WinStar World Casino and Resort is an American tribal casino and hotel located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, near the Oklahoma–Texas state line. It is owned and operated by the Chickasaw Nation. The casino opened as the WinStar Casinos in 2004, and was expanded (with a 395-room hotel tower) and renamed WinStar World Casino in 2009; its 370,000 square feet (34,000 m2) of casino floor made it the world's largest casino.[2] In August 2013, WinStar Resorts completed a major expansion project, which added a new 1000-room second hotel tower that was divided into two phases; this also added a new casino that is attached to the tower. As a result of the completion of this expansion, the casino overtook Foxwoods Resort Casino to become the largest casino in the United States and one of the largest in the world based on gaming floor space. WinStar has 8,500 electronic games, a 55-table poker room, 100 total table games, Racer's off-track betting,[3] high limit room, keno, and bingo.[4]
Location and history[edit]
WinStar World Casino and Resort is located about 120 miles south from the Oklahoma City metropolitan area and one hour north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and attracts many people from the North Texas region as well as Oklahoma residents. The casino's 3,500 seat Global Event Center has been home to some popular entertainment attractions including Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Adam Lambert, Weezer, Lil Wayne, ZZ Top, Maroon 5, Kid Rock, Tony Bennett, and Davy Jones, who gave his final concert at WinStar on February 19, 2012.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
The casino closed temporarily between March 16 to March 31, 2020 due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic as announced by Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby.[22] The casino was closed throughout the remainder of April 2020.[23] The casino reopened on in May 2020, with restrictive guidelines.[24]

- When you choose to camp at Fun Town RV Park at WinStar, you’ll get clean sites, professional staff and all the basics you expect from other campgrounds. But we’re better than “just” basics – you come to us for the extras. Exclusive swimming pool with showering facility just for RV Park guests. Basketball court.
- The RV Park itself is very clean but it is also completely barren; just concrete, grass and trees, NO shade and the sites are VERY close together. We finally became fed up with the treatment (and battling over the overcharges) and left after two days. If you want a great RV park near the casino go a few miles down 77 to Red River RV Park.
Design[edit]
Dec 02, 2015 Our trip to Thackerville Oklahoma to Winstar world Casino and our stay at their RV park.
WinStar was conceived by noted designer Larry E. Seitz whose work includes Sands Casinos, Trump Taj Mahal, Grand Casinos in Mississippi, Barona Casino, Buffalo Run, Chisholm Trail, Grand Princess, SS Norway, Casino Panama, Costa Rica Casino, Stellaris Casino Aruba, and the Paradise Island Casino among others. Additionally Hotels created for the brands Hilton, Hyatt, Sheraton, Marriott, Crown Plaza, Melina, Loews, Holiday, Ramada, InterContinental, and independents worldwide. Restaurants and Clubs have been produced internationally.Special effects, commissioned art, and sculptures were constructed and implemented by Dallas-based ValueWorks and produced by their suppliers in the U.S. and around the world.The exterior of the building was detailed by Lyndon Stromberg, who also worked on The Venetian and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as well as the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas and Planet Hollywood in New York City. The long façade exterior of WinStar World Casino features replicas of London's Parliament Building, Rome's Coliseum and the Arc de Triomphe from Paris.[25]
Hotel information[edit]
WinStar World Casino and Resort is home to the 12-story, 395-room WinStar World Casino Hotel that is adjacent to the gaming floor. On August 6, 2009, the 395-room hotel tower held a grand opening celebration that featured performances by American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson and American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Meeting rooms that have varied capacities of 10-200 people, a resort-style pool with a custom-built waterfall grotto, the Spa Habitat, and the Cloverleaf Boutique gift shop also opened on this date. WinStar World Casino and Resort also offers a variety of restaurants, many of which are open until late night hours, including Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill.[26] The second hotel tower, the Pool Tower North, opened in August 2013, while the third hotel tower, the Pool Tower South, opened in early 2014. Both towers have a capacity of 500 rooms each and are adjacent to each other. The Inn at WinStar has 101 rooms, and is accessed from the casino and the RV park by a 24-hour shuttle service. There are around 100 table games at the WinStar World Casino. Table games include blackjack, Mississippi stud, midi baccarat, poker, ultimate Texas hold'em etc. The 19000 sq ft poker room has 55 poker tables. There is a restaurant Red River Grill inside the poker room.[27]
Offsite areas[edit]

