We were looking for the nearest casino and resort. When I did the search on my phone it linked them together. We were desperate for a drink, a little gambling and good nights rest after driving for 11 hours. I called and reserved a room, $175 on a Tuesday night!!! Really? Ok, so we continued there, following the GPS. We were confused when we passed the casino, which appeared to be very small. We continued for about 10 more miles on a winding road through the sagebrush. When got to the resort and realized the casino was no longer there we were furious. I didn't even go in. I called and canceled my reservation and we went back to Madras and stayed at the Best Western. So I did not actually stay at this resort, but I felt it was very deceiving and a huge disappointment after the drive. When I go to a casino and resort I don't want to drive 10-15 miles to play the machines and then drive another 10-15 miles to get back to my room.
Been out here for a few times, and although everyone was very friendly it wasn't great. The area is pretty isolated and the condition was pretty rough.
The main casino WAS located at Kah-Nee-Ta resort (KNT), but has since relocated to 12 miles south near the town of Warm Springs along Hwy 26. KNT does have a small 20+ slot machine operation located on the lower level of the lodge next to the pool tables, game room, bar, and snack bar. Also the physical area (landscape) that KNT is located is lovely, but KNT generally over charges for all items it sells.
In a small corner of the Café. Very few machines. Better to go to Warm Springs to the Indian Head Casino.
I consider this attraction a one time stand to visit...It has a campground with its own tepees for rent (if you do not mind to be smelling like a smoke fish when you wake up in the morning) and a swimming pool with a very hot spring!!! Not much to do do or to see around this place except for the small flowing Deschutes river alongside (but beware of rattle snakes)...There is a casino uphill about a short free ride from the resort but it seems that we never win every time we play there...I had given this casino a chance once more but the result(lossing)is the same...I will never go back in this place again unless for "unavoidable circumstances"...The fees(entrance, towels, etc..) in these resorts are kind of expensive so think twice if you want to visit...It is a long and winding road going down from Highway 26 and plan(important) to leave this place before dark...
This casino is at least ten miles from the lodge. Excellent food and service and a nice clean facility. Get directions from the lodge to avoid driving on a winding mountain 2 lane hi-way.
The slots favor the casino of course and they do not serve alcohol. The restaurant had wonderful frybread. It was expensive. The rooms are nice.
I've gone several times. I go with a budget and that I could lose my cash. No biggie. This place will suck you dry though. I understand the odds are in the houses favor but come on......you've got to give a dog a bone once in a while to keep the dog coming. I get more enjoyment at the local taverns with their machines. Of course that limits the type of games you can play but at least SOMETIMES you win. Kah Nee Ta....almost never!
Visited the Kai-Nee-Ta Resort in June. This resort is located on an Indian res. Located about ten miles from a highway, near Warm Springs, Oregon. Traveled here for the casino, now located ten miles away in Warm Springs. The Resort is very modern and quiet. Located on a hill above a river. This is kind of a semi-desert area. There is a small rv area a quarter mile away, on the river. A restaurant, large pool and spa, located at resort. Rooms are only $140 to $130. Things to do: horseback riding, fishing, and hiking. Resort number is18662645744.
Not many games, layout isn't very nice, parking lot was cramped and it's smoking throughout the building. We drove out of our way to visit the casino and it was a huge let down. I also got carded 3 times within an hour, kind of disruptive!
