Following this mission, Laguna Development Corporation has had a remarkable history of successful business ventures since its inception in 1998, when LDC embarked on a journey towards securing a solid future for the Pueblo of Laguna. Starting out in the retail market, LDC quickly moved to gaming, food and beverage, entertainment and hospitality; mastering each over the course of the next ten years. LDC recruited a team of highly skilled executives from across the country to secure a foundation for the next stages of development.

Laguna Development Corporation began managing the Pueblo’s gaming operations with the completion of Dancing Eagle Casino in 2000, shortly after opening the Dancing Eagle Supermarket. Subsequently LDC opened Casino Xpress, a small slot operation located twenty minutes west of downtown Albuquerque. Casino Xpress is part of the Route 66 development, and became the anchor for the current travel center, convenience store, and restaurants that were opened adjacent to the Xpress facility. LDC expanded its gaming operations in 2003 with completion of the Route 66 Casino and has since expanded its existing businesses to accommodate continued growth. Over the years LDC has expanded the retail business adding fuel and conveniences centers along Interstate 40 and on the Pueblo of Laguna.
