Best U.S. Casinos Outside Vegas

While America holds the record for most casinos in the world (1,500+), did you know that only a mere 7% are in Las Vegas? If you love to gamble, you’ve got great options to visit a casino just about anywhere in the US. This also means that the “larger than life” experience casinos offer is more accessible. With so many options, we’ve put together this short list of best casinos that span the US. It’s an easy bet that you’ll enjoy your time at any one of these destinations.

Borgata Hotel Casino And Spa
Atlantic City, New Jersey
Luxury and style punctuate this eastern-seaboard hotel and casino located just ten minutes from the beach. Borgata is a slot player’s paradise, with more than 3,000 machines offering 600 different style games. This casino has a 100-seat Racebook, and 130 tables that include Pai Gow Tiles and Pai Gow Poker among a host of table game favorites. Rooms at the hotel are modern and well appointed. Among them is the Opus Suite, a 1,000 square foot luxury accommodation. An indoor pool, gardens, and luxury spa make the transition from excitement to relaxation at Borgata seamless.

L’Auberge Casino Resort
Lake Charles, Louisiana
L’Auberge aims to create a little patch of paradise in the southeast US with an altogether traditional and luxurious style. Up for play are 15 different table games including baccarat, craps, roulette, and a strong showing of card games both new and old. A tropical-inspired pool area with swim-up bar and lazy river, golfing, full-service spa and luxury shopping make a visit here very worthwhile.

Colorado Belle
Laughlin, Nevada
The Colorado Belle is a one-of-a-kind casino. The “Belle” is a 600-foot long, 65,000-square foot casino situated on a replica of a 19th-century Mississippi paddlewheel riverboat. Including the casino, there is an award-winning brewery, three outstanding restaurants, free live entertainment, two pools, an outdoor spa, and hotel suites with views of the Colorado River.

Mount Airy Casino And Resort
Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania
With more than 1,800 slot machines and 70 tables featuring poker, blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat, Mount Airy Casino And Resort holds its own as a player’s destination in the northeast. A full lineup of activities and entertainment make this one lively place, from regularly-hosted poker tournaments to comedy shows and live music acts. Four on-site restaurants (one founded by Guy Fieri), golf courses, and luxury spas round out your experience here. Just a two-hour drive from Manhattan, Mount Airy Casino And Resort makes for a perfect weekend getaway.

Harrah’s Resort
Lake Tahoe, California
Lake Tahoe is known for its crystal-clear lake and snow-peaked mountains, but nestled next to the water stands a taste of the Las Vegas strip. Built in 1955, the renovated original hotel is connected to the modern casino through underground tunnels. Harrah’s Resort offers the best of two worlds: an exceptional gambling venue situated right in the heart of one of the most beautiful places in the country.
