Chinook Winds Casino Resort: Entertainment, Gaming & Coastal Fun in Lincoln City

Feeling lucky? Chinook Winds Casino Resort remains one of the most exciting entertainment destinations on the Oregon Coast, drawing visitors to Lincoln City for gaming, live events, dining, and resort-style amenities, all just steps from the ocean. Operated by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians of Oregon, Chinook Winds blends coastal scenery with nonstop entertainment, making it a must-visit during any Oregon Coast getaway.

From gaming floors buzzing with energy to concerts, comedy shows, and a scenic golf course, Chinook Winds offers far more than a traditional casino experience. Guests can spend an entire day, or an entire weekend, enjoying everything the resort has to offer, then return to the comfort of a nearby vacation rental for a restful night by the coast.

If Chinook Winds is part of your Lincoln City itinerary, staying close makes all the difference. Meredith Lodging offers a wide selection of Lincoln City vacation rentals just minutes from the casino, giving you easy access to entertainment while enjoying space, privacy, and coastal comfort.

About Chinook Winds Casino Resort

Chinook Winds Casino Resort is owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians of Oregon and has grown significantly since its early beginnings. What started as a modest gaming facility has evolved into a full-scale resort offering gaming, dining, entertainment, recreation, and event spaces under one roof.

Today, Chinook Winds features:

  • A large casino floor with hundreds of slot machines and table games
  • Dedicated non-smoking gaming areas
  • A poker room and bingo hall
  • Multiple dining venues and lounges
  • A championship 18-hole golf course
  • Live entertainment venues hosting concerts, comedy, and sporting events

Its oceanfront location adds a unique dimension, allowing guests to enjoy coastal views and fresh sea air alongside indoor entertainment.

Top Things to Do at Chinook Winds Casino Resort

1. Try Your Luck on the Casino Floor

Gaming is at the heart of Chinook Winds. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of slot machines, classic table games like blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker, as well as bingo and keno. The casino floor offers a lively atmosphere with options for casual players and seasoned gamers alike, along with comfortable lounges for taking breaks between games.

2. Catch Live Entertainment and Events

Chinook Winds is one of the Oregon Coast’s premier live entertainment venues. The resort regularly hosts concerts, comedy shows, cultural events, and sporting competitions throughout the year. From nationally recognized performers to popular tribute acts and free live music, there’s always something happening on the event calendar.

The casino’s event spaces are designed to accommodate both large-scale performances and more intimate shows, making it a favorite stop for touring acts and a highlight for visitors planning a night out in Lincoln City.


3. Play a Round at Chinook Winds Golf Resort

Just across the highway, the Chinook Winds Golf Resort offers an 18-hole championship course set among wetlands, coastal forest, and mountain backdrops. The course provides a rewarding experience for golfers of all skill levels and includes a pro shop and practice facilities. After a round, many golfers relax with food and drinks at the clubhouse while taking in the peaceful surroundings.


4. Dine Your Way Through the Resort

Chinook Winds offers multiple dining options to match every appetite and schedule. From casual cafés and quick bites to upscale dining experiences, guests can enjoy everything from morning coffee to late-night cocktails without leaving the resort.

Highlights include steakhouse dining, relaxed lounges with live music, and grab-and-go options for busy days on the casino floor. Several venues also feature ocean views, adding to the overall experience.


5. Family-Friendly Amenities and Nearby Activities

While the casino floor is designed for adults, Chinook Winds also offers options that appeal to families. Seasonal events, nearby beach access, and proximity to Lincoln City attractions make it easy to plan a balanced trip that includes entertainment, outdoor activities, and downtime by the ocean.

Families staying nearby can enjoy beach walks, outlet shopping, glass float hunting, and scenic drives during the day, then return to their vacation rental while adults enjoy an evening at the casino.
