If you take a second glance, Arizona is a pretty weird state. We have hot deserts and tundra environments just a few hours away from each other, we have some strange sights to find around the state, and even our history has some pretty odd facts. So, it wouldn’t be any less fitting to have restaurants that are just as odd and eclectic. One place that earns the designation? Lutes Casino in Yuma.
The building Lutes Casino exists in dates to 1901 when it first operated as a grocery store and hotel.
Posters, old campaign signs,flags, pinatas, a bicycle, an odd collection of lighting fixtures, and other odds and ends hang from the walls and ceiling. It would be impossible to list every odd item you'll find while dining here!

The restaurant built its reputation on the quality of its hamburgers, which range from your typical double cheeseburger to an odd hot dog/cheeseburger meal that will have you wondering if a hot dog is a sandwich.
Lutes Casino is located at 221 South Main Street in Yuma. It is open daily and you can find more information about their hours and menu by checking out their Facebook page.
