Sometimes, you want to go on a Las Vegas adventure, but you have a job and you can’t just fly to Las Vegas at the drop of a hat. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be a little impetuous. You can take off the day, or take a weekend day, and head to ilani, the Cowlitz casino in Ridgefield. Ilani opened in 2017 and brought gambling and gaming within 20 miles of Portland. Ilani is a clean, smoke-free casino. While it may not have some of the amenities and over-the-top attractions that you would find in Nevada, there’s plenty to entertain you for several hours, a day or even longer. 📹: @lizzyacker #ilani #casino #oregon #theoregonian #thingstodo #daycation
