Worst outdoor venue I’ve ever seen
by RJG on 11/17/25The Pool at Talking Stick Resort - ScottsdaleRating: 2 out of 5The pool area at Talkingstick casino was a terrible place to try to enjoy the music of ZZ Top. The chairs they set up in the pool area or smaller than an airplane seat. We were all crammed in like sardines. There wasn’t enough room between rows of seats for people to move in and out. Which caused horrible traffic jams as people tried to stand up to let people through, but they were stuck. Also, the aisles were always full of people. It was difficult to move at all. Add the fact that the stage was way too low. You could see nothing not standing, not sitting, not trying to move. I think that’s why the aisles were always full people with seats towards the back. We’re trying to move towards the front and stand in the aisles. If the stage had been four or 5 feet higher views would’ve been much better. The bathroom facilities were located a long ways from the stage. The crowd made it almost impossible to get there. This is not the place to go enjoy music.
