DREAMCATCHERS
Tribal gaming at its best
By Sean Chaffin
An inside look at some of the top Native American casino resorts from coast to coast
The rise of Native American casinos has been dramatic over the past years, a growing trend that has made the excitement of gambling and the casino lifestyle a reality for players from coast to coast.
But what you see today did not simply happen overnight. Indeed, many of these tribal properties had humble beginnings, opening originally with limited space and scope, serving only as a bingo hall for area residents. But they thrived and in due time began to grow and expand and challenge the gambling giants in Vegas and Atlantic City. Fast-forward a decade, and hundreds of fully-fledged Native American casinos dot the landscape, offering players the thrill of casino gambling coupled with the right-next-door convenience.
Where once players were at the mercy of distance—you had to book a vacation or plan an extended trip just to visit a casino— now for millions of gamblers it’s a good bet that there’s one within easy driving distance. But like everything else, some of these properties are great, some are OK, and some are just, well, there.
Here are our selections for some of the top tribal properties in the country. Each one has its own merits, nuances, and surprises. But all are fantastic casinos and well worth your time to visit.
