Are you putting some of the top casinos in the U.S. on your road trip agenda?

Feel like gambling with the greats? Here are the seven best in America.

Planning a trip to a casino this year? You’re not alone. More than 50 million people visit casinos in the US each year.

If a trip to a casino for a little gambling is in your future, surely you’ll want to check out one of the top casinos in the US. While Las Vegas is what most people think of when great casinos come to mind, you can hit up some great locations all over the country.

Here are 6 of the top casinos in the US to include in your next gambling adventure.

1. The Wynn, Las Vegas

The Wynn Las Vegas has been winning awards and getting 5-star reviews since it opened in 2005. It features over 2,700 hotel rooms and also has a second, even more luxurious resort, The Encore, attached to it.

The casino is full of flowers, sky-lit art, and state-of-the-art gaming. Whether you want to gamble poolside, in a high-limit salon, or at their large and comfortable sportsbook, the Wynn has something for everyone.

When you need a break from the tables, check out one of the restaurants at the Wynn. They have more Michelin 4-star restaurants than any other resort in North America. From Italian to steakhouse to Chinese, the Wynn has many options to choose from.

After you fill up, check out the indoor botanical garden, visit the spa, or golf. The Wynn boasts the only 18-hole golf course on the Las Vegas Strip.

2. The Borgata, Atlantic City

The Borgata opened in Atlantic City in 2003 and spurred other developers to build large, Vegas-style casinos in the city. Since it opened, the Borgata has led Atlantic City casinos in revenue.

The casino has every gambling option you could want, including a sportsbook to bet on sports games and horse racing, since it was legalized across the country in 2018.

It has all of the luxuries of a Las Vegas casino, like 5-star restaurants by Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck, nightclubs, and a massive two-story spa that has a barbershop, fitness center, pool, and salon.

If you’re an avid TV watcher, you might have seen the Borgata on shows like The Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Sopranos, or Impractical Joker.

3. Peppermill Resort Spa and Casino, Reno

We’re heading back to Nevada for the next casino on our list. The Peppermill Resort in Reno offers you the luxury of a Vegas casino in a smaller environment. From slot machines to table games to a sportsbook, the casino has what you’re looking for.

The spa is spectacular, with three stories, the only Caladarium in Northern Nevada, an indoor pool, sundeck, and salon. After relaxing in the spa, head outside to one of the pools or jetted spas and then enjoy a meal at one of their 10 award-winning restaurants.

The Peppermill is also committed to sustainability and has a number of Green initiatives, including geothermal heating energy, water recycling, paperless Human Resources department, and participation in Clean the World’s Hotel Recycling Program.

4. Foxwoods Resort Casino, Connecticut

Head east again to visit the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The Foxwoods used to be the largest casino in the world, and while it isn’t the largest any longer, it still is one of the best.

In addition to the traditional casino games, Foxwoods also offers the PLAY Arena, which allows you to play all of your favorite games from one station. You can pick the lighting, music, video, and mood of your playing experience. Foxwoods also has 35 different restaurants, from quick service, casual dining to fine dining.

When you want a break from gambling, take a ride down the road from the casino to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, one of the largest Native American museums in the world.

5. Horseshoe Casino, Mississippi

If Atlantic City is the east coast equivalent of Las Vegas, Tunica, Mississippi is the southern counterpart to Vegas. The Horseshoe Casino has a luxurious tower with over 300 suites and a hotel with over 500 standard rooms that are anything but ordinary.

From table games to slots to the poker room to the sportsbook, The Horseshoe has all of the gaming you could want, all at the best odds around.

Tunica is a short 30-minute drive from Memphis, so it attracts big-name entertainers, including bands, singers, and comedians like Tracy Morgan.

6. Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

Caesars has been around since the 1960s, building a casino empire in Las Vegas and beyond. Their flagship casino, located in Las Vegas, is instantly recognizable. You’ve probably seen it in movies like Rocky III, Rain Man, Ocean’s Eleven, Iron Man, and all three Hangover movies.

The casino has all of the standard amenities, but if you’re looking for other things to do, take a dip in one of the pools designed to look like a Roman bath, check out the Pussycat Dolls Lounge, or spend your winnings in the Forum Shops, which offers over 630,000 square feet of shopping. From Louis Vuitton to Sephora, the Forum Shops have a wide range of stores.

And, in traditional Vegas style, it has big-name performers, like Celine Dion, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, and Rod Stewart.

