5. Northern Quest Resort & Casino
When you think of casino hotel rooms, you might picture grimy and bizarrely themed cubicles. But on the outskirts of Spokane, Washington, Northern Quest Resort & Casino will defy all of these impressions. Recent visitors rave about the clean, spacious and well-furnished accommodations, and a number of guests single out the gigantic bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi and 42-inch flat-screen TVs as particularly appreciated amenities. Northern Quest also boasts 46,000 square feet of gaming space, a Native American-inspired La Rive Spa, an indoor pool and multiple restaurants and bars.
6. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi
Like any Hard Rock worth its name, this one in Biloxi, Mississippi, boasts music paraphernalia, live shows and nighttime entertainment. The pool area is scenic with cushy cabanas and poolside service. The drinks may not be flowing freely, but there is food aplenty at this Hard Rock’s nine eateries, from the fine dining at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse to desserts at the Sugar Factory. The rooms are decorated with flat-screen TVs, iHome docking stations and signature “Sleep like a Rock” beds. Down at the casino, you’ll have your choice of more than 1,300 slots and 50 table games. Guests should note that there is a daily $15 resort fee applied to the final bill, but that it covers the cost of parking – including valet – and Wi-Fi access. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi sits on Beach Boulevard, between the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino and the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art.
