last time I stayed there I was probably too drunk to remember to ask for a poker rate, give them a call though, really nice rooms and the poker room was one of the best I've ever been to.
PLO is usually only in larger mixed games. I think 5/10 is usually the lowest.
Lone Butte (Gila River Casino) gets PLO games, usually 2 games of 1/2 on Friday nights and either 1/2 or 2/3 on Saturdays. Sometimes they will pop up other days of the week.
I've been able to get some 5/10 plo going at lone butte. Convinced the DD private game to play at LB once a week to help get more players for the player pool.
Any decent hotel recommendations near Talking Stick? I am going to be in AZ for something else next month and thought about adding a few days to stay there and play but there are no rooms (and the ones that sold out were north of 400 a night). Anything reasonable but still decent nearby to stay for a few days?
Feb is high season in Scottsdale/Phoenix. Good luck finding any decent room rates. IDK how much they run in Feb, but there is a cheaper option right across the street from Talking Stick. I've stayed there in the summer (cheap rates) and thought it was perfectly OK. Might even have free b'fast. Can't remember the name, but it'll be obvious in Google Maps. Between Top Golf and Talking Stick. That said, it was probably pre-Covid when I last stayed over there, so it might have gone downhill since.

there is a Hampton Inn right across the parking lot and within walking distance. MLB spring training starts up and rooms get taken up quickly.
Look at Airbnb - there’s a condo complex close to TS (right across street from spring training complex, just west of TS). You can get a place for $200/night incl fees. It’s OK+, I stayed there last December.