Before you head out to your next casino, be sure to give these demo slots a go-to practice your slot betting strategy without risk.

“Wings Over Everest” Theatrical Poster

Looks like Wu Jing’s The Climbers has some stiff competition: Wings Over Everest, an upcoming crime thriller set amid the snows of Everest. The film stars Koji Yakusho (The World of Kanako) and Zhang Jingchu (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation).

When a plane carrying important documents crashes in the Death Zone of Mount Everest, two men claiming to work for India’s research and analysis department offer a large sum of money to Team Wings to take them up to recover them.

Wings Over Everest is executive produced by Terence Chang (Once a Thief) and written and directed by Yu Fei, a former vice president of Paris-based gaming giant Gameloft, who is also an experienced explorer, diver and mountain climber (via SD).

The film releases domestically December 12th. Don’t miss its Newest Trailer below:

“Bad Boys 2” Japanese Theatrical Poster

Fans of the Bad Boys franchise, rejoice! Directing duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (the pair responsible for the Dutch-language cult action flick, Gangsta) are prepping Sony’s Bad Boys for Life (aka Bad Boys 3) for a January 7th, 2020 release.

Bad Boys for Life is written by Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces) and Chris Bremner (Sick Day), with story input by Peter Craig (Blood Father). Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun), who produced the original Bad Boys and its sequel, is once again backing the 3rd film.

The Bad Boys franchise (previously directed by Michael Bay) revolves around two hip detectives who fight criminals in the mean streets of Florida. This time around, Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is now a police inspector and Mike Lowery (Will Smith) is in a midlife crisis. They unite again when an Albanian mercenary, whose brother they killed, promises them an important bonus.

Hong Kong Cinema fans will always remember Bad Boys 2 for one of its key action scenes – involving automobiles driving down hill through a residential village – that was “borrowed” from Jackie Chan’s Police Story (1985).

“Terminator: Dark Fate” Theatrical Poster

Despite backlash and lukewarm domestic box office returns, 2015’s Terminator Genisys performed well in international markets. In fact, here’s a tidbit you probably weren’t aware of: Terminator Genisys is the second-highest grossing film of the entire franchise (behind only T2: Judgment Day) on a global scale.

With that said, it’s no wonder that Terminator: Dark Fate (aka Terminator 6) is upon us. For this one, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genisys are ignored, which makes this upcoming film a direct continuation to T2: Judgment Day.

But what’s even more interesting is that series inventor, James Cameron (director of the first two Terminator films, who retained the rights to the franchise for 2019), is producing and Tim Miller (Deadpool) is his trusted writer/director in charge of bringing the series back to form. David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight), David Ellison, Josh Friedman, Billy Ray (Captain Phillips) and Justin Rhodes (Contract Killers) also make up the film’s writing force.

Terminator: Dark Fate also marks the return of Linda Hamilton (The Terminator 1 & 2), who will reprise her role as Sarah Connor, Edward Furlong returning as John Connor, and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is rumored to not only be returning as model T-800, but also as the character to which the cyborg was modeled after. Mackenzie Davis (Blade Runner 2049), Diego Boneta (Luis Miguel: La Serie), Gabriel Luna (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Natalia Reyes (Birds of Passage) and Enrique Arce (Tango One) round out the cast.

Terminator: Dark Fate has received its R rating due to violence throughout the film as well as language and brief nudity (via CB).

The Terminator: Dark Fate hits theaters November 1st, 2019. Watch the film’s New Red Band Trailer below:

Many celebrities have participated in Strictly since its inception in 2004. A very good percentage of this lot had great experiences on the show and thereafter had greater successes whether by returning to what they used to do or by taking a new career path in dancing. However, there are people who regretted participating in the show. Fiona Philips recently revealed her regret at taking part in Strictly. Her reasons for the regret are her averseness to getting on the dance floor since her teenage years and shyness. This made her extremely self-conscious resulting in her cutting a comedy type figure, according to her. She exited the show in week four, finishing ninth. Her partner professional dancer couldn’t help her due to what she tagged rough old taskmaster methods and obsession with being number one.

Therefore, it is important to do self-evaluation before taking part in the show. Some of the questions to ask are:

Is it something you really want?

Does it fit your personality?

Are you willing and ready to make the necessary adjustments?

 Giving sincere answers to these questions will go a long way in determining if Strictly is right for you. It is an honor to be invited to the show but you must take your time to determine if it’s what you want and how well it suits you.

