Only in noticing the Northwestern motif faux wooden beams high above the sea of machines, might you remember where you are - the new reservation of the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe.
The 170,000-square-foot building offers slot machines of every variation, poker, live entertainment and food and drink of all kinds. Like the gilded halls of The Mirage or the MGM Grand, the new Snoqualmie Casino is a high-tech indulgence fueled by energy and luxury, food and drink. Being inside the 51,000 square foot gaming floor just 24 miles east of Mercer Island is to be transported to Las Vegas.
On opening day last Thursday it was a bit surreal to step out of the mist-laden Cascade forest into the Snoqualmie Tribe’s new state-of-the-art gambling palace.
