The large murals cover three tall walls of the dining area in the casino’s newest wing.
I started to say, “I suppose you’ll want …”Īnd Vince added, “Fries too.” One casino worker said of the new murals: “Every time you come you see something you didn’t see before.” (photo by Geoff O’Gara) Then he added, gesturing to the guard behind him, “And one for him too.” He’s a white-haired, round-faced Arapaho man with a rolling gait, and as we made our way through the dinging slot machines, he said, “This is going to cost you a cheeseburger.” Each security person who looked me over called for someone higher up the chain, until finally the top dog, Vince Blake, walked me back toward the closed new dining area where the murals will shortly be unveiled. I ran a security gantlet to get a look at wall murals in a new addition to the Wind River Casino outside of Riverton.
