A sprawling, 700-room resort with lots of restaurants, three 18-hole golf courses (plus two par-9s), three pools, and two spas to complement the ringing slot machines, the Oneida Indian-run Turning Stone has accommodations for every price point and type of traveler. The casino hotel has standard rooms that are basic, but suites are large and come with upgraded amenities. The "tower" has dramatic, contemporary rooms and amenities such as balconies and fireplaces, not to mention great views of the rolling countryside from the upper floors. Most luxe is the "lodge," which feels like a separate resort. Heavy on wood and modern decor, the spacious suites here boast balconies, and some even have outdoor Jacuzzis. The most affordable options are down the road in the clean, comfortable "inn," a converted Super 8 that was completing an extensive renovation at press time; a free shuttle transports guests to the casino complex. Book a massage in the Skaná Spa -- it's a soothing environment with several treatment rooms, along with mineral baths and Jacuzzis. One snag: The resort had no liquor license, but guests can bring their own.
