Las Vegas, Northwest Style
Indulge in luxurious casino experiences that offer world-class gaming, dining, lodging and entertainment within a three-hour drive of Seattle
Even America’s first-time visitors have heard of Las Vegas, the storied Nevada strip known for its high-rolling lifestyle and lavish casinos. But fewer know that the Pacific Northwest is home to equally luxurious alternatives, each offering five-star facilities and world-class dining and entertainment with the added benefit of being 1,000 miles closer to home.
Snoqualmie Casino
Situated in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley, this casino is operated by the Snoqualmie Native American Tribe, and is closest to Seattle and Bellevue; daily shuttles picking up guests from around Greater Seattle only adds to the appeal. With a diverse selection of gaming, dining, entertainment, this central place is popular with guests of all sorts, so much so that the casino has implemented Cantonese- and Mandarin-language services to appeal to Asian clientele. A range of dining options suits equally diverse cravings, ranging from the casual 12 Moons Asian Bistro and Falls Buffet, which hosts a weekend dim sum brunch, to the inspired Vista Prime Steaks and Seafood, which showcases Pacific Northwestern fare with prime valley views Meanwhile, the 51,000-square-foot gaming floor with 54 classic table games — including Blackjack, Roulette, Craps and Baccarat — a separate poker room and 1,700 slot machines fosters a lively atmosphere that gives the real Las Vegas a run for its money.

Tulalip Resort & Casino
About an hour north of downtown Seattle, this bustling casino with adjoining 370-room resort is ideal for overnight guests planning a Vegas-style weekend. With more than 50 table games and more than 2,000 slots paying out $5 million in jackpots each month, regulars claim this place offers some of the area’s best odds. Regardless, lively entertainment, a luxury spa, Mandarin-speaking staff and shuttles to nearby golf courses and upscale outlet shopping (as well as Seattle and Everett) offers all-around appeal, while eight cafes and restaurants offer award-winning dining options from Asian favorites to fresh salmon roasted Tulalip-style over an open-fire pit. (At time of writing, a new steakhouse and pasteria, Tula Bene, was also slated open in late spring 2018.) Freshly-renovated guest rooms only further the experience with their sleek designs, state-of-the-art technology and stunning native art. Operated by the Tulalip Native American Tribe, the casino’s nearby cultural center (with gift shop) is also a great resource for visitors hoping to learn more about Tulalip tribal customs.
