Traditionally people go to casinos in part to the glamour and bright lights associated with big time Las Vegas gambling houses, and the latest casino opening in Arizona has its fair share of the glitz, but the real reason so many are attending is the poker being spread. The Desert Diamond Casino Hotel has opened to the public with 20 poker tables available, along with blackjack and slot machines. The rooms boast whirlpools and wet bars as well. The casino opened after a four year construction project that cost $125 million.
