I'm a gambler. I buy pretty crankbaits, betting that a fish will like what I like. The House of Rapala nearly always wins.

Another ghost thread revived by a bot with an attached questionable link. I doubt the OP needs directions anymore since his post was from 3+ years ago.

Not much difference between donating your entertainment dollars to a casino verses the local movie theater. Have you seen what they charge for popcorn! LOL
Use it for whatever kind of fun you choose.

I thought i'd get this type of reply. My wife and I have given way more than we probably should to the local charity(s).



I will be on vacation and please don't try to make me feel bad.

Enjoy, I think you got your answer and then some. Haha!

If you prefer cards or ponies, I'd go to Canterbury Park instead of Mystic Lake! I believe they run a shuttle between the two.

Missmolly,
Your sickness is so yesterday! I’ve moved on. I now gamble on Megabass Dark Sleepers. Fish absolutely crush them but at $6 a pop it hurts when they swim off with my jig. Try them you’ll be hooked!

Sorry for that insufferable response. Ugh.


Mystic Lake is really a pretty nice casino. If you play blackjack, there are almost always some low-stakes options open. Also, regardless of the stakes, I've never really gotten the "you're screwing up MY cards" vibe from other players. That's always driven me nuts over the years.


The food is pretty good as well. You can get alcohol there now, provided that's okay with big brother1958.


Good luck and stay away from the ATMs!

To get to Mystic Lake, go west on Co. Rd. 42 from Cedar Ave in Apple Valley(Hwy. 77), go through about 7 stoplights, go over 35W, go through another 12 or so stoplights, look for the lights in the shape of a tee-pee in the sky on the right side. There is also signage. Its kinda out in the boonies, but just stay on 42 and you will be all right.

I don't do casinos. Can drive right by one and never give it a thought; because I won't be going inside. Not gonna happen.............


Only gambling I ever enjoyed was playing nickel, dime, quarter poker with a group of friends and buddies. Really miss our monthly game; haven't done that in about 15 years.


Other people can do as they choose; I could care less.

Someone has to help pay the dealer's rent! Nothing wrong with throwin some chips!


I've always wanted to go to the one closest to Ely. Yet to make it happen. Too busy thinking about monster walleye.

Mystic Lake or Treasure Island would be best from Apple Valley.


I love when people try to tell others how to spend their well earned money. I don't gamble myself, but enjoy yourself if that's what ya like.

Spend $20 at a casino or spend $20 at your local mexican chain restaurant. Either way both are a gamble.

We usually stay in the Apple Valley area on the trip up. Just wanted to know if there are any Casinos in the area that I can lose my $20 at that you would recommend?

Instead of donating your money to the casino, you can send me a check for that amount. I will go and buy some food and donate it to the local food shelf.

If you are starting out at Apple Valley, Mystic Lake is the closest, about 6-7 miles away. Treasure Island is about 35 miles away. Both very nice.
