The Grand Olympic Casino is three stories of "floating" entertainment, plus an underwater parking structure and a rooftop pool area. It floats on a man-made island about a half-mile from the coast, accessible by a two-lane bridge for car-traffic (with a guard-shack on the land-side where people can pay for parking) or via a short boat ride from the docks. The exterior has a small, asphalt-paved landing where a valet is happy to park cars or boats. The building itself is bone-white, with a slightly castellated architecture that really succeeds in making it stick out like a sore thumb in the harbor, especially at night when its millions of twinkling lights turn it into a floating beacon out there.
The interior of the Casino is ornate - not quite all the glittering trappings of Vegas, but it's pretty swanky for a casino in Washington State. Plush carpets, glittering lights, and multiple several felt-topped tables, dozens and dozens of slot machines, a couple or roulette wheels, craps tables - just all the trappings of gambling, from nickel slots to high stakes poker. There are also several restaurants and a couple of bars. Branching out from the casino floor, the two wings of the hotel boast one hundred and one guest rooms, plus four penthouse suites.
