The first city that comes to mind when it comes to land-based gambling in the United States is Las Vegas. Americans, as well as tourists from Europe and elsewhere, travel to Sin City every year to enjoy the vibrant nightlife, amazing entertainment opportunities, but mostly to fulfill their need for gambling thrills. Not all of them know that Las Vegas is located in Nevada, and that this is not the only city in this state where they can gamble in land-based casinos legally.
Reno and Lake Tahoe have plenty to offer to those who enjoy gambling but want to take a break from the busy Las Vegas. The easy access to brick-and-mortar casinos and the fact that these places capture the very essence of the Wild West frontier makes them particularly attractive. There’s no shortage of Reno-based casinos and even though they pale in comparison to the biggest venues in Sin City, they radiate an unmistakable charm. Eldorado, Atlantis and Peppermill are just a few of the casinos worth visiting one in Reno, while Harveys Lake Tahoe, Montblue and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino await in Lake Tahoe.
New Jersey casinos struggle to stay afloat
Atlantic City used to be the main destination for gamblers, well before Las Vegas came around. The iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk continues to attract people from all over the country, as well as foreigners, but in ever decreasing numbers. Many years ago, this used to be a great destination for legal gambling, but it has lost most of its charm and it is now simply struggling to stay afloat. Online gambling is legal in the state of New Jersey, which has embraced sports betting regulation, but those who want to experience the thrills of traditional casinos have to go to Atlantic City. Caesar’s Atlantic City, Sands Casino and Tropicana are some of the worthy choices.
Discover the hidden gems of Mississippi
Mississippi isn’t the first state that people would visit when they want to embark on a gambling vacation. Having said this, the state has the third largest casino gambling market nationwide, one that started more than three decades ago. The iconic riverboat casinos continue to act as a magnet for many people who want to gamble in a truly unique setting. There are significantly fewer options compared to both Las Vegas and Atlantic City, but what it lacks in numbers, Mississippi compensates through originality. Silver Slipper Sasino, Margaritaville and Bally’s Tunica attract most of the visitors on a yearly basis.
Gamble in sunny California and Florida
The two southern states are famous for many things but land-based casinos are not necessarily at the top of the list. This makes it particularly surprising that there are more than 100 casinos in California, many of them on Indian reservations. These are all perfect choices for those who enjoy table games, as the emphasis is on games of skills, such as baccarat, blackjack and Pai Gow. There are dozens of land-based casinos in the Sunshine State and these establishments accept anyone above 18 years old.
