The hotel was comparable to any nice resort or upscale hotel. It celebrated the Native American heritage with respect, even though it's a casino. I was wooed by the art work and building design. The inside hallways give you the impression you are in a long house with tree branches and logs laced together to make the roof. Below the upper Windows are large paintings depicting Native American life from long ago. Hanging from the center of the ceiling in the entrance hall is a huge cut glass chandelier with cattails cut in the glass. On either side stood large stone fire places with screens displaying iron warriors out for a hunt. The entrance to the casino is a large three story exposed wood beam and glass circular walk way. An overly friendly valet staff greeted me. Looking up I found huge black canoes hung in the ceiling recesses, very striking. Valet parking was under a massive wood portachure. Finally in a clearing stood the Four Wind Casino and Hotel. After driving for awhile on the long curvy entrance road doubts started filling my mind, did I take a wrong turn? I decided to relax and enjoy the beauty of the dense woods. I almost missed the modest entry sign indicating the left turn into the casino. I could have stayed there all day! My friend had a great time in the casino and some luck on the slots! And I enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing evening! I would definitely go back! It was so relaxing! The pool does close early though - at 6pm - that would be my only complaint. The pool area is amazing! Brand new with beautiful seating and outdoor fireplaces. Go hungry! There is a Hard Rock cafe with an outdoor patio that leads to the new pool. We had a jetted tub that was huge! I am 5'8' and I could put my legs down and fully soak! Actually I slid a little so you could be taller and still fit! The buffet was plentiful, so many options I had a hard time choosing! A little pricey, but I have been told that it is an average price for what you got. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. My friend had plans to go to the Four Winds and at the last minute her husband couldn't go, so I got to go with! What a wonderful surprise! The hotel is beautiful and very clean. I have been to Vegas a couple of times and never dropped as much as a quarter in a machine.

Let me start by saying that I am not a gambler.
