Riverwind Casino at I-35 Exit 1 in southern Oklahoma has a full hookup RV
park. Each site includes paved pad, paved patio, picnic table, trash
receptacle, charcoal grill, water, sewer and electric (50 amp. 30 amp, 20
amp). Most sites are pull throughs, but are designed to accommodate two
smaller rigs as back ins with complete hookups and amenities for each. We
had site 145-146 and used the water and sewer of 145 and the electric of 146
since those connections were easiest for us. Free shuttle service is
provided to and from the casino.

Now for the good part, on your first visit you get a free night as long as
you get a players club card and they are available at the RV registration
desk. Once you have their players club card you get $5 off the regular rate
of $25 plus tax. With the discount our site cost us us $21.91 for our
second night.

They also have free WiFi, but it is a bit quirky. Intertnet Explorer worked
fine, but other software like AOL and Windows Live would not connect to the
internet.

A nice place to spend a night or two. It is on our route to and from the
LRGV and very well may become an annual stop going and coming!

Ron, when I google "Riverwind" it leads to a Riverwind Casino in
Norman, Oklahoma.

When I google Casino I-35 exit 1 in Oklahoma the WinStar Casino comes
up.

Are you sure you stayed at RIVERWIND CASINO when you stopped at exit 1
in Thackerville?

Whatever, thanks for the info. We can go that way when we head to and
from Wyoming and Colorado.

That's the number one rule of home improvement... never give a chick a
saw...

(Unless the chick is Hunter, of course).

Mike, your right I screwed up, Riverwind Casino is at Norman and the one at
Thackerville (I-35 Exit 1) is WinStar Casino. Sorry about the error.
WinStar Casino is the one I was talking about.

Ron, be careful where you place your reply. You replied below Mike's sig
delimiter (-- ) and most readers either delete anything after that, or
make the text faded an hard to read. I almost couldn't see the reply.

I know how to stay out of trouble... :-)

My ex-SIL once took a sledgehammer and a saw and knocked down a wall
to create a more (as she explained it) open plan for her kitchen/
dining area. When her husband, Donny came home from work, he had to
run to the lumber yard to get some 2x4s for a brace to prop up the
second floor.

She was unrepentant, but now knows what a bearing wall is for.

LOL, jeez....My next door neighbor, in SC, built a garage and put in a
loft.

He nailed in the floorboards where they landed, instead of ending each
one on a joist.

Walking up there was like walking on a water bed.

By the way, Hunter... maybe one of your Airstream buddies might be
interested in this - just posted on Craig's List.

Here's a couple of web sites for casino campers

http://www.casinocamper.com/

This one is just casinos, but if you get to the casino name and click on
it it will send you to the casino's website where you can see
information about overnight parking and RV parks.

Wow, that was fast.

It was a smallish, older Airstream that had been completely redone -
inside and out. Obviously everybody was as impressed as I was and
somebody got a great deal...

Driving through the back roads here I've spotted several older Airstreams
parked on the back 40 and obviously no longer in use. If I had the space and
was still able to do the work, I'd be tempted to make an offer on one for a
restoration project. I could leave it at the lake and make fewer trips with
the gas guzzler.