Key Considerations

Have Fun

This is perhaps the most important thing every participant must pay attention to. While this is a competition and everyone would like to be the eventual winner, it is imperative to enjoy yourself. It is almost impossible for a participant who doesn’t prioritize having fun to win.

Be Flexible

Flexibility is a very important ingredient for success in any new endeavor. Change, regardless of how easy it seems, places varying demands on us all. Being open to taking new things on board will solve most of the problems. This can help people with a reserved personality have a great time on the show.

Trust Your Partner

In life, things always seem better on the other side. Don’t fall for this illusion, trust your dance partner, and work fully with him or her.

Note: you don’t need to overthink your participation; if you have any doubt or want to pursue another goal, don’t hesitate to do so. Usually, overthinking a thing is a sign you shouldn’t be in it. If you however decide to participate, go, and have fun.

The thrill of watching a casino movie and seeing the primary character win big is always an exciting experience and even more exciting to watch if you are a gambler yourself.

People love getting the action associated with gambling and casinos, but do not always have the time to get out of the house and go to one. Movies and new online casinos are a great way to get the rush of winning without even leaving the house.

Casino movies have been out since the start of films themselves. Everyone has a love to watch people take risks and win a lot of money.

We feel the anxiety of betting a lot and the drama of losing or getting wrapped up in crime, just like the characters. We can watch and enjoy these sensations without actually causing real damage to ourselves or our bank accounts.

We are going to look at some of the most action-filled and enjoyable to watch casino scenes in movies.

The Hangover

The Hangover is a 2009 American comedy film that stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and a few other celebrities. The movie is based on a group of friends who go to Las Vegas for Doug Billing’s bachelor party, but not everything goes as planned.

Things get a little crazy as their night at Caesar’s Palace goes from good fun to a wild endeavor. One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when Doug’s friend Alan, performed by Zach Galifianakis, goes to play blackjack. Alan is the weird one out of the group, but also probably the smartest.

Alan learns how to count cards and then wins big. The crazy-eyed character enters the blackjack table with a suit and a very serious face. We see him trying to calculate the cards in his head and leaving the table without getting accused of counting cards.

The group needs the money to pay off the person who took their friend and are successful at doing so with the help of Alan’s new skill in counting cards.

The whole movie is a crazy comedy about bizarre things happening to the group while in Las Vegas, but this scene puts comedy aside and focuses on Alan’s newly acquired skill of counting cards.

21

21 is a 2008 film that stars Jim Sturgess, Laurence Fishburne, and other celebrities. The film follows Ben Campbell, who is studying mathematics at MIT. He is accepted and wants to go to Harvard Medical School but cannot afford the hefty price tag attached to that school.

He applies for scholarships for Harvard but is told that it is very competitive. While Ben is at MIT, his math professor is seriously impressed with Ben’s quick mind and his advanced grasp on mathematics.

The professor invites him to join his blackjack team, who goes to Las Vegas to work together to win big on blackjack tables, although it is illegal. Ben accepts, and the film shows his ups and downs while on the team.

One of the most memorable scenes and quotes of the whole movie is when Ben is playing and wins, and he says, “Winner, winner, chicken dinner!” The team trades different signals and moves from table to table to win. They all dress in costume, and it is exciting to watch as the viewers know they are working together.

“Winner, winner, chicken dinner!” is not a new saying as it was used for a long time in Las Vegas when someone won because there was a dinner special with chicken that was often eaten in the late hours of the night after winning big.

However, the movie and specifically this scene when Ben first uses it, has made the saying known to the public and is now used as a more common saying outside of the casinos.

Ocean’s Eleven

Ocean’s Eleven is a 2001 American movie starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts, to name a few. The film is about Danny Ocean, who is recently out of jail but wants to continue in criminal activity by robbing three casinos in Las Vegas.

Danny Ocean meets up with Rusty Ryan, his partner in crime, to go through with the heist. When Danny arrives, Rusty Ryan is in a group poker class teaching young stars how to play poker and what the rules are. The stars are not good at poker or being discrete.

Danny arrives, and the two play off each other to trick the stars into betting more money. Rusty, their mentor, tells the students that Danny doesn’t have anything, and he is only bluffing. The students trust Rusty Ryan and continue to bet more money.

In the end, Danny has four of a kind with an ace-high, so, in other words, an excellent hand. He wins the money, and he and Rusty Ryan exchange a smirk to each other. This scene is essential to the whole film because it sets up their relationship with each other and their ways of deception.

