Re: Travelling Cross Country via Poker Rooms

[ QUOTE ] NORTHERN ROUTE Tunica St. Louis Kansas City [Option 1: Harrah's Praire Band, near Topeka, KS] [Option 2: Council Bluffs, IA (Omaha) Now you've got a bit of a gap without getting outrageously north Deadwood, SD] Colorado Vegas SOUTHERN ROUTE Tunica Shreveport Oklahoma (several new ones) little bit of a gap Albuquerque (Sandia is quite nice) Vegas [/ QUOTE ] This sounds like my kind of trip! I've visited all 50 states, mostly due to work, and have recently started to try to play poker in as many as possible... I would also propose a far northern route: Gary (Chicago) -- several Minneapolis - Canterbury North Dakota - Deadwood Montana's dealers choice bar room games (really unique experience) Jackpot, NV (has poker? this is the ID/NV border) Mesquite, NV (Utah/NV border) On the southern route, you should also consider Shreveport, LA - a couple Phoenix, AZ (huge rooms) even Tucson has a small room. [/ QUOTE ] Add Turtle Lake, WI to the Northern Route.

Real travelers never regret taking the non-direct route between one place and another. If he didn't want side trips, he'd just take a left on I-20 and be there in about 24 hours.

Re: Travelling Cross Country via Poker Rooms
I would vote for the southern route.
Tunica NW to Springfield, MO, where you get on I-44. No poker in Springfield, but if you like outdoor stuff, the original location of Bass Pro Shops (it's huge) is worth a stop. Once on I-44 you will be doing the modern day version of Route 66. Down through Joplin and into Oklahoma. 90 mi from Springfield, you hit Miami OK with two poker rooms. Buffalo Run and Quapaw. 2 1/2 hours further west you are in Tulsa, where you have Cherokee and Creek Nation. After that, your next poker stop will probably be Albuquerque. If you Google Route 66, you'll find some sites dedicated to driving the route and checking out some of the restored vintage motels and landmarks, if you are interested. Whichever route you choose...have a great time!
