Do you like to go to casinos?  Do you have a favorite?

They're ok, not my favorite place to go though.  I've been to Atlantic City a few times, casino on our cruise... never been the one like 10 miles from our house.

H likes them, wants to go to the near our house.  We were planning on going to AC for our anniversery but the ER bill, and another unexpected bill (my sleep study) cleaned out our vacation fund.  Maybe we can go in the spring...

H is a huuugeeee fan, but I'm content playing the penny slots and sipping a beverage.  I will play for hours on the same $20, lol!

I could take them or leave them. I wouldn't go out of my way to seek one out. I do enjoy going, but I don't get out of control. We don't have any near our house, they are not legal in VA. So, our closest one is in West Virginia, not worth the drive to us.

I'm not a gambler, and locally I don't really go to casinos.  When I go I'll usually just have a few drinks and enjoy a band.

I do love Vegas though.  There are so many cool casinos there.  I don't gamble other than signing up for player's cards and using the promotional money.  Vegas is an adult playground and I am so excited to go again this weekend!!!

I don't have a preference either way. We have a big one about 20 minutes from us. I used to go there all the time, as they had the best food. And it was so cheap! But they have changed chef's and it's not good anymore. H likes to go everyone once in a while.

I've only been to a casino once...it was a video gaming casino at one of the racetracks in Saratoga. Casinos aren't really legal in NY...only on reservations and there's some video gaming places. I only played $20-30, and once that was gone...I was done.

I like casinos in small doses? I usually play some slots or watch H play poker, but I get bored pretty quickly. I'd usually rather people-watch in a casino than gamble.

I like to go to casinos but I usually only play the penny slots.  We usually go every year on a bus trip to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun in CT.  We are not going this year though.

I've been to AC a lot. Mostly for concerts and free dinners with my parents. I don't enjoy gambling (mostly because I lose). DH doesn't care for it either. We just use AC like I said, for concerts and food.

@mana8503, check out Groupon and Living Social for AC deals.  I've gotten a few good ones.  A while back I paid $200 for a weekend in the Taj Mahal's brand new tower.  If you can take time during the week I've seen some for like $50/night.

I'm not a super huge casino fan.  I like the atmosphere, all the excitement, but I don't like to lose my money.  I am a huge people watcher when I go.  I really go to Vegas for everything else.  When we go to Atlantic City, we go to relax and outlet shop or for concerts. 

I only go to Mohegan Sun to drive my grandma because she can't really take the bus there anymore.  I wander around and window shop while she has her fun.

The only time I've been to a casino was Atlantis when we were on our Honeymoon in the Bahamas. We set ourselves a limit and only played a couple of slots and computerized blackjack. I'd like to go again, but eh, it's just alright.
