If you truly want to save monies and have great time maybe it’s better to go to a gambling resort with your family then go on a cruise or the Caribbean. I would just go to Vegas, Atlantic City or similar location with the same monies I would have spent on a cruise or a Caribbean Vacation. You might say I’ve got the gambling fever but here’s a few reasons (below) why this might be a better bet. PLEASE TELL ME WHY I’M WRONG
(1) Either way the money you spent is going to crap but at least this way you have an opportunity to make your monies back.
(2) Gambling is a fun evening activity.
(3) You can receive additional discounts on further trips if you’re shown to gamble for a certain amount of time and/or money on the initial trip
(4) Even if you don’t get comped for a room or airline tickets you can get discounts for great shows or other events that would cost you additional monies.
(5) The hotel accommodations are generally relatively inexpensive at casino’s compared to other hotels even if you’re not comped.
(6) They’ll give you as many free drinks as you can handle as long as your on the casino floor. Has anyone heard of penny slot machines?
(7) There is usually great free (tips appreciated) local entertainment found just walking the strip or boardwalk.
One final note it’s best to gamble when the rest of the family is sleeping or doing another activity like the pool. WARNING -Gamble with your head not your heart.
