The casino industry has taken lessons from the grandfathers of the industry and whether you are in New Zealand, Paris, or Vegas, anticipate the best. Casino owners and operators are exemplary hosts. They value you as a customer and they want you to come back time and time again. So, if it is high quality dining, entertainment, dancing 'til dawn, craps, poker, or your favourite pokies, then your taste is your compass. More than anything, what vibe are you looking for? Do you like bright and loud, or do you prefer more of a dimly lit, chill-out vibe? Regardless of the energy you seek, you will be the finder of great times. Kick back and enjoy the relaxation you will find by slipping into one of the four star hotels associated with most casinos. Our experience has been that one of the jewels in the land-based casinos crowns in their four and five star hotels at a two star price.

Yes, staying at one of the splendid hotels is the way to get more bang for your buck. Plus, when you walk into the casino with your overnight bag in tow, you will feel like the star that you are. Many casinos will ensure that your stay is rewarded by way of comps. Management knows that if you are staying over, you are serious about having a great time. It is their business to help you achieve greatness. Casinos that have onsite hotels or have affiliate hotels nearby will reward you with a free night's stay, or at the very least a reduced rate with certain levels of play.  So, what are you waiting for? Glamour and glitz are yours for the taking.

Online casinos offer sign on bonuses and land-based casinos offer comps, i.e. complimentary rewards. Comps are free rewards that can be used for meals, entertainment, spa services, and in some cases free or reduced rates on rooms. As soon as you enter a casino near you on the map, you will want to check out what their player benefits are. They have special hosts/hostesses onsite to help you manoeuvre through their system so that you can get the most out of your casino experiences. Many casinos have different levels of member attainment. Often times, the time played in relation to the amount played will help to increase your level more quickly. If you are in doubt, ask the host/hostess. If you are a high limits player, you will more than likely be assigned a personal host so that your every need is met. Don't be reluctant to use your comps. Casinos provide comps as an incentive to keep you there longer and keep you coming back again and again. After all, you are their best advertisement.

There is actually nothing safer than a land-based casino. They are extremely safe. In many ways, they are as safe as an airport. Those casinos recommended by our experts are highly regulated and are overseen by governmental bodies. That is great to know considering you will be investing your time and money into a great get away. Knowing you are safe removes the worry and lets you have a great time.

How much can you win? Well, that depends on a couple things. First of all, there is no minimum and no maximum when it comes to land-based casinos. While there are maximum bets on many of the tables and machines, there is no maximum when it comes to how long you play or how much you actually win. Luck plays a part in it as well. Are you feeling lucky? Whether Lady Luck is on your side or not, if the stars are aligned you will walk away with a nice little bankroll to keep you going at your favourite online casino. Just remember to identify what stakes you are will to invest. Responsible gambling makes for a fabulous casino getaway.
