At the moment Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston (sorta) disagrees with you. But generally speaking, we are there in a lot of areas.

  I was taking into account the possibility of a 2 hour plane trip when I mentioned Hawaii; are there casinos in Atlantic City?

[QUOTE=billyjoe]Well, I remember reading an article about 10 years ago that said, within the next decade, no one in the US will live more than 2 hours from a casino. With the proliferation of both tribal and commercial casinos, I think we are about there.

  I'm quite sure that residents of the State of Hawaii will disagree with you billyjoe. Even if we are talking about air miles vs. land mles. [/QUOTE]
Lots of cruise ships frequent the Hawaiian Islands, though.

Many Atlanta residents frequent Cherokee, NC. It's about 3 hours, depending where in Atlanta you start.
 
The state of Texas is a whole other matter..

Finally skimmed through this report. Interesting stuff. Definitely written with a pro-casino agenda though.

You missed Ohio at least. Will look at link tomorrow.

My posting was for Commercial Casinos only and didn't include states with Native American casinos.

Depends on which part of Houston. Since Houston is almost 50 miles across those on the East side are better off. We are only 1 hour and 48 minutes away from driveway to parking garage. And if you bypass I-10 Casino Expressway from Houston to La border and use the back road Hwy 73 its 75 mph almost 2/3 of the way.

An understatement bj. Texas has so much potential but doesn't even allow Native American tribes like those in East Texas or El Paso to have casino - they been sued and threatened every time they broach the issue.

Too much fear from Texas State Govt. that people wouldn't make good choices - so they'll make it for us.

I've heard La reports indicate up to 75% of Lake Charles $2+ million/day is from Texas.

If TX would pass legalized gambling, LA and OK would be totally screwed.
