If I had to pick one good thing that came out of the Coronavirus pandemic, it would be that it gave us a greater appreciation for the little things in life. Last year, simple pleasures like inviting friends and family over for cookouts were replaced by get-togethers on Zoom, which is certainly not the same! Those of us who love gaming also saw our favorite casinos shuttered or scaled back. 

But this year, things are looking up! New vaccines are becoming more widely available, and casinos are coming back to life! If you are longing to get to the tables and slots but don’t want to miss out on that special family time, you’ll be happy to know that there is a way for you to do both! Several casinos and resorts offer RV and camping options for their guests – a perfect way to combine quality time with family and friends with an exciting trip to the casino!  In the spirit of “online meetings,” we have put together a virtual RV/Casino Road Trip for you.  So, grab the kids, grab the dogs, and join us on a cross-country road trip online!
