Prairie Wind Casino & Hotel is owned and operated by the Oglala Sioux Tribe. At Prairie Wind you can enjoy a high energy casino atmosphere, stay-over at the hotel, dine at Winds of Change restaurant or catch a live show for fun entertainment.
Since 1994, Prairie Wind Casino & Hotel has had the goal of being southwestern South Dakota’s premier entertainment destination, and, since our humble beginnings, we are pleased to say that we are now reviewed as the top-rated casino and hotel in the region!
Prairie Wind Casino & Hotel is located just 10 minutes east of Oelrichs, SD (junction of Hwy 385 and Hwy 18) on Highway 18. Or, if you’re coming from the east on Highway 18, it’s just 10 minutes west of Oglala, SD, or 25 minutes west of Pine Ridge, SD.
The entire area around Prairie Wind Casino & Hotel is filled with breathtaking vistas, wonders of nature and the pure beauty of the South Dakota prairie. The Black Hills are just to the northwest of Prairie Wind, and the Badlands of South Dakota are found to our northeast. Be sure to plan some extra time to your visit to explore all of nature’s wonders!
