As the slogan “It’s your diamond choose your setting” so cleverly suggests, guests have three locations at which to win big-Tucson, Sahuarita, and Why. While not as highly acclaimed as Casino Del Sol, Desert Diamond offers many of the same amenities with a slightly different spin. If entertainment is a top priority, plan your next concert at AVA Amphitheatre or peruse the resort’s event schedule for live music in the bar and lounge. Reserve one of 215 rooms and celebrate your winnings in style knowing it’s the only casino resort in Arizona to win the prestigious Forbes Four Star Award. Lose your shirt gambling? Well then you’re already in an ideal state to lie down and unwind with a hot stone massage from Hiapsi Spa.
The resort boasts live blackjack, bingo, and poker, nearly 1,000 slot machines, and plenty of restaurants to appease the whole party from PY Steakhouse to Mexican cuisine. This desert gem currently stands as the highest rated among its competitors and for good reason. Before you make that ATM withdrawal, here’s what you should know about Tucson casinos.
With local casinos offering Vegas style amenities and comps, there’s plenty of fun to be had without having to endure TSA or a seven hour road trip. While Tucson residents have the benefit of proximity, a weekend trip to Sin City isn’t always, ahem, in the cards. When it comes to gambling hot spots, there are essentially two options: Las Vegas and everywhere else.
