Howdy...thanks @SoCalRob for tagging me.
I like CW...as Rob said, it's kinda small, but good slot variety. I don't care for the buffet there, would rather eat somewhere in town. Lincoln City is nice, usually windy, at least the days I've been haha. I think there are outlet stores nearby.
Where exactly will your friend be during their visit? Might look into Spirit Mountain in Grande Ronde too...plenty of slots and better dining. That would be driving from Lincoln City inland towards Salem.
