Spirit Mountain Resort

This choice is for all the gamblers amongst you. Spirit Mountain Casino is a massive Native American casino resort that is located in Grande Road on Oregon Route 18.

Elsinore Theatre

If you’ve missed getting out to see live entertainment, then first on your list to visit for a riveting night out should be the Elsinore Theatre which is located on the High Street of our very own Salem.

If you’ve been before, then make sure to head back, and if you’ve never been, then there’s never been a greater time to go, as the entertainment industry has, unfortunately, suffered badly this last year.

Thankfully though, things are back on the up and if you check out https://elsinoretheatre.com/ then you can check out all the fantastic shows and events that are showing soon. The history of the theatre is fascinating, with the building being built in 1926 by then owner George Guthrie to resemble the castle in the city of Elsinore from William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet.

It was shortly after leased to Warner Brothers, who operated the place as a movie theatre until 1951. From that point on, the grand location, sadly, fell into a steady decline becoming nothing more than a second rate place to catch a movie.

The building was due to be demolished in 1980, but thanks to several incredible grassroots campaigns the theatre was saved, and finally, in 2002 a deal was made to restore the structure to its previous magnificence.

The work was completed in the summer of 2004 and since then it has been a mainstay of performing arts and musical excellence. Don’t miss out on a magical experience at this grand setting.
