We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort is located off route 87 on the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Reservation about 20 miles from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Yes, you heard me right, the cashier who takes you to a booth.Artist Rendering of We-Ko-Pa Casino. Also don't be surprised to see a tip section on your receipt for the cashier. But we weren't that thrilled with the other food selections. If you register with the casino, you can get $5 off for the buffet which at that time was $17.99. We ate there once on a night when they had crab legs. There are a few small restaurants inside as well as a place called the Red Rock Buffet. As like other casinos, it seemed like the newer slot machines were in the smoking area. I played the slots in the non-smoking area. There are lots of slot machines and some tables. I was surprised and it was the Christmas holiday. If you are coming from the hotel, enter through the doors on the left. Try going early in the morning before the crowd gets there in the afternoon. The first thing you notice is that the casino is very smoky.

The casino is in walking distance of the We-Ke-Pa Resort and Conference (see my review) where we stayed over the Christmas holiday. All in all an enjoyable evening with a good meal!

Valet parking was a nice feature.no cost, only a tip. Staff came around with free soft drinks while we played.a nice touch. Spent some time gambling in the non-smoking area.other areas were a bit smokey, but preferred non-smoking for us. Good selection of salads, sides and desserts.but hey after all the wonderful food we had little room for dessert! Also offer soft serve ice cream, vanilla, chocolate and swirl with a wide variety of toppings. Buffet also included cold and hot mussles and clams, cold crab legs and baked salmon.all you wanted. Dinner also included the buffet which featured a huge leg of beef sliced by staff member based upon your preference for how well done.

Lobster served with drawn and butter yummy mashed potatoes that included seasonings. Dinner included 2 4 oz or so lobster tails which were very tasty, hot and properly cooked.

With 'membership' received a $1.50 discount and all soft drinks included. Had dinner on Friday night for the $29.99 lobster special.
