Vee Quiva is the Gila River Indian Community's property at Laveen, on the south-west side of the Phoenix metro. It rates 4.2 from more than 15,000 Google reviewers.
It is the smallest of the community's four hotels and the one that has been most carefully designed — a boutique property rather than a scaled-down resort.
What's on the floor
More than 1,300 slot machines, including themed games like Phoenix Link and Crapless Craps alongside penny games and traditional reels.
The live table list is broader than most: Blackjack, Bahama Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Mini Baccarat. Bahama Blackjack in particular is an uncommon variant and one of the few reasons to choose this floor over its larger siblings.
The poker room carries 16 tables and is open all night, every night — a genuinely useful thing in a metro where several rooms close overnight. It is a plush room with dozens of televisions and eight large-screen HDTVs.
There is a separate electronic table games area with electronic roulette, electronic craps and video poker, and a bingo hall on the premises — the only one among the community's four casinos.
Between the bingo hall, the all-night poker and the wider table list, Vee Quiva packs more distinct kinds of gaming into a small building than any of its siblings — which is the trade for having the smallest floor of the four.
The hotel
The hotel is a three-storey, 90-room boutique property with a AAA Four Diamond award, which is a strong rating for a hotel this small. It carries a 24-hour fitness centre, an outdoor pool and hot tub, complimentary Wi-Fi and valet parking.
The detail worth knowing: several rooms are sports-themed, celebrating the Arizona Cardinals, the Arizona Coyotes and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ask when booking if that appeals — or if it very much does not.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble. That comes from Arizona's tribal-state gaming compacts and applies at every tribal casino in the state.
The casino is open 24 hours, seven days a week, and so is the poker room.
Laveen sits south-west of downtown Phoenix, which makes Vee Quiva the closest community property for the west and south-west valley — the reason it exists, given the other three sit east in Chandler.
With only 90 rooms the hotel is small. Book ahead for busy weekends.
Nearby alternatives
East in Chandler, Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino is the community's largest resort with 242 rooms and a 1,400-seat showroom, Lone Butte Casino has a 30-table poker room, and Santan Mountain Casino is the newest floor with Arizona's largest sportsbook.
