We recently stayed at the Grand Casino Shawnee Oklahoma. We highly recommend this location and will also be returning to this location in the future. Easy access from the highway, covered parking, very nice hotel, lots of restaurants to choose from, and a modern clean casino with entertainment.
Slot Machines
There are over 2000 slot machines and slot players can choose their favorites from state-of-the-art reels, video, keno, and video poker machines spread over two casino floors.
Table Games
There are Blackjack, Spinnette, Craps, and Ultimate Texas Hold Em, table games. There are monthly and annual poker tournaments.
Restaurants
There are eight restaurants to choose from high-end dining establishments to fast food dining such as Subway. The casino has free soft drinks and even free ice cream available on a self serve basis. There are multiple bars as well to choose from that compliment the restaurants, sports bar, and the entertainment area.

What We Did Not Like
Considering that there are many casinos in the area, prices for food and beverages were average prices. We expected a little more competitive pricing. However, this is the only casino hotel combination in the immediate area with an entertainment venue as well.
This is actually a really nice place to stop at or spend a few days relaxing.
Slot Player Card
They have their own slot player’s card system. Slot members can take advantage of benefits at this casino and hotel only. Points can be used for meals, hotel expenses, and even gas at the local gas station.
If you have not taken advantage of slot player cards, there are a number of benefits that many slot players should consider. Free or discounted rooms, an email mailing list of promotions, free or discounted meals, access to entertainment, and a tax report outlining your losses and wins for tax claim purposes.
Parking
There is ample parking at the Grand hotel & casino in a large parking garage beside the hotel as well as surface parking. You can access the hotel from the garage via an elevator from all levels. The parking garage is also patrolled on a regular basis and it also protects your car from the weather.
Directions:
Getting to the hotel is pretty easy. Just east of Oklahoma City on I40. Watch for the signs and take the appropriate exit.
and check out this casino. It is right off the interstate #44. Easy to get on and off if you are only stopping for an hour or two. Based on our observations this is one casino we want to go back to sometime when we are in the area. This hotel and casino also looked like it was under going major renovations and upgrades at the time we were there. I am sure it is now completed and looking wonderful.
and we will go back. We signed up for a slot card and now we have the 1-800 number to call for room reservations as well. We did not play enough this time to warrant any comp’s from the hotel, however perhaps next time we will be offered reduced room rates or food vouchers. Park in the surface parking area in front of the casino entrance. Easy access from all of the highways and easy access to the hotel and the casino are provided.
