If you've been too busy working and haven't had the time to burn your hard earned fortune, why leave it to the wife and kids? Instead, book a trip to go gambling. Whether you like cold weather or hot, city life or beach side, the following list has something for everyone. So sit back, sip on your gin & tonic, and let's get the dice rolling.
10. South American Cruise
If you prefer to be off land, then a cruise is the perfect solution. Most cruises offer exquisite gambling opportunities combined with the more traditional cruise activities for the less gambling-inclined. If you get a chance, visit the Casino in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
9. Morocco
If you want an out-of-this-world experience, fly to Morocco and experience one of the best adventures of your life. Casablanca, Rabat and Tangiers have a lot to offer, including great gambling spots. Just make sure that you dress the part, as the sunset is sure to make the temperature drop a few degrees.
8. South Pacific Cruise
Some travelers do not consider a trip a trip unless they experience white sands and blue waters. If this describes you, then hop on a cruise line that will take you down under to Australia and New Zealand. Since Wrest Point Hotel Casino opened its doors in Hobart in 1973, several casinos have popped up in Launceston, Darwin, Alice Springs, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Adelaide, and Sydney.
7. Sun City, South Africa
The richest country in Southern Africa has a lot more to offer than diamonds and gold: one of the most beautiful casinos around. South Africa's largest casino resort is the third largest tourist attraction, after the Kruger National Park wildlife reserve, and the mountains and beaches of Cape Town.
6. Caribbean Cruise
As you can see, cruises are popular for the average tourist who likes to gamble, as they offer so many activities to avoid overkill Besides, with the Bahamas, Barbados and Aruba offering great amenities, gambling should not be the first thing on your mind
5. Macau, China
It's the home of nine casinos, eight of which operate around the clock and offer the largest variety of games in the world (both Western favorites and Eastern games of chance). The largest casino is a three-story complex at Hotel Lisboa.
4. New Orleans, Louisiana
Stroll down the original sin city and get on one of New Orleans' trademark gambling boats, cruise along the Mississippi, and revel in a bit of Southern charm, while you lose your family fortune. Hey, you can always blame it on the Southern Comfort.
3. Atlantic City, New Jersey
The city that Donald Trump built. What? You mean to tell me that there is more to New Jersey than swamps? (Okay, send the e-mail.) Actually, Jeysey has a lot to offer, so much, in fact, that the Yanks were considering moving there -- or maybe it was just leverage in the talks. In any case, anyone in the Northeastern States should take a trip to Atlantic City at least once in their lives.
2. Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada
Vegas baby, Vegas. This city just oozes gambling. Sit in a restaurant and you have slot machines to the right. Stroll down the street and you have slot machines at intersections. Not for the addictive personalities, but hey, isn't that what makes it fun?
1. Monte Carlo, Monaco
Monte Carlo edges all of the others out because it's a principality that is its own universe. The rich, wealthy and famous are a dime a dozen here. The casinos are wonderful and the weather is sublime. Here's one bet I'm sure to win: visit it once and you'll never want to leave.
