Snowmobiling and Casino?

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on great places(Resort/Hotel) to stay that would have Snowmobiling nearby and a Casino(w/ Table games) on site? I am putting together a "guys" trip for Mid-Late January.

We have done a similiar trip in the past in the upper peninsula of MI but this year we are looking to go out west. I was looking at Lake Tahoe. Are there any other places?

We are not intersted in skiing... just snowmobiling and the resort or hotel has to have a Casino (table games included) for night time festivities.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I was going to suggest Lake Tahoe - looks like you are already considering that. Check out Harrah's or Harvey's on the South Shore.

There's great snowmobiling near Kalispell, Montana. I know there are casinos, too, but I'm not sure if there are hotel/casinos.

I second the Tahoe suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestions. Do you know if you can drive your snowmobile right up to the hotels in Tahoe? We could do that in MI and it was great!

There is are several casinos in Minnesota that would fit your requirements as well. Thousands of miles of trails and plenty of casino options. Enjoy your trip, ziggypop

Deadwood in the Black Hills of South Dakota would fit the bill perfectly.

You may find what you are looking for at an Indian casino in South-Eastern Idaho. Look around Blackfoot north of Pocatello.
I was thinking of a couple of Oregon Casinos (1 with hot spring fed pool year-round). Snowmobiling not too close.

Nope. Not the casino hotels anyway . . . . They are on paved/plowed roads in the middle of built up areas. At Tahoe , snow mobiles are more for recreation out in the boonies, not for transport in town.

I haven't been to Deadwood for a while, but I know there are some new and very nice resorts. All the casinos would have all types of gaming, including poker, black jack, craps, etc. I suggest you call the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce for more information. If you haven't been to the area, it is beautiful.
Very popular for snowmobiling and they already have snow.
Good luck!

if you go to deadwood, you will definitely want to eat at the Midnight Star. If you are a sledder, stay CLEAR of jackson Hole--you cannot do much snowmobiling--limited trails in the that specific area.
