Why Casino Resorts Are the Best Weekend Getaway Option

I have often wonder why casino resorts seem to be one of the least popular destinations for a weekend getaway. They can be as relaxing as a beach trip, more entertaining than dinner and a movie, and more affordable than you think. If you are looking for a quick getaway, read these three reasons why they are one of the best options for some weekend fun.

They are affordable (and potentially profitable).

Visiting a casino resort can be one of the cheapest options for a weekend getaway out there, and could even be profitable with a little good luck. Unlike regular hotels (which only make money when people buy rooms), casino resorts make money when people shop, drink, dine, gamble, visit the spa, and buy tickets to entertainment events, in addition to selling hotel rooms. That is why they typically offer cheaper rates than regular hotels. In addition, the rooms are designed to be "resort" style, and are by far one of the nicest hotel stays you can get at a low price (they would often cost about $ 150- $ 200 a night at a comparable hotel).

In addition to comps on rooms, you can also save on food and gambling through casino promotions. Almost all casinos give away free stuff to their new players. All you have to do is sign up for a free player's card to receive their latest promotion, which could be anything from free food, free table game or slot play, prizes, entries into drawings or contests, a discounted room, or a combination of all of these things! After your stay, they will send you free offers in the mail and a monthly newsletter. The more you play, the better the offers they send your way.

They have several delicious dining options.

Nearly all casino resorts have a buffet, a diner / deli, a cafe, and a nice steak / seafood restaurant. Some places also offer other types of dining options like a sushi restaurant, a sports bar, or a pizzeria. You can literally eat at a different place for every meal during your weekend stay without leaving the building! There will always be a bar, often multiple bars, and in some cases a nightclub and live music.

They offer lots of shopping and entertainment options.

There will always be a gift shop, and many times there will be other types of small shops as well, like a menswear shop, a jewelry store, or a cigar lounge. There are also several types of entertainment offered as an alternative to gambling, like a pool and hot tub, a sauna or spa, a golf course and pro shop, and a large venue for hosting concerts and shows.

You do not have to fly to Las Vegas or Atlantic City either; casino resorts are located all over the country. Do a search for one in your area. Chances are you are only a few hours drive from one at most. Book a room and have a great weekend!
