Dakota Dunes Casino

Just 20 minutes outside the nearest city, Saskatoon, this is the only casino in the area. With shuttles heading out to Whitecap from the town and a large parking lot, there are several ways to get to the entertainment.  The casino features a restaurant and a high-limit room and often hosts concerts and events. Like most casinos, alcohol is served; therefore, the establishment is 19+ by local laws.  This Casino is managed by Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority.
