About Twin Arrows Casino Resort

Twin Arrows Casino Resort opened in 2012 and operates as the Navajo Nation’s flagship gaming property along Interstate 40 east of Flagstaff. The resort sits at 22181 Resort Boulevard, well outside the Flagstaff city core, which lets it work as a true destination casino rather than a city-edge gaming venue. The combination of resort lodging, a full table-game pit, and high-altitude northern-Arizona setting makes it distinct from the slot-heavy properties found closer to Phoenix.

The gaming floor carries 1,100 slot machines and 12 table games, with a games list that runs deeper than most Arizona properties: blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, High Card Flush, Players Edge 21, WPT Heads-Up Hold’em, plus a bingo section. The minimum gambling age is 21 and the property is regulated by the Arizona Department of Gaming under the tribal-state compact.

Gaming Floor

Twin Arrows runs one of the more substantial gaming floors in northern Arizona, with 1,100 slot machines and a 12-table pit. The slot side mixes the usual reel-and-video themes across penny-to-high-denomination machines. The table side is where Twin Arrows separates itself from most regional properties: a games list that includes specialty carnival-style games alongside the standard blackjack pit.

High Card Flush is the standout specialty pit game: players try to make the longest same-suit run from their seven cards, with bonus payouts for premium flushes.

Pai Gow Poker sits on the pit as the slower-paced split-hand format, with Players Edge 21 and WPT Heads-Up Hold’em rounding out the alternate-blackjack and heads-up poker options.

Bingo is offered as a separate gaming section. Specific minimums and the daily lineup of open games vary, so visitors planning a session around a specific game should call the property before arrival to confirm it is spread that day.

Resort Amenities

Twin Arrows is built as a full resort rather than a slot-floor add-on. The on-site hotel anchors the property, with a bar, restaurants, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and retail shops rounding out the amenity stack. Both valet and self-parking are available, which is useful for snowy winter days when the high-elevation Flagstaff weather makes the walk from outer lots more of a commitment.

The amenity scale puts Twin Arrows in the upper tier of Arizona casino resorts, particularly among the properties accessible from northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon corridor. The integrated lodging makes it a natural overnight stop for travelers driving Interstate 40 between Albuquerque and the West Coast.

Location & Access

Twin Arrows Casino Resort is at 22181 Resort Boulevard in the Flagstaff area, approximately 20 miles east of downtown Flagstaff along Interstate 40. The location is the property’s most strategic feature: I-40 traffic between Flagstaff, Winslow, and points east passes the exit, and the resort is the only large casino directly on that corridor.

For Phoenix-area visitors, the drive is approximately 150 miles north on I-17 then east on I-40. The Flagstaff elevation (around 7,000 feet) means winter snow is normal here, unlike most of Arizona’s casino market which stays warm year-round. Plan winter trips with the weather in mind, and consider the on-site hotel rather than driving back to lower elevations after a late session.

How Twin Arrows Casino Resort compares locally

Navajo Nation Context

Twin Arrows Casino Resort is owned and operated by the Navajo Nation, the largest federally recognized Native American tribe in the United States by land area. The Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise runs the property as part of a portfolio of tribal gaming operations across the Navajo reservation in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Twin Arrows is the Navajo Nation’s largest Arizona casino property.

Gaming runs under a compact between the Navajo Nation and the State of Arizona, authorized by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. The Arizona Department of Gaming provides state-side oversight. Gaming revenue supports Navajo Nation government operations, community programs, and economic development for enrolled tribal members.

Visiting Twin Arrows

Twin Arrows suits two distinct visitor types. The first is the destination guest, treating the property as a weekend stay with gaming, dining, and pool time built around the on-site hotel. The second is the I-40 traveler, breaking up a long drive with a slot session and an overnight before continuing east or west. The amenity stack and the freeway-adjacent location support both formats, which is rare for an Arizona property.
