Northwest Casino Travel Map
Ever watchful for promising opportunities, it took entrepreneurial Spokane publisher Vicki Dar little more than a chat with her daughter to come up with her latest product, the recently introduced Northwest Casino Travel Map.
The six-panel folding chart, printed on heavy stock with a plastic-like coating and priced at $6.95, shows the locations and some of the amenities of the more than 50 tribal casinos in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. It also lists addresses, phone numbers, and Web sites for the casinos, and offers a few tips for creating an enjoyable gambling trip.
Dar is producing the map through her 24-year-old Spokane-based company, Eagle Publishing, which has served as her launching pad for several other publications she no longer owns, and has set up a Web site, ILuvCasinos.com, to support its distribution.
She says she hopes to begin customizing the maps soon for tribes that want to have their casinos featured prominently, on its cover, and expects to launch by early next year a monthly magazine focused on Northwest casino happenings.
Her new venture is targeted at tribal-gaming enthusiasts who also like to travel, yet Dar admits she’s never been to the gambling mecca of Las Vegas and “had hardly stepped into a casino” until a few years ago
