The vast marble walls and columns surrounding the room on the edges bring to mind the Roman opulence of Bellagio, and the gorgeous appointments throughout continue the theme. The center area's ceiling has been painted dark blue and dappled with tiny lights to simulate stars: they even twinkle as you watch them! To continue with the 'you're outdoors on a pleasant night' theme, the gambling tables are all under awnings or thatch or timbered roofs. The moment you walk into the casino, you're in a huge central room with extremely high arched ceilings. It's like a cross between Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas, and I mean that in the nicest way.

Although it's kind of in the middle of rural Washington, it is an astoundingly fancy and gorgeous casino. The Tulalip Casino is nothing short of amazing. Interior of the casino (photo from the casino website)

On the Monday night I was there, the wait was an hour for a 4/8 seat. Then make your way back to the poker room to play. Go out and wander the rest of the casino, play blackjack or Pai Gow, and your buzzer will light up and buzz when you're being called. You sign up for the game(s) you want, and you're given a buzzer. But, this casino has actual 'waiting buzzers' like restaurants do. Some maniacs, some calling stations, some rocks, some good players. Game Character: Anything can happen and usually does. Shuffling: All tables have standard Shufflemaster shuffling machines. Rake is taken from pot after flop, though jackpot rake is taken pre-flop.
