As many may or may not know a few weeks ago Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale AZ was evacuated due to flooding from back to back Monsoon storms.. This happened literally after Day 1A of the Arizona State Poker Championship.. Orginally there was discussion it might reopen in a few days.. Were now 3 weeks in and I just got information from my Cousin whos wife works there and its bad bad news..

For those who don't know the entire electrical system was fucked up including the transformer the back up transformer and the generators.. Water flooded the service tunnels and also lead to flooding on the main casino floor..

At minimum TSR will not reopen till likely October 1 possibly in a limited capacity.. There is possibility full operations will not return till sometime between Thanksgiving and New Years.. The Indian community still has their other smaller casino running but the take there isn't covering the losses from TSR.. Its an epic disaster and at this point the cost to repairs may exceed $100million dollars...
