Casino del Sol is the Pascua Yaqui Tribe's flagship and the best-regarded casino in southern Arizona. It rates 4.3 from more than 15,000 Google reviewers, and readers of the Tucson Weekly have voted it the city's best casino four years running.
It sits about twelve miles from downtown Tucson on Valencia Road, and it is a full resort — hotel, golf course, conference centre and an RV park — rather than a gaming floor with a restaurant.
What's on the floor
More than 1,300 slot machines, 20 table games and a 10-table poker room, plus a high-limit room and a sportsbook.
The bingo hall is the thing worth travelling for. It is one of the largest in the Southwest, and bingo has been steadily disappearing from Arizona floors — several Phoenix-area properties have dropped it entirely. If bingo is your game, this is among the strongest rooms in the state.
The table count is modest next to the Phoenix properties, so if you are making the drive specifically for a particular table game, check the venue's site for the current schedule first.
The resort side
The hotel holds a AAA Four Diamond rating. Sewailo Golf Course is on the property and is consistently rated among the better courses in southern Arizona. There is a conference centre and, unusually, an RV park — which suits the winter visitors who make up a good share of Tucson's seasonal traffic.
Dining runs to 18 restaurants and bars across the property, which is a genuinely large number for a casino this size and means you are not stuck with a buffet and a steakhouse.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble. Arizona's tribal-state compacts set 21 as the minimum age at every tribal casino in the state, and it is checked at entry.
The casino is open 24 hours. Tucson's casino traffic is heavily seasonal — winter visitors swell the floor from roughly November through March, and summer weekday afternoons are close to empty.
Sewailo and the hotel book up around big Tucson event weekends, so plan ahead if the golf is part of the trip.
Nearby alternatives
The same tribe operates Casino of the Sun nearby, which is the older and more compact property — slots-led, without the resort layer. The Tohono O'odham Nation runs Desert Diamond Casino Tucson in the city and Desert Diamond Casino Sahuarita to the south, both of which are worth a look if you want a second floor on the same trip.
