Lakeside Casino at a glance: quick tips and what’s on

Promotional graphic for Lakeside Casino: exterior, performance venue, casino floor, guests; warm colors.

You checked into The Jeffreys, set up your room, dinner’s done, and you’ve got a free evening. If you’re casino-curious, Lakeside is close, easy to navigate, and surprisingly varied. Think lounge bands, the occasional comedy night, a steady promo calendar, and a solid on-site restaurant.


What’s on

  • Live Music Saturdays in the Sports Lounge run through September 2025, typically 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Recent listings include Garrett & The Relics, BRNT, Mudpuppies, and Robert Yeltman.
  • Preacher Lawson from America’s Got Talent is slated for Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 7 p.m. in the Lakeside Event Center. Limited availability.
  • Rotating promos and food features appear on the Promos page, like the $2,500 Wheel Kiosk Game, Affinity at 50, Sunday Champagne Brunch, and seasonal menu items. Check the page day-of so you don’t miss a deal. Lakeside Hotel Casino
  • Planning ahead, October through winter tends to fill in month-by-month. Keep an eye on the Events list for late-year lounge acts, holiday promos, and early 2026 adds.


Poker and table games

Slots, video poker, and table games like blackjack and craps are standard. If you’re chasing poker tournaments, call first... recent third-party listings don’t show active tournaments on the calendar.


Parking, RVs, and getting there + dining tips

Set your map to 777 Casino Drive, Osceola. There’s ample on-site parking and an RV Park next door with full hookups. Winter note: park water is shut off starting Dec 1 with potable water available at the north end. Some listings note a property shuttle ... ask the hotel desk for current details.


West Lake Bar & Grill is on site and newly renovated. Posted hours show lunch Fri–Mon 11 a.m.–4 p.m. and dinner Sun–Thu 4–9 p.m., Fri–Sat 4–10 p.m. It’s a reliable pre-show or post-slots stop.


Quieter times

If you want lower crowds, try weekday afternoons outside meal hours. For shows and lounge music, arrive early to park, confirm your spot, and settle in. The Events and FAQs pages are the quickest way to verify last-minute changes.


If you’re staying at our hotel at The Jeffreys Hotel Extended Stay, Lakeside makes for an easy night out... a band, a bite, maybe a comedy set... then it’s back to a clean, quiet, affordable room when you’re ready to call it.
