There are more than 1,500 casinos scattered across the face of this great nation, more than any other country on the planet. What does that say about us? It says we Americans love to gamble! The problem is with so many choices, which casino should we pick? USA Today recently conducted a poll to determine the best of the best, and they have announced their winner. Which casino is it? The winner will come as no surprise to most of you living in Southern California.
If you are one of the hundreds of YouTube viewers who eagerly check their computers every Wednesday morning to see who won the Native American VS LasVegas competition for the week, you can probably guess. For the past 20 weeks ShinobiYT and VegasLowRoller have engaged in their friendly competition to see which is the better place to play, Southern California or Las Vegas. ShinobiYT, who leads in the competition, frequently plays at Pechanga, Harrah’s Resort Southern California, and Barona. His opponent VegasLowRoller plays off-Strip in Las Vegas usually at the Cannery. Like the USA Today poll, their results confirm what we California players all know: not even Vegas can beat our Native American Indian casinos.
A panel of casino and gambling experts from Casino Player, Strictly Slots, and Abundant Travel magazines picked the 20 most deserving contestants for the USA Today poll, and readers chose the top ten over a four week period.
The top 10 winners in order are as follows:
1) Pechanga Resort & Casino - Temecula, CA
2) Mohegan Sun - Uncasville, Conn
3) Foxwoods Resort Casino - Mashantucket, Conn
4) L’Auberge Casino Resort - Lake Charles, LA
5) Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Biloxi, Miss
6) Harrah’s Resort Southern California - Valley Center, CA
7) Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa - Atlantic City
8) Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa - Las Vegas
9) French Lick Resort - French Lick, IN
10) Thunder Valley Casino Resort - Lincoln, (northern) CA
Besides the top 10, which were determined by popular vote, the runner-up nominees include the following in alphabetical order: Aria Resort & Casino, Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, Bellagio, Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Mirage Hotel & Casino, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and Wynn Las Vegas. Did your favorite make the cut?
It appears from reading the top 20 listing that the critical criteria was not the looseness of the slots. It was more the attractiveness of the resort and its amenities - the fun and recreation to be had vacationing at these spots. Like Harrah's Lazy River feature, SoCal's only swim up bar.
