Apache Sky Casino

Legend has it that somewhere in the hills of San Carlos, Ariz., lays the mysterious lost treasure of the ancient Apache Indians. Today, anyone visiting southwestern Arizona's San Carlos Mountains can find the new Apache Gold at the Apache Gold Casino Resort. Opened in 1996, just inside the borders of the San Carlos Apache Reservation, vacationers can strike gold from approximately 500 slot machines, videos and progressives; live bingo; $50,000 keno; blackjack 21; and a poker room. Featured at the resort is a nearly 150-room Best Western hotel; a cabaret with live nightly entertainment from stand-up comedians or singers; a gift shop that features authentic apache basketry, beadwork and other fine art; a more than 55-space recreational vehicle park with complete hookups including showers, swimming pool, phones and satellite television; a convenience store featuring a line of groceries, snacks and Chevron gasoline; dining options; and an 18-hole championship golf course known as Apache Stronghold, designed by Tom Doak.
