As far as casinos run in Phoenix, this is probably the best one. Maybe because it's also the newest, but still, if you are looking for the Vegas feel without being in Vegas, the Talking Stick is for you. It reminds me a lot of The Palms or The Rio. It's clean (minus the smoke smell everywhere, but whattaya gonna do about that in a casino??) and there's tons of tables, so you don;t have to spend too much time searching for an open place to play blackjack.
