So … if you were fantasizing about having a posh dinner at a Vegas-style restaurant before the show, let me pause here to laugh hysterically. The dinner line for the buffet - also in the smoky casino - seemed to stretch into Infinity.
The casino has a handful of mostly small junk-food-type spots only a few feet removed from the crowded, smoke-filled, deafening, scary-dark casino and starving desperate patrons are lined up well before 6 o’clock. There’s a small, empty refrigerator in your room (no minibar) and next to nothing to eat at this gigantic facility marooned in Thackerville, OK. For others bound for the WinStar hotel/casino, particularly just to see a performance at the Colosseum, here’s the travel guide I wish I’d had: BRING YOUR OWN FOOD, BOTTLED WATER AND WINE.
