Title: Have you ever went to a casino?
Post by: mrbizzard on May 21, 2014, 08:20:14 am
If yes, where did you go, what was the experience, and would you go back there again?

If no, would you  like to visit one?

We have a few Reservation-run casinos here in MN, so I've been to a few in the state. Mystic Lake is the one that I like the best, although Treasure Island is closer to where I live. I have also been to Casino Niagara in Ontario. Usually when I go, I just play black-jack at the tables since they tend to have the best odds and there is both skill and luck involved. One of the horse tracks also has a poker room that I went to once (during the poker craze on TV), but after trying that I realized I just am not that great of a poker player (I guess it was really easy to read my tells, as someone pointed out after I left the table); it is much different playing poker on-line than it is in person.

I have been to a few, went many times to Deadwood South Dakota which was so cool, set in the Old West theme, and great history to the area too

I have been to a couple in Michigan too.

But its been about 15 years since Ive been to one, while I LOVE to go, I have never won, so Im just wasting money :)

Yes I have been to several but I go to relieve my stress. My hubby and I go to the casino just to have fun but if we win money it is just used for the next time we go down to the casino. I don't ever expect to get rich there because I play it like they are video games. I love video games.

I'm not much of a gambler, but every once in a while I'll go to one of those Indian casinos that are prevalent out here in southern California. Every few years we'll go to Las Vegas. I like to sight-see and walk the strip and eat more so than gamble. :P

I've never been to casino and don't plan on going to one. I'd lose all my money at the slot machines.

Funny thing about going to a casino - when I was 19 I went on a cruise.  I took $1.00 into the casino and played quarter slots.  After loosing it in less than 5 min. I couldn't see what the fun was all about.  The next time I was in a casino I was pregnant and 21.  I spent the afternoon walking around - bored.  It's just not my cup of tea.

I have not, and I don't think going to one would be a good idea for me. The slot games online (with fake money) are addicting enough.

I have been going to casinos since I was a little kid as I use to play at the provided arcade and do things in the resort stay (ski). I've also been gambling (but infrequent) ever since I hit the legal age of 21.

I went to Harrah's Casino a couple of years ago.... LOVED IT!  It is here in NC.  But, I did go to Vegas several years ago and it was a blast.  Would love to go back!   8)

I don't gamble, but I used to live in Vegas.  I lived behind the Imperial Palace so I'd cut through their lobby and cross over to do my banking at the ATM in Caesar's.  I checked out some of the acts and buffets to but only played a few nickel slots a couple times.

These days I live in NM and we had a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, until June 2013, so I went there with my camera before it changed back to Isletta.

Many many times, though not in quite a few years. I've never been much of a gambler, but it is entertaining to go to a casino and play a little and see the sights.

i love going to casinos i think it a great weekend getaway for my husband and myself and we only take a set limit with us and no more.  ever since we had our son however we havent been able to go hes going to be 19 months old in a couple of days and i am hoping he will start to sleep through the night so that he can stay at grandmas and grandpas so mommie and daddy can sneak away for a night.

Yes, I have gone to different casinos in Vegas. I had a blast and I made all my money back and I didn't even really spend a lot of money.

We went to casino most of the time.  But are purpose is to go for their buffet.  I think the price is right and sometime we get it for free with our free play.

My husband and I went to Las Vegas one time many years ago with a company trip.  We enjoyed the lights and the glamour of the area.  I played a few "one-armed bandits" for fun.....no winner here!

I'm the worst sort of gambler because if I get even $5 over what I put in the machine, I feel compelled to cash out.  "Quit while you're ahead!"  We went to Las Vegas last year for my husband's military convention and I enjoyed playing the poker machines.  Yes, I would go back and we did, twice in one year!!!  But it was not in order to gamble.  Getting to play a few poker machines is just a fun sideline.

I've been to a couple casinos. I would go back, but I don't think it is anything that I must do again.

I have never actually been in a casino but have stood where they stand now in Atlantic City.  My aunt & uncle had a beach house in Atlantic City that they had to sell when the casinos were being built.  They didn't really want to sell but you can't turn some people down when they want your property.

I did not like going to a casino, I feel very sorry for the people that will spend all of their money there.

Yes I have been to many casinos. I am from Nevada so we have a lot of casinos in the general area. I never personally had a bad experience with one and some of them I think are rather nice. I do not gamble but I like to take advantage of other services the casinos provide such as shows and dining. One of my favorite casinos is The Luxor in Las Vegas, I absolutely love the pyramid and Egyptian theme they do.

Yeah I've went up to the state line Prime-Valley Resorts Casinos a few times. I'm not much of a gambler but they have alot u you can do and choose from. I do love playing slots though. They even have a big roller coaster on the property that is pretty cool. Even dirt bikes & atvs you can rent to ride or bring your own to ride as well. Now there's a gold course the casino just keeps getting bigger and better. Ps the foods to die for & also if your a country fan they always book country singers

I went to Atlantic City and lost $20 in less than an hour. After that my excitement of being at the casino left me immediately.  Not realizing what was going on, someone had left change in a slot machine I was about to sit there and some woman started talking to me. Next thing I know she was sitting at the slot machine that I was about to sit. I felt like I got jacked even thought the money wasn't really mines to begin with.

But I'm glad I went to know what it was all about.

We went to Las Vegas a couple of years ago, and it was a lot of fun. We visited a lot of casinos, and it was one memorable trip.

Yes many moons ago. Went to Las Vegas Monte Carlo for my honeymoon.

Good old times when real quarters used to come out of the slot machines.

I love going to the casino. I have gone to many here in Michigan; have gone to Vegas too. It's a great time, but you can't go hoping to win that big jackpot; go just for fun!

No, and I've never had the interest to go. It doesn't seem worth it to me, and there are a lot of other fun things to do.
