Fodor's Expert Review Hon-Dah Resort Casino and Conference Center

777 AZ 260, Pinetop, Arizona, 85935, USA

Stuffed high-country animals atop a mountain of boulders welcome you to Hon-Dah, operated by the White Mountain Apache Tribe (the name means "Welcome to my home" in Apache). The main draw is the casino, with hundreds of slot machines, live poker and blackjack, and live entertainment on weekends. Large guest rooms all have coffeemakers and wet bars, and offer comfortable but not luxurious accommodations. A high-roofed atrium holds the pool and hot tub. The Indian Pine Restaurant serves three meals daily, and a small gift shop sells local Apache crafts.

  • best destination for travelers who aren't interested in roughing it
  • big draw for the casino crowd
  • employees are locals who take pride in their community

CONS

  • can get noisy in the evening
  • the term "resort" can be misleading
  • spartan furnishings
