History[edit]
Prior to opening as Talking Stick Resort, the land was the location of Casino Arizona101 & Talking Stick Way. It opened in 1999 with 332 slot machines and 45 table games. In 2003 the property was expanded to include blackjack, poker, keno and a sports bar.
In September 2006, ground was broken at the future site of Talking Stick Resort. Phoenix-based company, Chanen Construction Company, Inc. led the construction of the project.[5]
Casino Arizona 101 & Indian Bend remained opened throughout construction until the resort’s opening. The temporary structure that housed Casino Arizona was then auctioned as were the majority of its contents.
On April 15, 2010, Talking Stick Resort opened on the former site of Casino Arizona at 101 and Talking Stick Way. An official grand opening took place on June 10.
On August 11, 2018, a massive monsoon storm flooded Talking Stick Resort Casino's generator, backup generator, and portions of the hotel and casino, forcing all guests to be immediately evacuated. It remained entirely closed while massive cleanup and power restoration efforts took place. The resort re-opened over a month later on September 24, 2018. [6]
Hotel[edit]
The hotel houses 496 deluxe rooms with 15 luxury suites and 30 executive king suites. The architectural design of Talking Stick Resort mirrors the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community through the use of native stones, plants and earth-tone color schemes.

Shows[edit]
Prior to the opening of Talking Stick Resort, Casino Arizona 101 & Talking Stick Way was the first gaming facility to produce and televise its own sports show titled, “We’ve Got Your Game.”[9] The show went on to air more than 200 episodes and featured such sports figures as Troy Aikman, Amar'e Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Kyle Petty, Mike Tyson and Mike Ditka.Since 2011, Talking Stick Resort has been the host of Phoenix Fashion Week.[10][11]

Other nearby attractions include Talking Stick Resort Golf Club, the Pavilions at Talking Stick Resort, Butterfly Wonderland, and Major League Baseball's newest spring training complex, Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, which opened in 2011 and is the spring base of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies.[13]On December 2, 2014, the venue purchased the naming rights of the former U.S. Airways Center and re-branded it as the Talking Stick Resort Arena in 2015.

One of the many roving security guards led us to the paved lot for RVs. We were there Christmas Day. Although the casino was packed with gamblers inside, there was only one other RV in the designated lot. After we parked, we were instructed to go to the East entrance of the Casino and immediately inside the automated doors is the Security Desk/Lost and Found. We filled out a short form to include vehicle license number. We then went to the Player Rewards Club desk and got a card. We did not use it for gambling but the $4.25 on the card could be used for food or gifts. I used my 'money' for a free Cranberry-Orange muffin. Yumm-O, No hookups, no charge.

Parking is still in the same lot as in Boni P.'s directions although there are now signs and you are required to register at the casino. Security will give you a list of rules and a paper to display on your windshield.
This is the policy - Three days only per RV. If you are a players club member you can extend your stay for more than three days after earning 1500 points. If you are actively playing in the poker room you can extend your stay also. You must leave and return after you have stayed 6 days and 6 nights for 24 hours to stay an additional 3 days.
We went into the casino but didn't stay long because it was a Friday night and very crowded and smoky. Mostly table games with a large poker area. This is still the old casino with prefabbed tent type structures. The new one is in under construction.
