Sounds like if the Cheyenne/Arapaho tribes don't change their way, their casinos are gonig to be shut down too.

Hey Luke, I read your review on Winstar. I've been to several of the state casinos, including Winstar. Your review was pretty much in line with what I would've given it. I will admit...Winstar is huge...but it seems to me like a lot of Winstar's space is taken up by their bingo hall!

It is the largest casino in the state, but I don't really think it's the nicest. The new Cherokee Resort casino in east Tulsa, off I-44 is much nicer.....it reminds me more of the casinos in Vegas because it has a high rise hotel attached to the complex....the lobby of the hotel flows right into the casino. It's not like Winstar where it has hotels off in the distance, unattached.
If you want to see a first class state casino you might make a trip up to Tulsa sometime...it's just off I-44 (north side) a few miles east of Memorial. You can't miss it.

Unfortunately, all of the state casinos are all smoking. That's one drawback. Seems like Cherokee didn't seem as smoky though.

We also went to Creek Casino in Tulsa (off Riverside) and it was the worst in regards to smoke. I probably won't be back there for awhile. swake in the past has mentioned some of the renovations that are taking place there though.

I've been to most of the state casinos, and I'd probably say Winstar is the 2nd nicest. Give Cherokee a try sometime...you'll be very impressed.....especially with the newer part closer to the high rise hotel.

Oh....Cherokee has a pic of the hotel on their website. I believe it's 7 or 8 stories. http://www.cherokeecasino.com/
