Phil,
I live at the 101 and Thunderbird. Five miles from Casino AZ at Indian Bend. It has the best poker room and I have seen far more winners at the slots there than any of the casino in the valley. They also have blackjack at all the casinos. Harrah's is too far to travel, Fort McDowell is a good 25 minutes from where you will be. Gila River is also about 40 minutes from where you will be. There are more slots at the McKellips Casino AZ casino than at Indian Bend. Tournaments at Casino Az are $60 on Mon, Thur, and Fri (11AM)and $120 on Tues and Wed nites (7PM). Email me for any other questions.
