Top Gambling Destinations

This from GR88.com, an online gaming site. Here are the top 5 destinations for gambling and poker fans.
#1: Las Vegas. No surprise here.
#2: Connecticut/Southern New England. Really? Yup, there are two major casinos within half an hour of each other: Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.
#3 Dublin, Ireland. So named as it is home to the Irish Open, one of the largest poker tournaments in Europe, and a lot of poker-playing locals.



#4 Cruise ships. No big shock here either, as many cruisers take up permanent residence in the casinos, leaving only for yet another meal.
#5 Atlantic City. Las Vegas of the East Coast, with some of the largest casinos in the world. 


Pick of the Week

I love the maps app that came free on my iPhone, but it's not so great for driving because it doesn't talk to me. But I didn't want to pay any monthly fees for one that did. With CoPilot Live North America you just pay one fee and you're done. And you can find the nearest gas station, restaurant or attractions with the Local Search Feature. So whether you're in Vancouver looking to find Stanley Park, searching for a restaurant in Orlando or maybe even your new friend's house right in your own town, you'll want to check it out at http://www.alk.com/copilot/ and see if it works for your phone.
The app is $34.99.
