And, although Arizona Charlie’s Casino is situated in an area off of the famed Las Vegas Strip and not directly on it, guests keep coming back for more and more. This could be because Arizona Charlie’s has such a rich history in Vegas, or it might have something to do with the fact that they offer their guests such a wealth of different options for gambling entertainment.

If you like to bet on football, basketball, or any other sport for that matter, Arizona Charlie’s has a complete race and sports book available for you to place your bets. The casino also offers the one and only bingo hall that’s open a full 24-hours a day, seven days a week!

When you think about Atlantic City, New Jersey, you think casinos and gambling. But that isn’t the only thing you can do there. Atlantic City can be a great spot for family vacations besides just an adult get-away. During the day you can spend time with the little ones at any one of the many attractions available and at night, while the kids are in the room watching movies or playing games, mom and dad can go downstairs and enjoy the nightlife in the casinos! That is, if the kids are of a reasonable age to be left unattended for a few hours.

With Atlantic City, you don’t have to make that hard decision on the type of vacation you are going to take, should it be one for just you and your spouse, or a vacation that includes the whole family that might not be all that much fun for the adults. Atlantic City solves that problem by catering to both the young and no so young.

Some of the many places you can visit with the family include spending the day at the boardwalk, playing for hours at any of the free beaches, looking around in the historical Absecon Lighthouse, or even the Ocean Life Center’s Touch Tank where you can have hands on interaction with the sea life they have.

Then after a day filled with fun for the whole family, you can settle the kids in for the evening with some movies or games and then hit the casino in your hotel for hours of adult fun. With all the popular hotels available in Atlantic City, you will have many options that will have all you will need for your family. Among those choices for hotels you have Harrah’s Resort, the Trump Taj Mahal casino resort, and Caesars, which include both dining and entertainment along with the casinos you would expect in a gambling hot spot like Atlantic City.

Las Vegas, Nevada: Where $210 Buys a Lot More than It Used To… Jun 29

In the old days, Las Vegas was all about enticing the players to do just that, play. Free food and drinks were customary as long as you were playing, and this business model worked well for years and years.  The model has changed dramatically over the years, but now economic times are forcing the hotels to
put together more attractive packages and deals in order to entice people back to Vegas.

As a gaming destination, Las Vegas is it. It is the godfather of casino towns, there can be no doubt about that. However, the rising cost of playing and staying in Las Vegas has led to flocks of people choosing other, more exotic locations, such as Macau, for some of their gambling excursions. However, most gamblers agree that you still can’t find a better game than in Las Vegas.

That is why the major hotels are now coming up with new ways to make staying in Vegas as attractive as playing in Vegas. One such package that garnered a lot of attention was the package offered by the Luxor Las Vegas. For a price of $210 you get a room, an all you can eat pass to the buffet, a pair of tickets to each of, “Bodies”, “Titanic: The artifact Exhibition” and the Criss Angel show. With spa passes and VIP passes included as well, this makes this package one of the best deals going in town.  But the Luxor Casino Las Vegas is not the only one offering special incentives, many other casinos and resorts are as well, like the MGM Hotel Las Vegas, Main Street Station Las Vegas, or the Imperial Palace Casino Las Vegas.

The best part is that with new deals like this being offered by the major hotels, everyone else is going to have to follow suite in order to remain competitive. This means that people can watch for more and more attractive deals to be coming from other major players on the strip that offer similar inclusive
packages.

So people can once again be sure they’re going to get value for their dollar in Las Vegas. That allows them to go back to focusing on what the town’s reputation was built upon: the gaming. With the worldwide increase in popularity of poker, the town is hotter than ever if you’re looking for a game of
cards. The casinos all have their regularly scheduled events as well as many international televised poker tournaments happening in town as well, proving that there is no place to go if you’re looking to gamble that can ever beat Vegas hotels and casinos. Free drinks and food might not be back, but the focus is starting to shift back to the tables where it belongs.

