“Know your limit” applies to more than just the money you play with. Be sure to bring your ID if you go and consider signing up for a Crescent Club card for additional special offers via email. If you’ve got six hours to spare, there is such a thing as a “free lunch”. Your ride also comes with a voucher for ten dollars off food in the evening or a free trip to the casino’s delicious buffet if you arrive early enough in the day. The ride costs ten dollars for the round trip, but comes with a voucher for $10.00 cash back, so the transportation is really free. A convenient shuttle bus leaves from the Convention Center or several pick up locations in the International District several times a day with the requirement that you stay 4 hours from your arrival time.

The setting however is quite beautiful and Snoqualmie Casino is only an hour from downtown Seattle. The staff was unfailing gracious in all of my interactions, but I’d like to spare those ladies that particular dress code. The smoke, along with the demeaning costumes (short red dresses with fluffy white trim) on the women serving drinks, was the thing I liked least about my experience. There is a “non-smoking” section of the casino, but I still left with a raspy throat and the reek of smoke on my clothes. Obsessive types should probably stick with video games – or leave their ATM cards at home.ĭon’t be caught by surprise by the indoor smoking, which is banned in most of Washington State, but is allowed here by tribal law. I played for a while on a “Cleopatra” slot machine. As for the gambling, I think my friend Patrick had it right when he said that he’s too good at math to be taken in. The show was irreverently funny although at least one previously uninitiated guest came unprepared for the duo’s hilarious, but raunchy song lyrics and left scowling. It took an invitation from a Kim with a free ticket to hear Garfunkel & Oates in concert to get me to have my first casino experience. I even surprised myself with this post for rain-proof fun in the Pacific Northwest.
