Extraordinary contrasts contribute to Grand Portage Lodge and Casino's unique and special charm. Visitors can walk or ski a peaceful trail, climb a mountain to enjoy a spectacular vista...and later experience the fast action of Live Blackjack. They can feel the fabled stillness of a place the Chippewa long ago identified as magic, then surround themselves with the jingle-jangle of rows and rows of Video Slot Machines. Listening to stories around a crackling campfire can be followed by the delights of gaming under a shimmering chrome and neon ceiling. Waiting patiently to spot a moose can provide as much eager anticipation as listening for the call of a winning High-Stakes Bingo number.
