Peak Northwest

What non-gamblers can do at Spirit Mountain Casino

Listen Later

If you’re not into gambling in any form, is there any reason to visit a casino?

Oregon’s casinos may not have the same allure as our beautiful natural attractions, but they remain among the most popular destinations in the state. For people more apt to hike the Cascades or explore the coast, is there any appeal?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we take a trip to Spirit Mountain Casino in Grand Ronde to find out, exploring all the non-gambling aspects of the Coast Range attraction.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Jamie explains why he has stayed away from casinos – and why he visited this one.
  • Food and drink are a big draw at Spirit Mountain.
  • Searching for all the best places to sit and read in the casino.
  • Other nearby attractions make Spirit Mountain a good home base.
