Want To Go Gambling? Here Are The Oklahoma Casinos Near Amarillo
It's no secret that people often travel to Oklahoma or New Mexico to visit casinos. Whether it's a short trip to Clinton, Oklahoma, or a weekend in Santa Fe you're looking for, here are the casinos you can find near Amarillo.
First, Understand That "Near" Means You Can Get There In A Day
Since we are geographically isolated from pretty much everything, you have to understand that getting to a casino is an investment of time on your part. The closest ones are still around 2 hours away at the least.
If you want to soak up those casino vibes, you'll need to do a little planning.

Lucky Star Casino has a few locations in Oklahoma for you to choose from. There's one in Clinton, Concho, and Hammon that you can get to in a day.
The time it takes to get to each is:

Sugar Creek Casino and I go way back. I remember when they first opened while I was living in Oklahoma. Since then, they've grown quite a bit.

New Mexico has several options available as well. You can just head to Santa Fe or Albuquerque and find plenty of casinos. That, however, is a discussion for another time.
