The casino is nice and luxurious, with plenty of room between machines and table games. the slots felt tight. The hotel is beautiful and clean, with a great staff and is a good place for a pampering stay. food is good and the bar service is friendly. food is okay. customer service at the Player Rewards center could be better. staff is approachable and accommodating. the casino is non-smoking, which i appreciate.

We're not casino people, but I got the wagering bug to bet on the ole Alma Mater's football game.
Took ASU and the spread and won.... Lost on the over, but was so close....

Next, the two teams I basically hate are Ohio State and N.D., but this was strictly greed on my part, so I took Ohio State and the over.... The Buckeye fans are calling for the coach's head cause he can't beat Michigan...(ain't that great)? Hopefully, the national championship will keep them at bay...in any case...with the time left, he could have had the team do the victory formation and basically be assured that the championship was won ... I don't know how many of us there were, but I would be asking for his head too if he hadn't kicked the field goal, not only to win by double digits and pure luck, but most importantly, to cover the over....
We were able to rest easy but not without drama to the bitter end .

Okay, so about the betting area... It's fine, fun, and friendly...and the staff is very helpful to insure you're getting the bet you actually want...

So, until Autumn...I decided for one last wager... Superbowl;
took KC and the spread, the Over, and just for good measure, KC on the coin toss.
We'll see how I do.....
Anyway, the casino is very friendly, as well as the staff. Parking is not a problem as they have carts coming around all the time to take you to the door....and from the door to your car.
So if you're a casino person, definitely check them out, and I think you're gonna be totally satisfied ... as for losing... can't help you there unfortunately.....

The review didn't mention Ocean Trail restaurant. It simply lists Talking Stick Resort which is the umbrella for many different venues. In our case we are simply interested in the ocean trail restaurant because of its very special Cajun cuisine. We didn't have to go to New Orleans for the Super Bowl because we could enjoy Cajun cuisine at this great little spot within the resort. It's not that frequent when you find Cajun cuisine in the Phoenix area. I'm sure there are other restaurants out there. However, we enjoy the easy style of service with a bar you can sit at and watch your food being prepared. The server will ask you what flavor temperature you want your food prepared to. For the inexperienced Cajun diner beware five on a scale of 10 will have smoke coming out of your ears. However, we sat next to an experienced Louisiana Texan Cajun food aficionado who ordered his temperature a six. He loved it of course. We ordered our plates at a temp. Of 5 and needed to have them lightened up a bit. Which by the way the cooks who are right in front of you were more than happy to oblige.. when we travel to Scottsdale this is one of our regular stops. If you try it my guess is you will become a regular as well.

Nice casino and pools but no attention to actual comfort in the room. It’s as if they only want you in the casino. There’s no black out curtains so the room is super bright all day so sleeping in past sunrise is hard without an eye mask. It’s even bright at night due to all the casino lights. There isn’t an actual comforter to sleep with either, just a really hard thin sheet. Oh and there was also a nonstop beeping noise outside of my room. I called about it multiple times but it was never resolved. I couldn’t sleep. Was really hoping to relax this stay. I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re coming to gamble.

Talking Stick seems to be one of the better resorts in the area. Located conveniently in Scottsdale right off the highway. The casino itself was nothing to write home about, pretty average. The staff were very friendly and the facilities were kept clean and tidy. Definitely one of the better casino resorts in the area.

Ive been to the casino about 3-4 times. The floor is great. I went last Thursday though and everyone seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. The dealers were unreasonably rude and raising their voices at me. If you want a great casino with great customer service, you’re better off going to Wild horse pass. Not a mean person in that facility.

Stopped for a casino visit only. The parking garage was pretty full on a Friday evening. We enjoyed some slots machines for nearly two hours. With three people none of us in different areas were ever approached to get a drink. I sat at the same machine for over an hour and 15 minutes and never saw a waitress. I did have a decent return on my investment.
