Grand Gateway Hotel  

At the crossroads of Interstate 90 and LaCrosse St (exit 59) in Rapid City, South Dakota, minutes from the airport and just a short drive to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and the Badlands. About 12 miles from Rapid City Regional Airport and roughly 3 km from downtown, with Wall Drug, Sturgis, Deadwood and Devil's Tower within easy day trips. A casino hotel that is both family-friendly and pet-friendly.

The hotel has 132 air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators, microwaves, in-room safes and TVs. Private bathrooms feature shower/tub combinations and hair dryers, and non-smoking rooms are available. The vibe is lively and slightly retro casino-hotel — think arcade, playrooms for kids and nightly live entertainment at the lounge.

Make a splash in the indoor pool and 130-foot waterslide, or sink into the hot tub/spa tub — splash-ready for families. There's a fitness center, casino, nightclub, arcade, table tennis and picnic area. Complimentary wireless internet, free self-parking, concierge and a tour desk keep stays smooth, and an area shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Flexible event space with about 12,000 sq ft of conference and meeting rooms, plus a business center and express check-out. Free self-parking onsite and an airport shuttle are available (shuttle for a surcharge).

Perkins restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with cooked-to-order breakfasts available daily. Cheer's Lounge is the bar for drinks and nightly live entertainment, and limited room service is offered.
