An Arizona first, still one of the best: Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Resort

The first Native American-run casino in Arizona to have a private management partner (the Las Vegas-based giant Caesars Entertainment Corporation), Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Resort is building up its in-state household-name reputation in direct proportion to its Sin City counterpart.

Harrah’s Ak Chin was opened in 1994; Caesars Entertainment was able to open a 148-room hotel within new resort grounds by 2001, while 2003 saw the opening of the bingo hall plus introduction of table games including blackjack.

Located just about 40 miles south of Phoenix, Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Resort today offers slot machine, video poker, blackjack, keno and lots of table games – the impressive list includes Three-card Poker, Let It Ride, Pai Gow, Mississippi Stud and “Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em” in addition to blackjack – on a 40,000 square foot gaming floor. There is also constant action in the bingo hall and the poker room, with games of all monetary levels played most of the day.
