If I'm feeling lucky, this is my #1 choice for slot fun! Yes, it's a bit of a drive (about 1.5 hours north), but when you get there, concerts, casino games, food, and my favorite Cigar Bar.
As I said, it does require a decision to drive, but the slots can be loose, food is good and fun can be had. Did I mention a very beautiful and challenging Golf course too?
