No two dads are the same. Despite universally terrible dad jokes—and occasionally questionable wardrobe choices—they’re as different as the families they love. Why give him another tie for Father’s Day when a trip to Little Creek Casino Resort offers something for all ages, tastes, budgets, and overbooked schedules?

This year, Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 17, so you still have plenty of time to plan your visit. At less than 30 minutes from Olympia, it’s the perfect escape for an afternoon, overnight, or long weekend.
If dad needs a break from work, chores, grilling, mowing, or cheering on his favorite team, consider the Father’s Day overnight resort package. This includes a one-night stay, two rounds of golf at the award winning on-site Salish Cliffs Golf Course, a $20 gaming credit, $20 Skookum Spirit Cigar and Wine Lounge credit, and $40 Salish Cliffs restaurant certificate.
Or take the whole family to the Father’s Day Barbecue Buffet at the Creekside Buffet. For $26.95 dads, grads, and more can enjoy a decadent brunch from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. or full dinner from 2:00 until 8:00 p.m. Also on Father’s Day, Little Creek will have cash drawings for up to $500 from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
No matter which day you visit, Little Creek has entertainment options galore. Karaoke and Rockaraoke on Wednesdays, DJ SmyleZ mixes tunes every Thursday, live music Friday and Saturday nights throughout June, and a country dance night every Sunday mean you can burn off that buffet before hitting the gaming floor.

And, before you ask, yes, even dad would enjoy a spa day. At Little Creek’s Seven Inlets Spa, the June Spa Package will help any and everyone relax and unwind. For $200, visitors receive a 50-minute deep-tissue massage, Salish Express facial, relaxing foot treatment, shampoo, and hair styling.
Treatments run from the 25-minute Salish Express Massage to the four-hour Renew Spa Package. Seven Inlets caters to dads with a Men’s Cedar Wild Sage manicure, haircut and style, Gentlemen’s facial, and assortment of scrubs, wraps, and massages.
The National Retail Federation estimates that Father’s Day spending in 2018 will top $15 billion. But according to scientists, “There’s a very logical assumption that most people make when spending their money: that because a physical object will last longer, it will make us happier for a longer time than a one-off experience like a concert or vacation. According to recent research, it turns out that assumption is completely wrong.”
They stress that “rather than buying the latest iPhone or a new BMW…you’ll get more happiness spending money on experiences like going to art exhibits, doing outdoor activities, learning a new skill, or traveling.”
At Little Creek, you can experience tribal art and dining, play a round of golf (or take a couple of lessons from the pros), and travel to a new place all on a single tank of gas. Isn’t that infinitely better than a new tie?
Little Creek is located at 91 West State Route 108 in Shelton. Call 800-667-7711 to book your overnight stay, 360-462-3673 to reserve a Salish Cliffs tee-time, or 360-462-1772 for the Seven Inlets Spa.
