Can anyone give me any information about the new Downstream casino in OK? I thought it was in MO, but have learned it is actually in OK. Anyone eaten at the buffet, do they have a friday night seafood buffet? Right now the website is pretty sketchy....we plan on going there this coming Friday.

Thanks for your help

Nita

Got N at the Baxter Springs, KS off East Bound 1-44 to the roundabout and follow the road to the casino. There are also casino in Miami, Commerce, Grove and I think the name of the town in Seneca, MO. It's a MO/OK border town on US 60.

If you want to go farther north thereis casino near KC,, ST Joseph, MO, Columbia, MO and at St. Louis. Also at Tulsa and somewhere areoun Siloam Springs.

Sorry, I should've just added this to my other post~

So if someone works at that casino, which state do you pay your state income tax to? I have a friend who lives on the Kansas/Missouri border~lives in one state and works in the other. She has to pay state tax to BOTH states.

interesting:::I would think she would pay only the state she lives in, but I have heard of this before: seems sort of unfair. As for Grove, we were there about a year ago and the had just the one casino with talk of another. The one that had was just so;so...

I can go one weirder. When I was a kid in STL, anyone who lived in STL county and worked in the city [or vice versa] had to register their cars in both places, and pay taxes in both. The double registration was easy to spot, there were stick-on tags that went on the windshields. The city itself isn't in any county, it's officially designated a Port of Entry, and is a politically separate entity. They won't have changed that, but the registration and tax thing probably has by now.

Nita, thanks for the answer. That's kind of a bummer cause they were planning on building a new casino and also a new resort there. Maybe some day.

Kari, you're right. Your situation is even stranger then my friend's situation. It really doesn't seem fair and that's what made me curious about how you'd pay state income tax if you worked at that casino.

Jammie, are you talking about the resort with condos etc? If so, I dont' think that ever got off the ground. They needed to see so many lots or homes to build. It was being built by a very big and luxury company: I don't think it is dead, but on hold until the economy picks up again.

When we decided to re-locate to Bella vista Ar, it was a toss up between Grove and NWA.

Jammie, have your friend check with the taxation departments of both of those states. When I worked in the taxation department in NJ, we had many people who worked in NJ and lived in PA or NY, or vice versa. There was a credit they could take on their taxes for the taxes they paid to the other state, so there was no double taxing. In fact, I think double taxing is illegal. Have her or him check.
