Coushatta's entertainment calendar features concerts, comedy shows, and special events year-round. The resort also offers a championship golf course, a full-service spa, and an outdoor pool complex.
Visitor Tips: The drive from Houston takes about 2 hours via I-10 East and US-165 North. Sign up for the Coushatta Advantage card before playing. The Seven Clans Buffet is best on Friday and Saturday nights when the premium items (crab legs, prime rib) are featured. The RV resort is excellent and offers hookups and amenities. Midweek visits offer shorter wait times and better hotel rates.
