| - The first time I came to Arizona (Easter 2003) to visit family, we decided we have got to go gambling, since it was the desert and all. I was only 18, and this was all new to me. So I ended up going to Casino Arizona twice that trip.
9 years later...
I come back in town, and I saw a building that looked creepishly familiar... And this time it was only 10 minutes from where I was staying! Could this be true?
This place is a pretty big stand-alone casino. It's actually fairly pretty on the outside...
Parking is plentiful and it shows- I could only imagine how many people this place holds!
They have 2 entrances, and a few restaurants. But lets be honest, I was only interested in Wheel Of Fortune (my gambling weakness). This place is filled with smoke and geriatrics, and I love it, because I am here to win money, not pick up people as old as my grandmother. If you want a younger crowd, go up 101N to the resort @ Talking Stick, where there is the younger crowd.
I came here on multiple occasions, and I found the best success Sunday Morning @ 9AM. Fri and Sat nights get crowded from 7-10 so plan accordingly if you want to play a certain machine- this place gets FILLED!
Although I always leave empty handed (damn you cash advances!), I always enjoy myself- and my buddy won a few hundred bucks so at least someone got on top!
This place has a sentimental value and as long as this place is around, I really don't see a need to head to Vegas- or maybe I have lost my mind?
This place even has dance bars, bars, high roller, and non-smoker rooms too.
