How to Use This Book
My associates and clients travel quite a lot. And, we also gamble all over the United
States as well as on cruise ships and in the Caribbean. About six months ago I decided to

believed the best Casinos were found.
This report is the result of this informal survey. Here’s what you’ll find in this report You’ll get the names of the very best US land-based casinos. I am talking about casinos
