Everyone loves lists…but here’s one travel list we’ve never seen before: the top pet-friendly casinos in the US! The experts over at GR88.com (pronounced Great Eight .Com) have named their top eight pet-friendly casinos in the U.S.
And here’s a travel tip from us: even if, like us, you don’t gamble (self-employment is enough gambling for us!), casino hotels can be a good bet for your vacation. We like them because rates are usually very good, not just for rooms but for meals as well!
