The halls and lobby of the hotel and spa comprise a de facto museum of tribal history.

I can go there for a couple days and never want to leave the complex, even though I only gamble on horse racing. Meskwaki Casino transports one to another time and place. Almost the entire population has moved back to the settlement. That evolved into a casino, hotel and spa that has financed large modern farming operations, three schools, a tribal clinic, a senior living center, housing and the purchase of a bank. In 1989, the tribe finally had earned enough money hosting bingo in their gymnasium to finance a stand-alone bingo hall on the new highway. Without the commerce, most of the tribe moved away. They owned some land on the southern side of the new highway, but they lacked the money to move water lines, gas lines and electricity. After the suspicious move, the tribe suffered. Some 35,000 visitors attended the annual Pow Wow, held along the old highway. Their Stone House gas station attracted tourists (“The Wild West begins in Iowa”) who bought crafts from the tribe’s artisans who set up shop on the roadside every day. From 1918 till that move, the highway had delivered an economic boon to the tribe. In 1955 the powers there moved it several miles north of its original course through the Meskwaki settlement. The Lincoln Highway’s course was only altered in one place - between Marshalltown and Tama. The Meskwaki Casino is imbued with delicious irony. We felt the WiFi was quite fast, especially for such a rural area, we have committed that we will visit Meskwaki about 6-7 times a year.Jackpot’s grill chefs will prepare 600 -800 T-bones and ribeyes in four hours each Monday. We love the 24 hour access to the pool and hot tub, and our room was spacious and adequate.

We had a fine dining experience at their Steakhouse Grill, had the BEST french onion soup a person could offer. My honey had a few nice hits on the slots too. I enjoyed the spa's hot tub and eucalyptus steam room, and one of the best 1 hour massages given by Jackie! we enjoyed the Standing Hampton's, free entertainment at the lounge and danced the night away! We had a great time playing bingo, and I hit my first ever royal flush on the video poker machine. We were able to check in early, and then I headed straight to the spa. Roads were peaceful country roads with minimal traffic.

We had a GREAT time here! We drove up there on a Thursday, about a four hour drive.
