night was exactly 99% as the goal was to reach 90% people booking rooms at the Mochilla.

Ownership

Within the same month of the new ownership, Ariso Resorts merged with Hospitality Entertainment creating newer projects for guests with upgraded rooms, more casino slots and more restaurant spaces for guests to enjoy.
