History of Chinook Winds Casino Resort:

In May of 1995, after intense planning and three years of negotiation at the local, state and federal level, the Siletz Tribe opened a 10,000 square foot temporary facility known affectionately as “The Tent.” With only 250 slots, 12 card tables and a small deli, “the tent” opened under the name “Chinook Winds Gaming Center”. Chinook Winds faced anti-Indian and anti-casino protests suggesting the casino would attract drugs, prostitutes and organized crime. Opposition soon dissipated when the casino proved not only to be a major economic asset to the local community without the predicted evils but a valued partner

that enhanced Lincoln City’s quality of life. Just over one year later, the grand opening of Chinook Winds Casino Resort took place on June 28 th , 1996.

In 2004 the Siletz Tribe purchased the oceanfront hotel adjacent to the casino. The resort offers 243 rooms including 160 oceanfront rooms; 61 of them fireplace suites. Guests at Chinook Winds hotel are just steps away from the beach and stunning sunsets. The hotel houses a Jacuzzi, indoor heated swimming pool and workout facility, 7,500 square feet of meeting space, Wi-Fi and a complimentary shuttle to the casino which is located adjacent to the hotel. For guests traveling with families, the Chinook Winds Childcare provides a supervised activity center for children ages 3-11. For teens, the Arcade is located right next door.

Chinook’s Seafood Grill, located at the hotel, has stunning views of the ocean, a lounge with live entertainment on weekends and the perfect spot to enjoy drinks and conversation with friends around the fire pit. The casino offers five dining options whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or fine dining. The Rogue River Steakhouse offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean from every table. The steakhouse serves lunch and dinner featuring Pacific Northwest selections and local wines. When the steakhouse closes for dining the Rogue River Lounge heats up on weekends with a DJ and dancing. For guests that prefer having a wide selection of items to choose from, the Siletz Bay Cafe is the place to go. The Cafe has a large variety of menu options for all tastes. If you have a craving for a quick snack the

Euchre Creek deli offers sandwiches, salads, burgers, soup and Mexican made to order dishes.
