Here at Jackpot Capital we often explain the importance of sound time management for online casino gaming. When you play online, you should realize that an online casino is always available. When you play at a land-based casino, you should realize that the casino will stay where it is when you leave to go back home.
These two facts create two very different tendencies on the part of players depending on where they are playing. We encourage all gamers here at Jackpot Capital to play in relatively short sessions since we are always available. Players at land-based casinos tend to play for many hours at the casino since gambling is the reason they went to the land-based casino in the first place.
Our bottom line is that casino gamers are better served playing at an online casino such as Jackpot Capital. We offer more comfort, a lot more convenience, bonuses, a wide range of games, no waiting and a lot more that taken together make online casino gaming the best game in town.
There are still plenty of players who go to a land-based casino to play casino games!
So, in this article, we will talk about day trips and other diversions that will allow you to budget your time at the land-based casino responsibly and will give you things to do that are fun and exciting in their own right.
We have four kinds of casinos or casino locations to talk about:
Actually, aside from gambling and the shows, Las Vegas itself has little to offer. However, it is very easy to find things to do in the Las Vegas area that have nothing to do with a casino and allow you to have fun and play responsibly. There are two national parks within a reasonable drive from Las Vegas: the Grand Canyon and Zion.
There are also a few state parks within an easier drive from Las Vegas. These are:
Many companies run tours and you can also do it yourself.
There are a lot of shows. They are not cheap but if they keep your gambling under control, they are well worth the price. Better to spend $100 on a show that you will remember forever than spend another $100 on land-based casino slots where the return to player rate is far below what you can enjoy at Jackpot Capital.
Slots play at any land-based casino is far inferior to slots play at Jackpot Capital.

The best option for anyone who flies into Atlantic City is to get onto a tour of New York City. A one-day trip to Manhattan will include all of the top ten highlights from the Statue of Liberty, to a sky deck at the Empire State Building or the Edge, a walk in Central Park, some time at MOMA, a bus ride through the neighborhoods, a tour of the UN, the Intrepid, and ice cream at many great locations all over the island.
We will talk about charming towns a little bit later but, for now, Cape May is a favorite small town of people on an east coast road trip. Cape May has beaches, shopping, excursions, and hiking. These activities will easily keep your mind away from the casinos.
Mississippi has gotten a bad rap but there is plenty to do away from the casinos. New Orleans is close by. We suggest getting onto a bayou tour.
Since you are on the coast, there are plenty of diversions that take you to the waterways and to the Gulf of America. Strange that but it is the official name for now.
The Mississippi Coast is also very humid in all months and especially in the summer. If you like getting into the heat and humidity (and who doesn’t) then a summery trek through dense natural growth, almost jungle, may be just what you need.
You will need a long shower when you get back to the hotel!
If you are taking a road trip to a land-based casino, we suggest that the best way to do it is to start out early and take in as many small towns along the way as you can. This will require a bit of research but the charm of charming small towns is worth the homework.
Every small town has a unique history. There often is a historical site or marker. You can visit a museum based on the town’s legacy or the ethnicity of the people who founded it.
Main Street in a small town will have local businesses some of which will be enticing. Visit a local ice cream shop (or shoppe), a fudge store, and a local bakery that specializes in unusual pastries.
Small towns always are cheek to jowl with nature so there will be hiking trails and possibly a small lake. Oftentimes a local business will offer horse rides. Small towns also have fairs and other larger attractions mainly in the summer months. There will possibly be a farmer’s market, or a bazaar with homemade jewelry, wine, spirits, knitted clothing, and much more.
Small towns may be at the heart of a farming area that specializes in a particular crop. In California in garlic growing areas, you can smell the garlic in the air. In Pennsylvania, the Amish community offers tours and has a farmer’s market that specializes in Amish cheeses, bread, and sausages.
These days many small towns have a craft beer pub. Be sure that the designated driver just takes a couple of sips. Wine and distilleries have become big commercial enterprises in rural areas.
In short, a trip to a local land-based casino can be a lot of fun if you accept the proverb that getting there is half the fun. If you make it 90% of the fun, you will be in much better shape when you finally do get to the casino.
All of the days trips we mentioned here are accessible without the casinos. You might be too far for a day trip out of Las Vegas but you are not too far away for a great weekend trip in your area. Every area of the United States has a world of pleasurable experiences waiting for you to enjoy them.
Jackpot Capital offers great online casino gaming. We encourage relatively short sessions and great experiences outside of the casino. When you are ready to play our approximately 300 casino games, we will be here. If you are not yet a “member”…
