Chinook Winds Casino is a large Native American casino at the north end of Lincoln City, operated by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. It has the full casino range — slots, table games, poker — plus a hotel, a concert venue that draws regional and national acts, and several restaurants.
The casino draws visitors from Portland and the Willamette Valley, particularly on weekends. It is not the most compelling reason to visit Lincoln City, but if you are interested in the history of the Siletz people, the tribal connection adds context to the casino's location on this stretch of coast.
