Last summer I accompanied my mother to Pechanga casino to see why she likes going there. Since I was first-timer the casino gave me spending money to use and I even won some back. So it only cost me the bus ride there (and back) but it isn't something that I am interested in doing again as it is simply not my thing. https://www.pechanga.com/
If you visit the Bahamas, check out the Atlantis casino at Paradise Island. Unique decor.
In Singapore, I recommend skipping the Marina Bay Sands and Sentosa casinos. See the Skypark, have a drink at KU DÉ TA, bypass the gaming.

It's sad that Macau has had gambling since 1850, yet most of the casinos are new and little more than clones of the big Vegas attractions. At least they haven't (yet) figured out how to exploit the Ruins of St. Paul's.
I played poker to survive while in colombia. I played in casinos in Bogotá and Cartagena. I didn't feel comfortable in MedellÃn so I didn't play there. I played for a while in Viña del Mar and gave myself a very nice standard of living for quite a while. Never been to vegas, but I've played in Casinos in South Florida (Hollywood) and Michigan.
I've played at plenty of other places, can't remember all of them. However, I still have never been to Vegas.. even though my grandpa is a poker pro there and spends 7 months out of the year living there.
I rarely wager any money (aka throwing money away), but my husband enjoys it sometimes for entertainment. Accordingly, we've visited many in Las Vegas, 5-6 Indian Casino's in Arizona, one Indian Casino in North Carolina, several gambling cruises off the Florida coast, casinos on various cruise lines, and the classic Grand Casino in Monaco. I've also been to one in London and the Atlantis on Paradise Island.
Now if you want to add horse and dog tracks to this list, I've been to far too many!
my smile for the day: why? because hubby would rather visit a race tract (horse) or go to a race book in a casino than do almost anything except maybe eat or drink wine and scotch (not together)
for me, I don't think my computer would hold up if I tried to list them all. My parents loved gambling and we were raised in So. CA. so my first memory of casinos was during WW2 when I was just a little kid. We were on our way to Fl, dad was in the navy and was to be stationed outside of Miami. Our first stop was Vegas. We stayed at a hotel (well not really a hotel in those days) called the Last Frontier. Eventually it was the New Frontier and then just the Frontier. people familiar with Vegas know what I am talking about. The morning we were leaving daddy let my pull the handle on the one armed bandit. Well, I hit a $5.50 jackpot and asked my parents if I could play the crapping machine again? Mom and dad were crap players and I guess I got slot machine and craps a little mixed up. Dad was told to keep me quiet and not to let me near the slot machines again.
Since, not only have we visited more casinos in Vegas than I can count: we have done Laughlin, Reno, Misquite, NV, Tahoe, Indian casinos in NM and OK, Atlantic City, Tunica, LA., The Bahamas, Spain, Macau, Barbados, Dominican Republic, San Juan, St Maarten, Aruba and on cruise ships. I am probably forgetting someplace, but you get the picture.

I have been to most of the casinos. I rarely gamble at them but I like to walk around for a little while. And some of them have great restaurants.
Minnesota has some great casinos and I occasionally frequented a few of them.
( my wife sure liked to go there a lot , though)
Since we relocated to Arkansas in retirement, we went twice to Tunica MS and the wife loved it.
She passed away Thanksgiving morning ( ALS) so her casino days are over. Since it never was a big deal with me, my trips will be few and far between.
I do bet online on every horse race held at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs Arkansas.
I'm a little in the red so far, but still farther ahead than if I had been hitting the casinos.
Well I live in the LV valley, so have been to most casinos here. Not much of a gambler, but whenever guests come to stay, they love to go to the Strip. I've also been to an Indian casino in Wisconsin and had one trip to Atlantic City for a conference. I also visited the casino in Estoril, Portugal. Nothing like US casinos and no table games other than poker at all.
