Chinook Winds Casino and convention center is a Las Vegas-style casino on an Oregon Beach. Since opening in 1995 the resort has grown, adding a hotel, golf course, and RV park to the convention center and casino. The casino stats are impressive, with twelve hundred slot machines, poker, blackjack, bingo, keno, craps, and roulette. There's a thirty-seven thousand square foot convention center big enough for all kinds of meetings. The casino houses a showroom that will seat more than thirteen hundred people for monthly headline acts.
The casino and the convention center overlook the Pacific Ocean and are within a short walk to the beach. The casino is owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians of Oregon. The aesthetics at the casino reflect this ownership with the d,cor incorporating the beauty of nature with the symbols and traditions of the Tribe. There is a waterfall flowing into a pond that was designed to resemble Euchre Creek, an important site to the Siletz tribe. At this pond you can throw in a coin and wish for good luck. The coins contribute to the Tribe's education fund.
Painted on the exterior of the building is a weave design meant to be a tribute to the tribe's traditional basket weaving techniques. Salmon decorate both interior and exterior areas as a salute to a fish that has an important role in the history of the tribe.
Located on the northern tip of the Oregon Coast, the casino is a quick two and a half hour drive south from Portland. The physical address is 1777 NW 44th Street, Lincoln City, Oregon.
Right next to the casino, the hotel has two hundred and twenty seven rooms and sixty-one suites. Many of those rooms have an ocean view and some of them are pet friendly. The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, sauna and spa with a complimentary shuttle to the casino.
The casino restaurants include a steakhouse with casual fine dining and an ocean view and a buffet that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a seafood buffet on Fridays. There is an after-hours lounge that also has entertainment, and a deli. The deli is behind the waterfall and serves sandwiches and burgers.
