Gila River Casino

its great when casinos keep trucks and rvs seperate. thats the only problem here and you have to expect a truck idles all night long. id stay at any other casino around phoenix, there are many and a much better experience for someone in a rv.

This place is just ok. RVs and trucks must park in a specific area which is paved, level, and well-lit. Spaces are marked and very narrow which is routine for truckers but RVers will find this to be close (very close) and uncomfortable especially if you are next to a truck idling all night. The casino is clean, very well-ventilated, one of the few that we've not left the building reeking of smoke. There is no buffet but we had two good meals: one in the food court, the other in one of the restaurants. Food service staff seem a bit bumbling and unsure of themselves. My conclusion: Management pictures this as an upscale place that merely tolerates RVs and trucks. Next time in the Phoenix area we will probably try the Talking Stick or another casino.

New name is Gila River Casino. Numerous signs say No truck or RV parking. I called them and was told that to park an RV, it has to take up no more than 2 car spaces. They have many acres of empty parking spaces, but just don't want large RV's there, not even just during the day while losing a ton of money gambling. So I went to Gila's other location 3 miles to the east, known as Lone Butte, where they allows RV's to park for 24 hours.
