When it comes to crafting a rewarding incentive trip, iconic properties like Tulalip Resort Casino, an AAA Four-Diamond resort between Vancouver and Seattle, know how to balance the needs of meeting planners and the cravings of their attendees. Tulalip’s full menu of amenities and activity options, from spa to casino to dining, keeps groups entertained in one place, and a long list of complimentary services and perks, like free Wi-Fi and parking, means planners can do more with less. From the lobby’s 25-foot, hand-carved

house posts to the ancient tribal techniques used during treatments at T Spa, the tra- ditions of the Tulalip Tribes can be found throughout the resort. For example, gaming has long been a Tulalip tradition, and the 192,000-square-foot casino offers the most cash back of any Northwest casino and is packed with more than 2,400 of the newest slots. Nightly entertainment is another local tradition, and Canoes Cabaret showcases

Later this year, the resort will add three new dining options — The Draft Sports Bar and Grill, Jour- neys East, and the new Lobby Lounge. And every November, the resort hosts the Taste of Tulalip, the region’s premier culinary event, with wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, and seminars. For retreats that aim to rejuvenate, the

full-service T Spa has 16 treatment rooms and 14,000 square feet of space packed with ame- nities like cedar saunas, grotto showers, and a fitness center. Visitors who want to experi- ence more Tulalip Tribal culture can visit the nearby 23,000-square-foot Hibulb Cultural
