We got a very nice king suite at the Comfort Inn for only $65/night - even less with our AAA discount. Not being die-hard gamblers who are willing to pay that much for a very ordinary hotel room in order to 'be close to the action', we decided to drive the extra 20 minutes and stay in Ardmore. After waiting in line a while and looking around, we decided it wasn't worth it as we really were not going to get away from the casino atmosphere. (you can save $20 by reserving online) and we were only going to get a 20% discount at the most. The cloud of smoke followed us to the hotel front desk where we were told we'd have to wait to see someone in 'casino services' in order to get our discount on a room. After a couple of loud, smoky, and crowded hours in the casino, we were anxious to find a quiet (and smoke-free) place to rest, change out of our stinking clothes, and have dinner.

We signed up for the WinStar Club Passport Membership in order to get discounts on food and lodging.

We packed a few things intending to spend the night at the casino hotel. On July 4th, my husband and I decided to take a road trip and see the WinStar Casino in far south central Oklahoma.
