When you are in the mood to throw away some money on the slots or at the poker table, which casino makes you feel the most like you're in Vegas? Do any come close to Vegas style casinos here?

Nothing at all that can compare to Vegas, but the closest is between Clearwater on Bainbridge island and Tulalip in Marysville.

Its a toss up between the to largest casinos in the state Muckleshoot wich is the largest in the state then Tualip casino. Muckleshoot is a massive casino with 8 resteraunts and 13 bars. It has a 2400 car parking garage also connected to the casino. Muckleshoot has twice the slot machines and table games as Tualip . The indian tribes are only alotted so nany machines and tables per a tribe and tualip split theres between to casinos where Muckleshoot just built a massive casino.

Having been to both on business, and having been to Vegas casinos on business, frankly I feel that Emerald Queen Casino is a perfect mirror to Vegas casinos.

That's not a compliment.

Tulalip is superior in many ways. Well worth checking out.

Muckelshoot is OK but it wasn't overly impressive to me like Tulalip was.

+1 for Tulalip. I think the hotel rooms there are better than most of the same-class comparable resorts in Vegas. (i.e. TI)

Not sure as I have never been to Vegas, but I can tell you that any time I've ever won big it has always been at Tulalip. (And my biggest loss was at Quinault. Muckelshoot and Clearwater fall in the middle. My grandparents favor Angel of the Wind, although I have never been to that one).

Angel of the Winds is pretty small if I recall correctly. It's been several years since I was there.

I used to live in Marrysville and people would tell me that Tulalip was the closest to a Vegas feel. I had never been to Vegas so I took them at their word. Now that I've been to Vegas a couple of times I'll say that I don't think ANY of the casinos in Washington compare to Vegas, BUT the closest (out of the WA Casinos I've been to) would definitely be Tulalip.

We are moving to Tacoma so I am really looking forward to checking out Muckleshoot. I played Bingo there once maybe 13 years ago, don't think I've ever been inside the casino.

Another one that is pretty nice, though not Vegasy really, is Swinomish Northern Lights. My parents live in Anacortes, and while they do prefer The Skagit, or Tulalip, Swinomish is the closest to them and I always thought it was a cool little casino.

I don't think any of them would fall under "elegant" or "spectacle" like you'd find in the Nevada casinos. TBH, they all hit somewhere on the cheese scale, but I'm not a gambler either. If I go it's to beat the heat on a very hot day.
