Casino Locations
Casinos have pretty much entered every state and province in North America. The only places where there are not casinos at this time are the states of Utah and Texas. We believe that every other state in the US now has casinos of some size. They vary a great deal in terms of size. Hotels are attached to nearby amenities. They are offered as part of the package. Most are run by local state or provincial governments or Indian bands. There are a few locations such as Las Vegas, Laughlin, Biloxi and Atlantic city where there are concentrations of casinos.
Major Locations
The major casino locations are as follows based on numbers of casinos operating in close proximity:
- Las Vegas, NV
- Tunica, MS
- Atlantic City, NJ
- Laughlin, NV
- Biloxi, MS
- Detroit, MI and Windsor, Canada
- Niagara Falls, Canada and the State of New York
All other casino locations are single casinos or perhaps with two or three casinos in the general area. Some states and provinces will actually have many casinos such as Ontario, Canada. There is only one casino per city. Most government run casinos are not very competitive. They are not interested in introducing competition into a city.
The list of casino locations above, are the mega places that attract gamblers from across the country every year. Las Vegas, Tunica, Atlantic City and Laughlin have concentrations of casinos that allow patrons to walk from casino to casino. Biloxi, Detroit, Windsor and Niagara Falls require patrons to get into their cars to get from one casino to another. Detroit – Windsor and Niagara falls require patrons to actually have to cross the border. This is is not very interesting for many gamblers.
Casino Locations – Las Vegas
Las Vegas is by far the mega gambling power house with over 100,000 hotel rooms available. Many millions of customers coming to the city every year to see excellent shows, partake in excellent dining and gamble. Atlantic city until recently was another hot spot with many people coming to the area. They enjoy the beaches as well as gamble and enjoy the fine dining and entertainment. The recent mega storm that went through the area caused a lot of damage. It will take them a few years to repair all of the damage.
Laughlin is along the Colorado River in southern Nevada and has about 10 casinos. It is one of the nicest casino locations. You can relax, enjoy gambling and fine dining with mid range entertainment. There are also several casinos that require patrons to get into their cars to drive to.
Biloxi used to have many small casinos; however it is still recovering from hurricane Katrina. They are now operating. This is a great place to enjoy the beaches . Also the sun along the cost of the Golf of Mexico in the state of Mississippi.
Windsor and Detroit have competing casinos now with several on the Detroit side. They are really stand alone casinos. We included them as a cluster due to their proximity.
