Just a few miles from the Oregon border, Trinidad, California overlooks the ocean and is close to Redwood National Park. The town may be secluded from the big cities, but it makes up for that with its closeness to nature and for the Cher-Ae Heights Casino. Come to visit the Redwood forests during the day and then catch all the gaming action at night.
The Cher-Ae Heights Casino is open 24-hours a day and was recently expanded to include an 800-seat Bingo hall that nicely compliments their already fine selection of 350 gaming machines and 14 gaming tables. Pull the lever of a slot machine, make your bets on video Poker or enjoy the tactile feel of real cards at one of the gaming tables. Whatever you want to play, you won’t have much trouble finding it at Cher-Ae Heights. Best of all, there are regular contests and drawings for great products like LCD televisions, cash and casino points.
Need a place to stay? Try the Bishop Pine Lodge, only five-minutes from the casino, where you’ll find 13 modern cabins set back on a quiet country road. Bishop Pine Lodge is a great choice if you’re bringing children and pets as there is a large yard to play in and explore. Each cabin has a rustic feel, but they are exquisitely maintained and very clean. Also close by is the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites, a 70-room modern facility with modern amenities, high-speed Internet access and satellite television.
