I will be celebrating the holidays with my in laws in Oregon. We are going to be staying in a big vacation house in Newport. I have heard there are some casinos in the area, do any of them have poker rooms, and if so, what are they like?

I've GOT to have something to do instead of being stuck with 20 in-laws for a week! help a guy out!

Spirit Mountain is fairly close to Newport. It's pretty large with a decent Poker room. There's also Tourney's a couple days a week.

Actually, Chinook Winds Casino is in Lincoln City about 25 miles north of Newport but they only have a few tables (4?) and don't start until late afternoon. About 25 miles east of Lincoln City (on Hwy 18) is Spirit Mountain Casino. They have 15 tables with good dealers. 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 6/12, 10/20. On certain days they have NL games. On Sundays they have a $500 prize for high hand of the hour (9:00 am - 10:00 pm). Non-smoking.
