Many California casinos offer resorts with non-gambling amenities.
Las Vegas is likely the first location that comes to mind when a person thinks about flying away for a casino getaway. While Las Vegas is still the leading gambling destination for travelers coming from outside of driving distance, there are several casinos in California that cater to non-local residents. These casinos are near major airports and offer amenities to entice visitors beyond the casino action.
