Sightseeing

This is the original property where Frank Lloyd Wright brought his students for instruction. Try to schedule a 3-hour tour for maximum content, however avoid the heat of the day during the summer!

Drinks & Nightlife

The bar at the Valley Ho is a hoot! All very retro looking. The huge lobby fireplace and seating is great for intimate discussion as well as for large groups to gather. Best to valet park.

Everything Else

This is the closest Casino in the Phoenix Valley to our home. It's principally slot machine play but an OK environment. It's not Las Vegas, mind you, but a nice place to hang for a while.
