Why You Need to Check out the Chinook Winds Casino

Seth Mullins
The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians of Oregon own and operate this premiere casino in Lincoln City, which hosts 1,200 slot machines as well as table games like keno, bingo, craps, roulette, blackjack and poker. The design of Chinook Winds Casino draws upon two important aspects of Siletz tribal history: their distinctive basket weaving style (as evinced by the casino's bowl shaped lobby, and the weave design painted on the outside of the building) and salmon fishing (which numerous indoor decorations pay tribute to). Euchre Creek is a waterway that the Siletz Indians hold in high regard, and they invoke its spirit with a beautiful waterfall on the casino's property that culminates in a pond that also serves as a wishing well.

Since 1995, Chinook Winds Casino has satisfied thousands of visitors with its helpful and courteous staff, great meals, and live entertainment. People enjoy the ambiance, the friendly service, and the opportunity to experience fun gaming within sight of the beautiful Oregon coast.

Guests can choose from three great places to dine: The Rogue River Room, which offers a beautiful ocean view to accompany one's meal, Rogue Lounge, for after-hours entertainment, and Siletz Bay Buffet, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and also offers a popular seafood buffet on Fridays. There is also a deli, tucked behind the aforementioned waterfall, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Live music can be experienced - up close and personal - in the "Concerts by the Sea" showroom, which seats over 1,300 people and features monthly headline acts. This two-story facility maintains a full schedule, booking world-famous acts like Hootie & the Blowfish, Three Dog Night, Michael Bolton, and the Beach Boys. Please note that admission to these shows must be obtained through Ticket Brokers rather than Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

The resort strives to be convenient for those traveling with families, as its Play Palace offers safe and supervised childcare for up to four hours and hosts themed birthday parties in its party room for up to 14 children. The Games Galore arcade has over 80 games for adults and young ones alike. Chinook Winds Casino also offers an 18-hole golf resort and RV park. Parking, shuttle service to various lodging properties, coffee, and soda are all complimentary.

The hotel consists of 227 rooms and 81 suites. It commands a magnificent view of the ocean and is located right next to the casino. Accommodations include an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, spa, Guest Laundromat, full service restaurant, lounge, and live entertainment on the weekends.
