Lucky Eagle Casino

Did a drive-by intending to grab a lunch and make a donation. They use to allow short term parking in the very south of the casino parking lot but apparently that has ended. All kinds of No Parking signs. We thought for a second about parking and checking if it was allowed for day time visit but decided just to move on.

We stayed here one night, yet were charged for two (without notice, consen, or signature) for leaving 1 hour after check-out. This has never happened to us at an of the hundreds of other places we have stayed. AVOID THESE SHADY PRACICES AT ALL COSTS!

Lucky Eagle has three options for spending the night. They have a small area at the back of the casino parking lot where you can park. They allow but don't encourage parking there. Second, is across the street at the hotel. As Retiredguy posted in Winter 2016 they have about 12 spaces that offer water and electric. The spaces are narrow with almost no space between spots. You are not allowed to extend your slide. These spaces cost $25.00 per night. These spots are close to the casino. They include easy access to the laundromat (down the hall from the front desk), pool, and discount at Starbucks. Third, is a parking lot camp about 1 mile away on Highway 12 across the street from their store. You can call for a shuttle or drive over. If you want to bicycle the road is well paved and fairly wide. These spots are nicer than the ones by the hotel. They do offer sewer as well as electric and water. These spaces are wide enough that you are allowed to put out your slide. These are RV spaces and not camping spaces. They do not allow fires. The biggest negatives are: as with most any casino rv space it is just a nice parking lot. The other bad is it is right on Highway 12 so there is some traffic noise. Across the street is the tribe gas station and store. When I was there last, August 2018, the gas prices were very low. I jumped at the chance to fill up with diesel and propane. Where just about everywhere else was charging $3.49 for propane they were charging $1.99.

A good spot but a few miles off I-5. They have around 12 spots right at hotel parking lot beside casino. 6 are dry camp, 6 with hookups. We dry camped both times, way down and way back. It was free but still got to use WIFI and facilities. There is also a RV site for casino at turn off from Hwy, about 1.5 miles away. Minimal facilities but that's OK as its just a stop over. Casino was fine, food average.

Wow this was a very pleasant surprise. This was my first casino overnight after having just come from getting solar panels installed on my trailer. Pulled in about 10:30pm. RV area was maybe 1/3 full. Backed not a dry spot, went to the hotel desk. They keyed in my information in their computer and I was done. Very quiet, astonishingly fast (8-9mbs) wireless speeds in the RV area, inside my Airstream. Only got PBS on the batwing antenna.

We "camped" in a power and water hook-up spot but there are spots that are 'dry camping'. The sign says the dry camping area is free, but see below... We registered at the hotel front desk and paid the $25.00 for one night. Then we went into the casino, which is across the quiet street, and signed up for the player's club. We got a coupon good for 25% off dinner and (for us) $5 worth of slots play. We gave them $20 and they gave us a $25 'receipt' to us in the machines. We also showed them our receipt for the $25 camping and they refunded us the $25 in cash!! Overall it seem pleasant enough, quiet and everyone is friendly. The spots are quite narrow and you are not supposed to have your slides out. We did for a short time while we were in the rig because we need them out to get around in the rig, but it would be a problem if the spots were busy.

There are two RV areas and it costs $25 a night. Both areas are serviced by a shuttle. Register at the hotel. We like this casino and it's only about 15 minutes of I-5. We see some RV's in the hotel parking lot but not sure if it's still cool to park there overnight for free.

Report from James M., August 4, 2010 This casino DOES allow FREE dry camp overnight parking.  They do have RV sites with water and electricity but NO sewer.  But you can just dry camp in the same parking lot.  FREE.  Just pull in and find a place away from the front of the hotel and no one bothers you.  We checked in with the front desk and they said we did not have to even check with them.  Also told us we were parked exactly where they wanted us - away from the front of the Hotel.  

Report from Robert S., May 19, 2010 The only down side about the campground is that if you park next to someone that has slides on opposite sides as yours you are going to be kissing close. Water and 20/30/50 electric. Great food in the restaurant, One thing is that they didn't charge sales tax here. Others in WA do.

Report from Just Wanderin', July, 2009 We stayed at the Lucky Eagle Casino between Olympia and Centralia, WA. This casino actually has a nice RV park with electric, and water. The first night we paid $14. The second night could be free if you spend an hour "gambling" in the casino. This casino really didn't offer much free other than that. If you want to play the slots or tables, they will give you a $2 credit. They will also offer you $2 off in their steak restaurant. We wanted the buffet so didn't use the steak restaurant coupon. The seafood buffet was wonderful. We ate there a couple of nights and ended up extending our stay ... since we did well on the slots. This is a nice place to stay and spend some time. We'll definitely stay again as we travel north in the summer.

Report from Sherri E., June 11, 2009 As of May 2009, RV camping is on a first-come, first-served basis, across the street from the casino, no reservations. Check in at the Player's Club desk in the casino, no fee if you have a player's club card with a couple of hours of game time on it. Water and electricity, but no dump or internet.   Staff is friendly, casino is clean, separate non-smoking game room, adequate wait-staff, but also self-serve soft drinks and coffee.  Fridays and Saturdays are Seafood buffet, which can be free if you have enough points on your card, with discounts for seniors. There's also a deli and a couple of other restaurants.   Free shuttle service from RV area to casino, but unless the weather's really bad, you won't need it as it's a very short, easy walk, regularly patrolled by security, and is well-lit.   It's about 8 miles west off I-5, but casino is confusing to first time players, since some slots take cash or tickets, and some slots take a card only. The also have craps, poker, and other table games.   We have stayed there many times, as they also have a hotel with smoking and non-smoking rooms for the times we didn't want to bring the RV.

report from Jo D., June 11 2009 Nice casino RV Park, free with Players club points. Water and Electricity, no sewer. Buffet free with coupons and player club points, food always seemed cold. May 2009

report from the Sala's, October 2008 We started staying there when they only had gravel sites it cost us $5.00 to register, and get our casino cards. We stop there twice a year fall and spring to and from Arizona. When we use our cards for a couple hours each our camping is free. Needless to say we have never paid a cent for camping since the initial $5.00 even after they built the new section GREAT

report from Rick and Lucky Lucy, July, 2007 We headed for an Indian casino near Rochester and found the Lucky Eagle a few miles out of town. Nice area and the casino has 20 RV sites with water and electric hook-ups (but no dump station). The sites are level, paved, and immaculately landscaped.   I headed to the casino to register for a site -- $14 -- and found we had hit them on senior citizens day. Our luck is holding out. When I signed up for a slot card they handed me a bunch of coupons among which was buffet for $3.95 and two $5 cash coupons. This is too good to pass up so when we went for the cheap buffet lunch Lucky Lucy also signed up and got another $10 cash. Alas, the slot & VP machines were all bingo machines so we declined that opportunity and didn't do any gaming, just took their money, ate their food (excellent, by the way) and enjoyed a good night's camping -- all for $2 out of pocket expense. They also allow free overnight parking in their parking lot.

from reader Gray T., July, 2006 For your information, we stopped at Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester, WA on our way home from AZ in April 2006 and charge was now $14.00, no longer 8.00 Still the buffet is great.
