The Skagit’s Health & Sanitation Guidelines
The Skagit Casino Resort is setting a new standard of entertainment with enhanced safety and cleaning measures. Here’s a look at some of the changes that we’ve implemented in order to make sure that our resort meets or exceeds CDC guidelines.
The Skagit Casino Resort is now a non-smoking casino floor.
The Winner’s Lounge and Star Lounge have been designated as the only players’ smoking areas in the casino. The doors will remain closed to prevent smoke from entering the casino floor, and we have re-engineered the ventilation system.
When You Arrive…
Accessing The Casino
Access to the casino will be restricted to the front main entrance. Guests will be asked to exit the casino using our southern set of doors to allow security to moderate the number of patrons in the building.
Other Updates…
The Pacific Showroom
Concerts in The Pacific Showroom are being postponed at this time.
The Winner’s Lounge / Star Lounge
The Skagit Winner’s & Star Lounges have been designated as the only players’ smoking areas in the casino.
The Skagit Hotel and The Skagit Ridge Hotel
The Skagit Hotel is open and reservations can be made for Thursday – Sunday night stays! The Skagit Ridge Hotel will remain closed until further notice.
While You’re Here…
Physical Distancing
Guests and employees shall practice physical distancing by standing a minimum of 6’ apart from one another. We will be operating at a reduced guest capacity limit to allow for optimal social distancing. Restaurants and bars have reduced seating capacities to allow for a minimum of six feet between each seated group/party of guests. Some slot machines have been disabled with the chairs removed to allow for physical separation between guests, and plexiglass partitions have been installed between our most popular games. Tobacco Shop entry is restricted to only one guest at a time.
Express Eats
Our Express Eats dining venue has been relocated to previous home of The Market Buffet, allowing for more room for social distancing. We are currently working on a long-term design which will allow us to feature a more extended menu selection.
Self Serve Beverage Stations
Self-service beverage stations will remain open. Complimentary soft drinks and coffee will be provided by beverage servers on the casino floor.
Hand Sanitizer
Over 100+ Hand sanitizer dispensers have been installed throughout the casino, hotel public areas, hotel corridors, reception areas, meeting rooms, restaurant entrances, and restroom entrances.
Cleaning Protocols
Skagit Valley Casino Resort has implemented both General and Specific Covid-19 Workplace Protocols (CWPPs) for its operations. The CWPPs are based upon the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Washington State Governor’s Office, and Washington State Department of Health. Further, our entire EVS team have received Certificate of Completions for numerous Coronavirus courses, courtesy of Casino Essentials.
The health and safety of our employees and guests is our number one priority.
