Experience | Casinos COEUR D’ALENE CASINO RESORT WAY TO GO, IDAHO! Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort With two hotels, a golf course, a spa and 100,000 square feet of gaming space, Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort welcomes guests who are looking for relaxation, excitement or both. Groups that visit the northern Idaho resort enjoy discounts on rooms, golf and spa services. They also get some special treatment. “Our tribal hospitality is a warm welcoming into our home,” says Dee Dee McGowan, tour and event ticket sales manager. “We greet every group and hold a coffee and cookie reception, and we also see them off at departure with a bag of souvenirs to draw as prizes on their trip home.” A majority of groups that visit Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort are from Canada, Montana, California and inland Washington and Oregon. “Most groups book a year or more out,” McGowan says. “Some will call a few months out to add more trips, and we normally are able to accommodate them.” For visitors who arrive by air, the resort provides free transportation from the Spokane International Airport. And with a minimum four-night stay, groups can enjoy a complimentary private charter boat cruise on Coeur d’Alene Lake. For more information, contact McGowan at wmcgowan@ cdacasino.com or visit cdacasino.com. Today’s casinos are much more than just gaming centers. While groups can try their luck at range of table games and slots, they also can enjoy gourmet restaurants, high-end shops, modern spa facilities, luxurious rooms, hip nightclubs, live entertainment venues, amusement park rides and more during a visit to these and other NTA-member casino resorts.
