This is one of the best casinos in the Valley for the gambling experience and entertainment. With a huge gambling area, it’s almost impossible to play all the games available. In terms of entertainment, the Fort hosts some of the best stage shows and touring groups that come to Arizona. Also available are keno and bingo areas, with the bingo hall having non-smoking and smoking sections. When you get hungry, The Red Rock Buffet is all-you-can-eat, or perhaps Asian fare at Noodles Sushiya, with traditional favorites or sushi.
