Probably the coolest casino in OK that we've never heard of. Apparently Jewel is even playing there in November. Pretty impressive for Quahpah, OK.

The casino is owned by the Quapaw tribe but it is located on the Missouri side of the border. It is supposed to have a nice golf course.

While one will need to enter Missouri to get to the access road, the casino is actually in Oklahoma. Other parts of the resort's property are situated in the adjoining states of Kansas and Missouri.

From their FAQ page:

Q: What state is the resort located in?
A: Downstream Casino Resort is located in the northeastern corner of Oklahoma, the parking lot is located in Kansas and the main entrance is located in Missouri.

Wow. So the place is in three states. I wonder if any other casino properties are like that? Maybe the ones in Primm, Nevada that have casinos on the Nevada side but a couple of golf courses on the California side.

Yeah, I first thought it was all in OK except the entrance, but just barely. Then I read through the site some more. Add in a tribal land issue or two and I suppose a simple purse snatch and run at this place could get real interesting real quick.

Wow, I wonder if the legal paperwork and tax paperwork are a headache.

Complex, certainly. As far as headache? Doubtful, so long as they
engaged folks who knew what they were tackling. And when that
much money is on the line, odds are they engaged the right folk.

Of course, but doesn't mean it's fun, but money talks.
