Although it’s easily within walking distance to the Casino, the Winstar does offer a complementary shuttle van 24/7. We’ve stayed at the Best Western and found it to be very nice (it’s brand new) although the complimentary “full breakfast” is nothing great. There are two hotels adjacent to the Winstar (Microtel and the Best Western), and the Winstar is building their own hotel scheduled to be open summer of 2009. And, of course, the casino said that there wasn’t anything they could do about it as it was basically our fault for not looking at the ticket before we left the machine – which we couldn’t really disagree with. So when you’re done and you hit the cash-out button you’ll get their two cent ticket, and as soon as you’re out of sight the scammer will put a few cents in and then cash our your money! Within 10 minutes after we discovered the problem, we, and other couple, had both been ripped off. Then when you play the machine, there is no indication of a problem as the machine thinks it’s paid out. But instead of letting the ticket eject normally they cover the opening so that their two cent ticket stays inside. What they do is put a few cents in a machine then hit the cash-out button. We found out the hard way that the Winstar is experiencing problems with ticket scammers.

But we’re hard pressed to tell when we’ve gone from one “city” to another! While the decor is nice, the ceiling is industrial type with exposed pipes – which is fine, except that not a lot of attention was paid to the air conditioning system as some of the slots are virtually unplayable due to the excessive amount of the cold air blasting from the ceiling (and we’re the types that like lots of AC!) Slot machine ticket scammers.

The property has gone through several expansions, and is divided into 7 different casinos that are supposedly based on different international cities such as London, Rome or Pars. From Dallas it is an easy one hour drive (traffic can be heavy during rush hour until you’re north of Denton though). The Winstar casino is a mammoth (500,000+ square feet) facility located one mile inside the Oklahoma Texas border on IH-35.
