Gambling Places
In 2008, Sheldon Adelson opened the Four Seasons Hotel and Casino in Macau, the gambling capital of Asia – a hotel with 390 rooms and a casino covering an area of 60,000 square feet. In 2010, he opened the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and Casino in Singapore with 2,511 rooms and a huge casino covering an area of 160,000 square feet. Until other investors manage to build more casinos around the world, most gamblers will be forced to fly to their favorite gambling destinations in America, Europe and Asia, and enjoy their Gambling Trips.
Gambling Trips (Casino Vacations)
The sound of the chips in the gaming hall, the growing tension around the roulette table and the thrill before the roulette ball drops and stops – casino tourism has long conquered gamblers from around the world. Players spend whole hours of their vacation inside the casinos, often involving alcohol, prostitution and a lot of money. This is the gambling tourism.
Many gamblers prefer to spend their vacations in casinos. They go to wild weekends in casinos and stay in luxurious hotels at quite attractive prices. They travel several times a year and usually stay several nights in the same hotel where the casino is located. Is this a questionable vacation? What does such a vacation even look like?
James Rollins (pseudonym) has been a professional poker player for over eight years. He started playing at home poker games together with friends and over time became a professional poker player who participates in tournaments around the world. He refers to his favorite destinations as poker vacations. At where he live, poker games are very common, but the experience in a casino and especially in a tournament is not something that can be compared to playing at home with friends.
Free Buffet and Free Drinks
The casinos make sure to pamper their gamblers. There is a service of waiters that constantly roams the casino handing out free drinks, including alcoholic drinks. In the casino restaurant you pay an entrance fee and there is a free buffet at all hours of the day. The idea is that you will have fun and spend a lot of money in the casino games.
Couples Gambling Trips
Many couples, especially those in their fifties and sixties, travel without the family for a long weekend, then the man sits for hours at the casino and the woman spends hours shopping or enjoying the spa.
Young People’s Gambling Trips
Guys in their twenties who usually hang out together fly on a casino vacation with friends for a weekend of gaming and nightlife. In addition to the fact that they come to spend money in the casino, some of them also come to bachelor parties, drink a lot, make noise and order strippers. Sometimes escort girls are also involved in those private events.
