Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I hope to return to WinStar next year!

Check in can take a while with everyone arriving at the earliest check in time. I like that they keep the casino clean and its isles are wheelchair friendly. We enjoy playing the slots and black jack. I've been lucky enough to win more often than not. We've received promotional offers with free nights, food and game credits. I love that! Overall, it's an okay place to meet up, but there are a few things that keep it from being more than a 3 star experience for me. One of the biggest disappointments is that the casino no longer offers free drinks, which I definitely expect from a casino this size. We've stayed in both the Pool Tower and the Casino Tower. The chair in the Pool Tower room was extremely uncomfortable, while the Casino Tower room had a much more comfortable chair with an ottoman. Also, not always the cleanest. The valet is another downside. The wait to get your car can be pretty long, which gets frustrating when you're ready to leave. Most of the restaurants are fine, but honestly, nothing really stood out enough to make me want to go back just for the food. It's a convenient place for us to meet since it's halfway, but overall, Winstar is more of an average experience for me than somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit.

It's well maintained and very clean - inside and out. Outside features include a scenic woodsy area, shaded picnic area, and several places to walk your dogs. There's also a separate area for big trucks, RVs, campers and trailers. Everyone inside is so enthusiastic and friendly. Bathrooms are super clean with magical mirrors that make you look skinny. Maybe that's why I always stop here?! If you're actually visiting the state and not just driving through, they have a wealth of free info for various attractions, and also lots of books for purchase. They also have a coffee station for the caffeine addicts.

We had a scheduled group tour (the only way you can get a tour) today and arrived quite a bit early…read moreout of anticipation for heavy traffic. But there is a fun playground set up by the calves which meant we got first dibs on the hay slide! The calves knew visitors meant feeding time and were licking us, just waiting for that wonderful milk bottle to be given to them. Our guide was amazing, taking time to answer every one of our questions thoroughly. She showed us the stalls where the dairy cows feed, relax and stay cool, the water washout that cleans the stalls, the milking stations, and even let us practice our milking skills on a model cow. She explained that the cows are milked every 12 hours so our tour not only fell outside of their normal schedule, but they wouldn't be comfortable having strangers milk them. Which is why we practiced on a model, still very cool. Totally understandable, we want the cows to continue producing their delicious milk for all to enjoy! We learned that raw milk, not pasteurized, is actually better since the vitamins and nature's goodness haven't been heated out. After tasting the raw milk, it tastes SO delicious. They aren't selling commercially anymore and can only sell straight from their farm, so if you happen to want fresh milk, ice cream or other locally made farm foods, visit their store on site! Be sure to bring cash or Venmo. My family enjoyed today's tour and recommend everyone support our local dairy farmers at Circle N Dairy :)

Circle N is a small family owned and operated raw milk dairy. Because Texas prohibits the sale of…read moreraw milk in stores, Circle N exclusively sells their milk and milk products at their on-site shop. There you can purchase raw milk by the pint or gallon (they have chocolate and strawberry too!), as well as dairy like cheese, cream, yogurt, sour cream and ice cream. The store also sells items from other local vendors: things like honey, sausage, and nuts. The milk is fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced ($5.00 a gallon for white). Coming from California, where stores do sell raw milk but it's like $14 a gallon, I was shocked at the price Circle N was able to offer theirs. I wish we lived closer so I could make it part of my regular weekly shopping! The main attraction for us was the dairy tour, which is offered for $7 a person (under 2 is free). There is no set schedule for tours so you need to contact the dairy in advance to schedule one. The tour was incredibly informative and so much fun! We got to see where they milk the cows and how they flush out the barns. We learned about the silo, how they feed and care for the cows, and even got to give the calves a bottle! The tour ended with a half pint sample of the raw milk (a much more generous portion than I expected!). The only thing I wish we could have seen is a cow actually being milked. I had been on another dairy tour previously where we had the chance to see the mechanical milking and it was really neat, but this was at a much larger dairy, where the milking happened almost constantly throughout the day. At Circle N, the milking only happens twice a day (2:30a and 2:30p), so it makes sense that we weren't able to see it happening. Michelle, the owner and tour guide, was wonderful. She made us feel very welcome and was patient to answer all our questions. We packed a lunch and ate it at the covered picnic tables they leave open to the public. This is an outstanding destination for a homeschool coop, or even just a fun activity for the family. Cash or check only. Bring a cooler - you'll want to take home some of this milk!

Instead, our young waitress was "in your face" short with us, our service was mediocre and the establishment seemed ill prepared for a crowd. The savory cheese board was ok. However, I had have outstanding cheese/charcuterie boards at nearby wineries for less cost and far better quality. We were there in the afternoon and the very limited parking area was already full. The inside winery area is cramped and small. The outside area is spacious...but, lacks the outdoor fans that we see at many other Texas winery patios.