One can get a good look at the two characters in this scene, and it is fun to watch the other stars get roped into the scam. It shows that even though Rusty Ryan is trying to teach the actors, overall, he wants to take their money and work with Danny in his heist.

The Bottom Line

There are a lot of great casino movies out there on the market, and these are just a few that we enjoy watching. Casino movies include drama, risk, action, and crime and are put together in unique ways for our enjoyment.

The Hangover is a light film that follows a group of friends on their crazy time in Las Vegas. Although a lot of the movie is exaggerated for comical effect, the scene where Alan plays blackjack demonstrates how someone can win a lot of money counting cards.

21 is a great movie showing a star mathematics student getting wrapped up in some illegal business. The famous scene and saying, “winner, winner, chicken dinner,” is now known because of this movie and the scene where Ben starts his counting cards career.

Ocean’s Eleven is another excellent gambling movie. The poker scene when we first see Danny and Ryan interact sets the stage for the whole film, and the movies to come. This scene shows the deception the two can do together to earn money.

These are some of our favorite scenes, but this is just the beginning of the list of enjoyable casino scenes to watch!

The Bad Batch

“Sky on Fire” Theatrical Poster

Hong Kong film star Daniel Wu (Sky on Fire, The Last Supper) is joining Hugh Jackman (Logan), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout) and Thandie Newton (Mission: Impossible II) in Reminiscence, the debut feature from writer/director Lisa Joy (Westworld).

Reminiscence is a mind bending noir love story set in the dystopic near future of a nighttime, super heated flooded global warmed Miami. Wu finds himself on opposites sides with Jackman’s character. The project is set at Warner Bros and FilmNation (via Deadline).

Wu is no stranger to Hollywood, as he’s appeared in The Man with the Iron Fists, Geostorm, Tomb Raider – and of course – AMC’s Into the Badlands.

We’ll keep you updated on Reminiscence as we learn more. Until then, here’s the Trailer for the Wu actioner Sky on Fire, from the late, great Ringo Lam:

Every person you know probably has a favorite show. However, genuine fans are far and few between. If by any chance you are a true fan of K-dramas, visiting South Korea is surely on your bucket list.

As a true fan, have you ever imagined yourself visiting one of those fine cafes and dining places from your TV shows? Well, it turns out, some of those places are real.

So go ahead, make a good old cup of coffee – maybe grab a recipe from Home Grounds and try some gourmet recipe – grab a few snacks, and enjoy our list of four cafes and restaurants from K-dramas.

1. Bok Chicken from Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

The first place from the list managed to disappoint some of the shows fans in the past but if you set your expectations, you will have more than a good time. The eatery is not a modern chicken place as the show depicts it. Nothing on TV is real? Shocking, we know. Anyway, the spot is popular among university students in the area. And unlike the restaurant in the show, the real place serves many tasty dishes, including tofu kimchi, chicken noodle soup, and of course, great fried rice.

2. Coffee Prince from Coffee Prince

This is perhaps the most well-known drama on our little list, and would you know, the coffee shop of the same name exists in real life. It’s located in Seoul (not the only place located there on our list) and in addition to plenty of caffeine-filled delicacies, it also offers lots of pastries. But we have to warn you, if you only plan on going there to take a few photos or videos, you’re out of luck. The place has a strict policy concerning all of fanboys and girls who go there just to sightsee. That means you have to order your beverage, snack, or meal and look at the place that housed some of your favorite TV moments quietly.

3. The Flower-Scented Cartoon Café from My Love from the Star

If you’re a casual My Love from the Star watcher, then you probably know this coffee shop as the place where the female lead snacks, reads, and ignores the male lead. Or something to that effect. And if you want to ignore your love interest, you just need to head down to Seoul. There, you can snack on ramen and read manga all you want! Although, if you want to read anything, you need to work on your Hangul because every book is written in the language (not a huge deal, right?).

4. Mango Six from The Heirs

As every fan of The Heirs will tell you, all of the arguments that went down in this café are pretty unforgettable. Now, both on TV and in real life, the café will leave you wanting more. As the name suggests, Mano Six’s main specialty is everything-mango. But the café also offers a wide range of sweats and pastries that turn their one-time visitors into regular customers all the time. In addition to Korea, the café also has a location in the United States, so you don’t have to travel abroad to visit it.

And there you have it, those are some of our favorite cafes and restaurants from K-dramas. We could list a ton more, however, that would’ve taken us all day and we don’t have that much time. What are some of your favorites? Make sure to tell us in the comment section down below.
