Barstow, a small town in San Bernardino County, Calif. known primarily for being on the way to Las Vegas, may be getting its own casino with two tribes vying to open a gaming property along Interstate-15 (I-15).

Efforts to open a casino in Barstow, which is situated along historic Route 66, have moved in fits and starts over the years and there is brewing competition between the Chemehuevi Tribe and the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians to bring a gaming venue to a 40-acre property along Lenwood Drive.
