Talking Stick Resort

Talking Stick Resort is the premier gaming and entertainment resort in the Scottsdale market, a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community property in North Scottsdale that combines a full-scale casino with two championship golf courses, a large spa, multiple restaurants, and one of the most competitive meeting and event infrastructures in the Arizona market at a rate structure that regularly undercuts non-gaming luxury competitors. For planners whose groups are open to or actively interested in a gaming component, Talking Stick offers a value proposition that is genuinely difficult to match in the Scottsdale corridor, and the property's ongoing investment in product quality has closed the gap significantly with the traditional luxury resort tier. The combination of entertainment options, meeting space, and gaming revenue-driven rate flexibility makes it a compelling option for large corporate programs and association events that need to stretch budget without sacrificing amenity access.
