This is it! The last Wednesday of the year, and, the last of a series of articles on Arizona tribal Hotel-Casinos.
For the culmination of the last four weeks, we decided to get out of town and head for Prescott, Arizona, less than 2 1/2 hours northwest of Phoenix. (more…)
We’re coming down to the last two Wacky Casino Wednesday’s featuring casinos with hotels here in Arizona.
This week we’re featuring the only casino/hotel in southern Arizona.
From a tent containing a bingo hall established in1984 to a $120 million hotel- casino, the Tohono O’odham nation completed its newest casino project in 2007 including its first hotel.
The quite new Desert Diamond Casino
Located adjacent to the Tucson International Airport, Desert Diamond Casino & Hotel is owned and operated by the Tohono O’odham Nation, the second largest tribal area in Arizona. Another Desert Diamond Casino without a hotel property is located I-19 & Pima Mine Rd., approximately 10 miles south.
The 323,000-square-foot casino-hotel is located at 7350 S. Nogales Highway. A 149 room hotel is connected to the 165,000 sq. ft. casino by an 8,000 sq. ft. conference center.
The casino complex boasts over 1000 slot machines
** Note: Smoke Alert!!! After visiting several casinos over the last few weeks, all which allow smoking on the gaming floor, my opinion is that The Desert Diamond Casino ventilation system is not as adequate as the previous properties we have reviewed.
