Casinos seem to be so popular and common that sometimes it feels like there is always one right around the corner or a short drive away. With the economy how it is, many gambling destinations have offered deals to entice more people to try their luck. These lowered prices are not just concerning hotel deals, but all accommodations. These days you can find a wonderful vacation rental for less than you could ever have before and most like just a few minutes drive to the gambling establishment of your choice. With new casinos popping up all over the country, it may be a good time to rent a sure thing before you try your luck on a new hotel.
There are a number of brand new casinos that have recently opened all over the country. Jumer’s Hotel & Quad Cities recently opened its doors in Iowa and Illinois with 1,100 slot machines and 24 table games. Harrah’s Horseshoe Casino opened its doors in August 2008 with 350,000 square feet of 3,200 slot machines and 100 table games in Indiana. In June of 2008, Turtle Creek Casino welcomed guests from all around Michigan and beyond to its 1,300 slots and 40 table games. Finally, the Sands Casino’s 3,000 slot machines and 200,000 square feet of shopping have called Bethlehem, PA home since May of 2009.
Casinos and the traffic they bring to an area are always quite the stimulus to a lacking tourism industry. But the more there are and the closer they grow together, will casinos lose their appeal? Will the distance from one gambling destination to another grow so small that the idea of trying your luck loses it’s excitement and becomes just another Friday night? Lets hope not. The excitement and preperation it takes to plan a trip to Atlantic City, NJ or to Las Vegas is half of the fun, if it becomes as easy as just hopping in your car, will people make the drive?

Spain is a wonderful destination with many sights and attractions throughout, but if you have been to Madrid’s Palacio Real recently, you may think part of a very important attraction in Spain has gone missing. The Royal Armory at the Palacio is one of the richest and most important collections of arms in the world and draws visitors from around the world. The fact of the matter is, a portion of the arms is not missing, but has been lent to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, a testament to just how impressive the collection is. “The Art of Power: Royal Armor and Portraits of Imperial Spain” will be on display in Washington through November 1st.
Do not worry if you have already booked your Spain vacation rentals and the Armory was at the top of your list, the museum only borrowed a portion of the collection, the vast majority is still safely guarded in Madrid.
