Like most other area casinos, the Desert Diamond offers club memberships that give patrons redeemable points for cash spent at the casino.

There may not be a hotel on the casino grounds, but the Holiday Inn Express Green Valley is only a couple of miles away and provides you with the choice of 60 rooms.

There are 200 rooms to choose from and all are equipped with plush furniture, comfortable bedding, entertainment centers, two televisions, two phones, wet bar and complimentary coffee and tea services.

When you exhaust yourself with gaming, grab a bite to eat at the Agave Restaurant – open daily 11AM to 9PM - inside the Desert Diamond Casino, which serves a traditional American menu for lunch and dinner. Get great steaks, tasty fresh and salt-water fish, pasta and dessert. Afterward, order a fine wine from the restaurant’s large selection or get your favorite cocktail and unwind.

Want something else to do aside from gaming? Well, you’re in luck. The Tucson area is chock full of opportunities for adventure. There’s also a lot of relaxation available. Start out with a workout in the Holiday Inn’s workout facility and then take a dip in the indoor pool. When you’re done, venture to Sahuarita Lake and enjoy some leisurely fishing or some blood-pumping Jet Skiing.

At night, head to the Desert Diamond Casino and enjoy the nightly themed activities at the Diamond Center Sports Bar. Sing an ode to love lost or a rocking tribute to your favorite long-haired rocker at Karaoke Night – Wednesdays – or dance until your legs feel like jelly on DJ Night – Thursdays. There’s also live music every weekend.
