HIGH STAKES IN THE HIGH DESERT
In addition to exploring natural wonders such as the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam during trips to the U.S. Southwest, travelers have plenty
of things to enjoy at resort destinations that specialize in gaming. Here is a look at five NTA-member properties in Arizona and southern Nevada:
Desert Diamond Casino Hotel
Cliff Castle
Casino Hotel
Camp Verde, Arizona

Casino Hotel
Tucson, Arizona

Hotel & Casino
Las Vegas

Arizona’s Verde Valley
area, which includes
Sedona, will gain a new
six-story hotel when
Cliff Castle completes
its current building
project. The luxurious
accommodations will
add to the gaming,
entertainment and dining
options groups can
experience during a visit
to the resort. This southern Arizona
gaming destination offers
a number of benefits
and perks for groups
heading to Tucson. The
property’s extensive
renovation project, which
will transform guest
rooms and update many
of its public spaces, is
scheduled to be finalized
at the end of 2017. Set along historical
Fremont Street, the Four
Queens blends a vintage
feel of early Las Vegas
with high-end amenities
and state-of-the-art
facilities. The hotel,
which celebrated its 50th
anniversary in 2016,
has nearly 700 recently
updated rooms and an
expansive, remodeled
casino floor.
