| - While the gambling floor of Casino Arizona itself doesn't seem as nice as say, Talking Stick Resort, they do have some good talent that they bring in to their showroom. Oftentimes they will be cover/tribute bands, or bands/acts that were popular decades back. We went here to see Queen Nation, which was probably the closest you'll get to seeing a live Queen concert done well. The singers were awesome and the lead singer really sounded and had the moves like Freddie Mercury. We were initially seated in the front row, and we thought, oh nice! But then, we realized we were sitting right in front of the huge speakers/amplifiers! This had two implications. 1. Our ears might potentially bleed from the decibels generated by the speaker system (I've had the displeasure of sitting right in front of a speaker system at a concert, something I never want to do again!) 2. We can't see much because the speakers are blocking our view of most of the stage. Luckily, the seating here isn't reserved (Despite having seat numbers on your ticket), so after explaining our situation to the check in attendant, she was gracious enough to move us to another location, apologizing for the initial seating arrangement.
The show was packed, so service was a bit spotty, which was fine with us since we didn't really need anything to drink. They offer your standard alcoholic beverages, as well as a few specialty cocktails on their drink menu.
The tickets were relatively inexpensive ($10+ service charge, total was under $35 for 2), so it was a good way to spend a Saturday night!
