Chinook Winds Casino & Convention Center, Lincoln City

I had visited before and recently stayed in the area to go to the casino for the weekend. I really like this casino. They've got great views outside the casino, their nearby eatery was delicious and had amazing views, and their nearby hotel also had killer views (I did not stay at their hotel). Most important - no smoking indoors! This made for a very clean and pleasant gambling experience. The employees seemed happy and were clean and friendly. I didn't win, but I still had an enjoyable time and will definitely return in the future.

All that glitters don't have to be platinum or gold.
