If someone on your team tries to make this a thing...do not apologize for using that term. Like another poster said, the tribes themselves call them Indian casinos. Tell them to google Indian casino and they will find links to actual casinos calling themselves Indian casinos right there on their websites.Muy said:

It's not "feather" or "dot" any more. The more accurate term is "casino" or "hotel".

But I'm even sure anymore.
We live in a country that says "pregnant woman" is an offensive term.

I work for an 'Indian' Casino. The preferred term is 'Tribal Casino', but most folks around here, even in the tribe, don't care if you call it an Indian casino, as long as you are gambling.

Except we do have Indian casinos.Guppy91 said:
Q from Canadian passer by: No Indian casinos in Texas? Why not?
Because in Texas we managed to eradicate the American Indian completely.