Bull riding[edit]
In 2011, the Professional Bull Riders brought their Built Ford Tough Seriesbull riding tour to the WinStar World Casino with an event at an outdoor arena constructed near the casino itself. The event was sponsored by WinStar World Casino and was held annually from 2011 to 2017 under the name 'WinStar World Casino Invitational'. The 2011 event was the first outdoor event on the BFTS since 2005.

Thank God this RV park is open!! RVing is a great way to self isolate and social distance so I have a hard time believing that it is good to close them!! Us full timers have to be somewhere!! The casino and restaurants are closer but the RV park is very well kept and only $25/night. Great walking roads.

One of the nicest RV parks we’ve stayed at. Big rig friendly (were a 44ft class A) with paved wide roads and paved pads. Utilities are awesome (high water pressure) and the park is beautiful. They’ve got grills and picnic tables at each site, lots of trash cans around and plenty of dog cleanup stations.

We usually stay at Winstar on our way back to FL from OK. They have pull thrus and back in spaces. Reservations are highly recommended. Small trees no shade but good for satellite. Get a players card and you will receive a discount on stay. They look to see if you have a players card now and automatically give you the discount. Paved level spots with full hookups. Fast efficient friendly check in. Nice pool. The casino is huge - mile long from end to end. They have finished the new hotel tower and added an arena for outdoor venues. Shuttle service seems to be working better. There is also a new exit from I-35 at the north end, however we think it's better if you take the south exit to reach the RV park. There is fuel at the south stop. You can overnight in the truck parking area to the left before you get to the RV park. Gravel lot. Shuttle does come to the gravel lot.

The RV park is still clean, pristine and level with full hookups. The shuttle service can be a bit slow, but delivers to all areas of the casino. As it is about a mile from one end to the other, this is a nice feature. They also have a big rig parking lot next to the casino, partially paved, partially gravel, with no hookups, but the shuttle bus drives through on its regular run. The pavilion is complete, as well as a new swimming pool. If you are a regular at the casino, they send you free nights in the hotel, which you can use in the RV park. We have attended rallies at the RV park as well as just staying anytime we drive north from Texas. It is advised to make a reservation as sometimes they are full, especially on the weekends. The casino has a Ladies Day and Men's Day, as well as Senior Breakfast on Wednesday and Thursday. The breakfast were being catered and were great, but now they just have them in the buffet - hey, its still free! There are several restaurants and a buffet inside the casino, as well as fast food places. There are service stands for free sodas and coffee/tea, as well as several bars, a sports tv that is the size of my house, and very friendly staff.

March 30, 2012. Beautiful, new park, paved pads. Long level pull thrus, some back-ins. No cable TV but satellite access no problem since no mature trees yet. 3 local channels (NBC, CBS, ABC). Shuttle service could be better with 30-45 minute wait when busy. I think they need a dedicated shuttle for just the RV park due to the size of the complex. They no longer charge more for the weekends and have weekly rates and monthly rates. Rate is $25 per night with $5 discount if you have Winstar players card. Building a new guest pavilion with swimming pool. Nice paved dog walk/walking path. Game room, basketball court. 2 large bathrooms and 2 laundry rooms. Office staff very helpful and friendly. Current promotion is if you stay 2 nights in RV park, the person the site is registered under gets $10 free play.
The casino is huge. About a mile walk from one end to the other. Better promotions than before. Ladies night and Men's night $20 free play. Free senior breakfast Wednesdays and Thursdays is current promotion. RV's were still parking overnight in the south lot. Security patrolling 24/7.
