Casinos in Glendale, AZ.

The Tohono O'odham Nation's 1.2 million-square-foot Desert Diamond Casino West Valley opened Feb. 19 after more than two years of construction. It replaced the nearby interim casino, which opened in 2015 and offered slot machines.

Beyond games, Desert Diamond offers 10 options for food and drink, including a buffet, steakhouse and two-story bar in the middle of the action of the 24-hour casino. Expansion plans include a hotel, spa and convention center.

Here's what you'll find at the Desert Diamond Casino West Valley.

Poker, table games, slots

Unlike the interim location, the casino's Class III status, defined as 'full 'Las Vegas style' casino gaming' by the Arizona Department of Gaming, means enthusiasts will find card tables as well as machines.

There are 36 poker tables, 48 blackjack tables, 1,136 slot machines and live bingo.

Evening bingo sessions take place seven days a week, with doors opening at 3:30 p.m. and warm-ups starting at 6 p.m. Buy-ins begin at $20 for paper and $35 for electronic bingo. Payouts range from $250 to $1,000, going up to $10,000 for special games.

Desert Diamond's non-smoking poker room is described as 'Arizona’s newest, most spacious and luxurious poker room with 36 tables and 27 big screen televisions,' according to its website. Patrons can charge their phones at each table and order food and drinks. There also is a complimentary soda fountain.

The Diamond Rewards Club is free to join, offering points that can be used toward free play or purchases of food or gift shop merchandise.

For every $10 played on a slot machine (or $20 for video poker games), members earn one reward point. Every 100 points accumulated equals $1 toward purchases or free play.

There are six tiers of membership. The highest level, the triple diamond tier, includes exclusive benefits for those who amass more than 500,000 points. Those who accrue at least 50,000 points get a personal host, access to the member lounge, priority valet parking and reimbursement for ATM fees.

As for bingo, each Tuesday is Senior Discount Day for those over 55 who present a valid ID and a Diamond Rewards card. The offer is good for $5 off a paper package and $10 off an electronic package.

Everyone can take advantage of bingo promotions on other days of the week. Wednesdays are half-price, and on Saturdays, people whose birthday lands in the current month receive a buy-one-get-one-free deal on an electronic package.

The Fortune Cafe buffet features Asian-inspired dishes such as curry chicken, pad Thai and Vietnamese beef pho as well as dinner entrees such as smoked brisket, grilled salmon and chimichurri flank steak.

The Winners Sports Bar boasts 'Chopped' Season 39 winner Chef Laura Gonzalez-Reyes creations such as wings, burgers and flatbreads.

Those looking for fine dining can visit the Nineteen 86 Steakhouse, which pays tribute to the year the Gila Bend Indian Reservation Lands Replacement Act was signed by President Ronald Reagan and the Nuovo Giorno Italian bistro.

The steakhouse serves dry-aged rib-eye, T-bone and bone-in New York steaks along with salads, seafood and chops. The Italian bistro offers pizza, pasta and risotto as well as entrees such as rib-eye braciola, chicken marsala and veal chop Milanese.

The food court is open 24 hours, serving burgers, hot dogs, wings, pasta, pizza and breakfast foods. A stand selling coffee, pastries and gelato is also open all day.
