Although it includes just a few streets, Historic Downtown Yuma has dining and shopping options to keep you busy all day. Start at Lutes Casino, which isn’t really a casino, but is definitely a great place for a hot burger and a cold beer. Named for the illegal gambling that took place in Lutes' back rooms for several decades, this historic establishment is filled with memorabilia depicting Yuma’s colorful past. Learn more about the area's history with tours of the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park and Castle Dome Mine Museum & Ghost Town for a true experience of the Old West.
While you’re downtown, be sure to see the recently restored façade of the historic Yuma Theater, a grand theatre built in 1912 that has been in continuous operation since 1936.
