Minnesota Casino Information Helps a Gambler Find a Cozy Room when Traveling

J P Whickson
Nevada now competes with many different states for casino dollars. With 46 of the states having some form of casino or gambling hall either on indian reservations, riverboats or land based, if you want to find some action there's always plenty around.

Many of the casinos link together as sister properties, so if you plan to travel and play at a local casino, check out the area and see if you can get a free night's stay at their accommocations. As long as you don't gamble there, it might save you a few dollars. Once you hit the casino floors, your savings of course could dwindle to nothing. The operation of the casinos on reservation lands is often left to larger corporations so even though it's a tribal casino, it may have a sister property elsewhere.

    I'm so out of the loop on Minnesota casinos at this point and found your article so informative.

    This would have made a great vacation, a Viking game followed by a casino, its so cold there though.

  • Cathy A Montville8/24/2009

    Wow...I never realized MN had so many casinos! I wonder if treasure Island is owned by the same corporation that owns TI in Vegas? My husband and I have been getting the itch to head to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun! Love Mohegan Sun!

  • Mary E. Coe8/3/2009

    Fantastic resources! FTA: "Many of the casinos link together as sister properties, so if you plan to travel and play at a local casino, check out the area and see if you can get a free night's stay at their accommocations" Smart tid-bit here!
