According to the Gaming Business Directory, published by Casino City Press, the largest casino in Las Vegas is MGM Grand, at 170,000 square feet of gambling. You could fit that casino floor 4.6 times over into Potowatomi Bingo Casino, in Milwaukee. That’s a behemoth, even by tribal standards, but the bigger tribal casinos make most of their private-sector rivals look comparatively puny. When compiling this Top 10, we quickly stopped counting tribal casinos with "only" less than 200,000 square feet of gambling area.
Drum roll, please ... the winners are:
Honorable mention goes to Chumash Casino Resort, in Santa Ynez, Calif., which camejustthisclose to the Top 10 with its 280,000-square-foot casino floor. Among Class II casinos, which offer only electronic bingo, Turtle Mountain Bingo Sky Dancer, in Belcourt, N.D., weighs in at a Godzilla-like 214,760 square feet, far outstripping anything in its category. But please don’t ask us for the average size of a tribal casino – there are 95 in Oklahoma alone!
