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 Arizona casinos do not publish floor sizes, machine counts or revenue, so those rows do not exist here — a deliberate gap rather than an oversight.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
Northern Arizona’s only resort floor
Nothing else in the state occupies this position. The northern third of Arizona has a handful of casinos and only this one combines a floor with a resort, which makes it the default stop for travellers crossing the state on I-40 and for the Flagstaff catchment.
The Navajo Nation’s territory extends across three states, but Twin Arrows is its Class III presence in Arizona. Its isolation is real: the next nearest Arizona floors are well south, down towards Camp Verde and Payson.
Detail
Altitude and season
At this elevation the approach is a mountain drive, not a desert one, and winter conditions on I-40 are a genuine planning factor in a way they are nowhere else on the Arizona casino map. Straight-line distance is a particularly poor guide to travel time here.
Getting there
How far Twin Arrows Navajo Casino 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 |
|---|---|
| Flagstaff | 22 miles |
| Prescott | 81 miles |
| Scottsdale | 122 miles |
| Mesa | 125 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.

| Yavapai Casino | Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe | 80 miles |
5 of Arizona's 27 Class III floors sit in the high country. The nations overview groups every venue by the nation that runs it, which is usually a better guide to how similar two floors will be than distance is.
Measured against the rest
Where Twin Arrows Navajo Casino 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 Cliff Castle Casino Hotel, about 52 miles away in a straight line. Ranked by that gap alone, this venue is the 5th most isolated of the 27 in the state — genuinely remote by Arizona standards, with no realistic alternative within an easy drive. It is also the northernmost casino in Arizona.
The Navajo Nation operates this floor and no other, which is the normal pattern in Arizona: most of the sixteen gaming nations run a single venue. 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 Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort
Who owns and operates Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort?
Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort is owned and operated by the Navajo Nation. 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.
Where is Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort?
The published address is 22181 Resort Blvd, Flagstaff, AZ 86004, in the high country. That places it roughly 22 miles in a straight line from Flagstaff and 81 miles from Prescott. 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 Twin Arrows Navajo Casino 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 Twin Arrows Navajo Casino 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 Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort?
The closest Class III floors are Cliff Castle Casino Hotel (about 52 miles), Mazatzal Hotel & Casino (about 66 miles), Bucky's Casino (about 80 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 Twin Arrows Navajo Casino 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.
