If you are looking for a relaxing weekend with the girls, let me make some recommendations for you. Check into your room and get settled, remember—comfort is key. Wash off your makeup and toss your hair up and out of your face. Make your way down to Spa Habitat, and get ready to be wowed! When you are booking your appointment, you can choose from all kinds of options. The spa packages are my personal favorite, like the “Green Freak.” This package is a full day at the spa (4.5 hours) and is complete with: organic massage, organic facial, foot ritual, eco buff, lunch, and a signature organic robe for you to take home. If you are planning a weekend with the girls, they even offer spa parties. It’s worth looking into.
After the relaxing day at the spa, you have some options. If you all feel like a night on the town, get dolled up and hit the Casino for shopping, dinner, and drinks. My favorite store, Le Fleur, located in the Paris area of the Casino is the place to be. If you are looking for awesome designers like: Kate Spade, Brighton, True Religion, and more—this place is like heaven on earth! After all of that shopping, you will be ready for dinner. Being a steak girl myself, I had to check out The Grill at WinStar located at the bottom of WinStar Hotel. After dinner, you can visit Rome, Paris, and Beijing all in one night—it’s not every day that you can say that. After you have walked around the world, you will be ready for drinks. The place to do that on the weekends is Mist. You can hit the dance floor and watch the DJ on the turntables.
If staying in and having girl time is at the top of your list, toss on your comfortable clothes and spa robe and order room service. You can take your pick from menu items 24 hours a day. Now, that sounds pretty good to me if I do say so myself!
Staying at WinStar World Casino and Resort has something to offer for everyone. If you are looking to get away with your sweetie, there are options for you. All you have to mention is “27-hole championship golf course,” and he will be sold! This golf course was designed by pros and played by pros. There is something for every skill level—even if your man isn’t a pro golfer. Just so you know, WinStar Golf was also named “Best Golf Course” in Chickasaw Country, so you know it’s good. Let him hit up the golf course while you enjoy a day at the spa. By doing that, everyone is happy! Before summer gets here and schedules start to get hectic, book a trip and enjoy your stay!

WinStar World Casino and Resort is an American tribal casino and hotel located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, near the Oklahoma–Texas state line. It is owned and operated by the Chickasaw Nation. The casino opened as the WinStar Casinos in 2004, and was expanded (with a 395-room hotel tower) and renamed WinStar World Casino in 2009; its 370,000 square feet (34,000 m2) of casino floor made it the world's largest casino.[2] In August 2013, WinStar Resorts completed a major expansion project, which added a new 1000-room second hotel tower that was divided into two phases; this also added a new casino that is attached to the tower.
