Instead of driving 10-14 hours a day and staying in flea bag hotels, etc. I was thinking I could hop from poker room to poker room and "play" my way across the country.

If your goal is to not stay in flea bag hotels, I don't think staying at casinos is the logical alternative. Why not just stay in nice hotels? If you plan on hitting a casino every night, you're going to be adding a lot of extra time to your trip. Despite their ubiquity, it's not like there is one off every interstate. You're going to be tacking a lot of time onto your driving to get to some of these places.

Not to be too critical, but I'm just questioning your logic. It sounds like you do not want to stay at cheap hotels, and your conclusion is that to avoid doing this you should stay at casinos and play poker. I don't really see the link there.
