Everything in that table comes from the operator’s own published pages or the association roster. Arizona casinos do not publish floor sizes, machine counts or revenue, so those rows do not exist here — a deliberate gap rather than an oversight. Figures of that kind circulate widely for this venue and every other in the state, and they are estimates.
Context
Del Sol and Casino of the Sun
The Pascua Yaqui Tribe runs two venues on adjacent land west of Tucson: Casino Del Sol Resort and Casino of the Sun. The names are close enough to be mistaken for one another routinely, and the addresses are minutes apart. Del Sol is the resort side of the operation; Casino of the Sun is the older, smaller floor.
For anyone navigating by map rather than by brand, the practical point is that arriving at one does not mean missing the other — they are close enough to treat as a single destination with two doors.
Detail
Southern Arizona’s cluster
Tucson and its southern approaches hold five of the state’s Class III floors, the second densest concentration after the Phoenix metropolitan area. Three of them belong to the Tohono O’odham Nation and two to the Pascua Yaqui, which means the entire southern cluster is run by two nations.
Getting there
How far Casino Del Sol Resort is from the main Arizona cities
Straight-line distances calculated from the venue’s published address. Useful for shortlisting, useless as an itinerary.
| From | Straight-line distance |
|---|---|
| Tucson | 9 miles |
| Mesa | 99 miles |
| Scottsdale | 106 miles |
| Phoenix | 108 miles |
Arizona’s road network makes these figures a rough guide at best. Mountain passes in the centre and east of the state, and the long empty stretches west of Tucson, both mean the drive can be far longer than the line suggests. The casino finder applies the same calculation to every venue in the state so the comparison is at least consistent.

Measured against the rest
Where Casino Del Sol Resort sits among Arizona's 27 floors
Every figure here is calculated from the roster's own coordinates rather than asserted, so it moves when the roster does.
The nearest other Class III floor is Casino of the Sun, about 1 miles away in a straight line. Ranked by that gap alone, this venue is the 24th most isolated of the 27 in the state, which is to say it has close company: several floors sit within a comparable distance and the choice between them is rarely about mileage.
The Pascua Yaqui Tribe operates 2 of the state's 27 floors. 2 nations run more, and 3 others run the same number. Operator scale is worth knowing because it travels with the regulator: a nation running several floors applies one gaming office and one compact across all of them, so rules and licensing tend to be consistent between its venues even where facilities differ.
None of this is a ranking of quality. This site publishes no ratings and no reviews for this venue or any other Arizona casino, because the data that would support one — payout figures, floor size, revenue — is not published per venue in this state. What can be measured honestly is geography, ownership and legal status, and that is what is measured here.
Common questions
Questions about Casino Del Sol Resort
Who owns and operates Casino Del Sol Resort?
Casino Del Sol Resort is owned and operated by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the nation's compact with the State of Arizona, the nation's own gaming office licenses staff and vendors and regulates the floor day to day, while the Arizona Department of Gaming certifies and audits against the compact — the same arrangement that covers the nation's other venue.
Where is Casino Del Sol Resort?
The published address is 5655 W Valencia Rd, Tucson, AZ 85757, in tucson & the south. That places it roughly 9 miles in a straight line from Tucson and 99 miles from Mesa. Straight-line distance is not drive time, and in the mountainous parts of Arizona the difference can be substantial.
How old do you have to be to gamble at Casino Del Sol Resort?
Twenty-one. Arizona applies a minimum age of 21 to every casino floor, sportsbook, lottery outlet and racetrack in the state, with no 18-and-over tier at any tribal venue. The Arizona gambling age guide explains how the rule is applied and why the state differs from its neighbours.
What class of gaming does Casino Del Sol Resort offer?
It appears on the Arizona Indian Gaming Association roster of Class III venues. Class III is house-banked gaming and is only permitted under a ratified tribal-state compact, which is the legal difference between it and the Class II bingo-style gaming that needs no state agreement. The guide to gaming classes covers the distinction.
What are the nearest other casinos to Casino Del Sol Resort?
The closest Class III floors are Casino of the Sun (about 1 miles), Desert Diamond Casino & Hotel Tucson (about 7 miles), Desert Diamond Casino Sahuarita (about 10 miles). All distances are straight-line and calculated from published addresses. The casino finder reorders every venue in the state by distance from a city you choose.
Does Casino Del Sol Resort publish its revenue or floor size?
No, and neither does any other Arizona casino. The state's compacts require contributions to Arizona rather than per-venue public accounts, so the only official figures are aggregate quarterly contributions. Any revenue, machine-count or square-footage figure quoted for a specific Arizona venue is an estimate from outside the record. Where the money goes sets out what is actually published.
