Whenever I go to a friend's in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (and the return trip back), I generally stop for a break at the Twin Arrows Resort Casino, the Navajo Nation's biggest casino, just east of Flagstaff. It is roughly the halfway point along Interstate 40.

The hotel and casino were reopened yesterday after being shuttered for 15 months due to the pandemic.

There are some restrictions and Yogonet Gaming News spells it out.

They start with:

Twin Arrows Navajo Casino re-opened July 12 in Flagstaff, Arizona after being shutdown for more than a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic as Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted. 

The new protocols for this phase, which includes the Twin Arrows Hotel, involve the use of masks while inside the casinos, and temperature checks as well. Players must show a government-issued ID to enter. Even though the ban on non-residents of the Navajo Nation has been lifted, the night curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. remains in effect. 

Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise CEO Brian Parrish assured that 80% of the casino’s personnel has been vaccinated and educated about the importance of inocculation. “We are conducting tests of all of our team members every two weeks,” he said, as reported by Navajo Times.

By the way, there is a new travel center that opened last year on the hotel's access road.
