Hyatt properties with on-site casino, or casino nearby
 

Hi everyone, can anyone recommend some Hyatt properties in North America (incl. Caribbean) with either an on-site casino or a casino that is nearby? I am aware of HR Aruba. I had a trip planned to Las Vegas, but with the COVID situation there I would like to go somewhere else, but still would like to get in some gambling.

Thanks!

HR Lake Tahoe has a casino on-site. It's about a 10 minute drive to a couple more casinos in Crystal Bay and maybe 40-45 minutes to several more at Stateline, on the south end of the lake.

GH Baha Mar

It's not exactly aspirational - but the Hyatt Rosemont (by ORD) is across the street from Rivers Casino (a decently sold one IMO)...the HR is an extra mile away but is a ton nicer.

Nicer - Encore just outside Boston is IMO the nicest US casino outside Vegas...a few different Hyatt properties in Boston to choose from (though not sure which if any aren't open)

A shame Ocean is no longer part of the chain, that was a great option.

Hyatt Place Biloxi, Near a handful of Gulf Coast Casinos

The Eliza Jane, New Orleans only a 4-5 minute walk from Harrah’s New Orleans

If one isn't going to Vegas due to COVID-19, I wouldn't expect anywhere along the gulf coast to be a more acceptable alternative.

Hyatt Place National Harbor is near the MGM casino in Maryland. The casino is pretty nice and appears to be open.

I was just in Vegas and it’s WAY more crowded than Gulf Coast Casinos right now. I’d definitely go to a Gulf Cost Casino right now, the only major downside for me is the heat and humidity is unbearable.

Anyways, just providing options.

Hyatt Place Niagara Falls is a 5 minute walk from the Seneca Niagara Casino.

HR Cleveland. One of Architectural Digest's 20 best hotel lobbies in the world. 3 minute walk to the Jack casino which is open.

HR Tamaya (spelling?) in NM is located on an Indian reservation and run by the tribe. (There's a small but good cultural museum just outside of the main entrance.) There's a casino on the reservation, but it's not easily walkable from the hotel, IIRC several miles by small secondary roads within the reservation and I didn't notice a shuttle service.

I'd think also about Hyatt properties near riverboat casinos, for instance in New Orleans and St Louis, although New Orleans has casinos on the ground too.

One could also think of major or regional casinos and try to find the nearest Hyatt: Atlantic City might be Princeton or Philadelphia, Bridgeport CN has a newish HP in New Haven, upstate NY might lead to a HR in Syracuse, Indian casinos in MN would be Hyatts in the Twin Cities (HP Eden Prairie might be closest), there's an Indian casino off of Wisconsin state route 29 where HR in Green Bay (less than an hour by car) would be closest, three HPs near Des Moines are about two hours on I-35 to the casino at the Iowa welcome/roadside rest center at the MN/Iowa border, etc. but these are unlikely to satisfy the OP's idea of nearby.

The HP Ft Lauderdale Airport is 12 minutes from the Hard Rock Seminole Miami in SE Florida.

The HP Tampa Busch Gardens is 17 minutes from the Hard Rock Seminole Tampa in NW Florida.

The HR Louisville is 20 minutes from Caesars Southern Indiana.

You have not been to Crystal Bay for awhile.

Not since our stay at HR Lake Tahoe in March. What's changed since then ?

There is no casino in the entire continent that I would consider "safe from COVID". Far too many people in a confined indoor space and any responsible government would have them shut down. But of course maybe you are considering "gambling" with your life as well as your money.
