See post 11 above for the Casino Del Sol poker offerings. I have not been to Desert Diamond in at least a year, but I've heard it is still all low stakes fixed limit games, with mid stakes (8-16 or 15-30) only rarely running.
Unfortunately the next closest Casinos are on the outskirts of Phoenix. I think the best room in the state is Casino Arizona in Scottsdale (Phoenix outskirts). It spreads a variety of middle fixed-limit HE and Omaha-8 along with 1-2, 2-3, 3-5 and 5-10 blind "nl" holdem games (all 500 max bet).
I live in the foothills a couple of miles from where you are staying - it takes me between 30 and 40 minutes to get to Casino del Sol, and about 1.5 hours to get to Casino Arizona.