Support for Our Soldiers Jun 28

I’m sitting at the desk in my hotel room after just completing our 8 hour Troopathon at the Reagan Library. I’ve gone over and over in my head trying to figure out why this year even though we had a better set, added celebrities to our line up and had better media coverage that our final funds raised to support the troops was half of last years efforts.

I turn on the TV and click through the channels trying to find coverage of our days event. I had heard earlier in the day that Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett had both died. As I clicked through the channels I found every single channel had coverage of Michael Jacksons death, even Fox News was covering it.

As I am not an “Idol” worshipper it always amazes me how engulfed people can get in the lives of celebrities. I have an “ah hah” moment and realize that could be part of the reason our event was not as successful as we had hoped for. We had lost viewers to the “Breaking News.”

Not one prone to want to listen for hours on end to all the hoopla of his death I opt to turn the TV off and lay my weary body to rest.

After arising today I turned the TV on and you guessed it almost every channel is still talking about Michael Jackson. The announcer is talking about all the crowds at the “Reagan” Memorial Hospital mourning his loss.

What a contrast, yesterday we were at the “Reagan” Library raising funds to support our troops and send care packages to the combat zone to let them know how much we appreciate and love them, and the rest of the world was focused on the news from Reagan Memorial Hospital that Michael Jackson was dead.

Our men and women are fighting selflessly to combat terrorism and defend our freedoms. These troops are willing to lay down their lives just like my son Marc Alan Lee did on Aug 2, 2006. These heroes aren’t begging for the world’s attention, they don’t seek to be recognized, honored, or worshipped, but we do need to remember them.

I thought about the world’s attention yesterday at the Reagan Memorial Hospital how engrossed they were in the death of Michael Jackson, my heart ached as I realized the priorities that most people have in life. How the media will dwell for weeks non-stop on Michael Jackson and his idiosyncrasies. My condolences go out to his family during this time of loss. I do understand the grief, the loss in losing someone you love so dearly.

This man may have entertained millions but did he do anything for their freedoms? He wasn’t willing to sacrifice his life for his buddies, for you or I as my son did, or as our troops, our true heroes are willing to if need be. Each one of our warriors who signed up to defend this nation have written a blank check to this nation and they are willing to pay what ever price is required for our freedoms including scarificing their life.

Why is the media not telling the stories of America’s Mighty Warriors, our troops? Why were people afraid to part with their money yesterday to send care packages to our warriors dodging bullets, IED’s and RPG’s yet they had no problem buying flowers and gifts, piling them at Michael Jackson’s home, at his Hollywood Star, the Reagan Hospital or other memorial sites around the world? Our priorities as a nation are so distorted.

For those of you who did participate and gave yesterday, THANK YOU! You understand the sacrifice our troops make and you have your priorities right.

Obviously since losing my son, Marc, not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and how he lived his life to the fullest. I think of the words on his headstone “Loved deeply, deeply loved” which so describe Marc. His last letter home has changed peoples lives all over the world. If you haven’t read that amazing letter you can read it in it’s entirety at www.americasmightywarriors.org
. If your moved by his letter please make a generous contribution by clicking on the donate button. He gave up his tomorrows so that you and I could have a today. Please be generous and do whatever you can for our troops, their families and the families of the fallen.

Marc wasn’t the only one with that attitude, I have seen the same character in our other brave warriors fighting for you and I. I always remember and pray for our troops who sacrifice so much for me and for this nation. They are the true heroes, they deserve our loyalty, our praise, our attention, our media focus. They need to know that we have not forgotten them. If you would still like to sponsor a care package and be part of the Troopathon 09 it’s not too late, you can do that at www.troopathon.org. How much more important to share the sentiments of your heart and your affections with someone who is living and fighting for your freedoms.

Please America check your priorities! We are a nation that was founded on God’s principles and we need to stay focused on what those are. May God continue to strengthen us and bless us as we follow Him.
