Gila River Casino

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.

Stayed here on March 22,2013 in a motorhome. Large paved lot with about 50 parking narrow spots in rear of hotel. With steps out you were over the lines. Some RV's had all slides out taking two and three spots. Lots of semis with their engines running all night. No buffet in casino but had a food court and three restaurants.
