While Las Vegas has a wealth of great hotels with phenomenal restaurants and amazing facilities, sometimes you just can’t make it to Sin City. Or maybe you want the same mix of attractions, the gaming, golf, spa and fine dining but with some things that are missing in the Nevada dessert, like beautiful beaches and great deep-sea fishing.

I’ve covered gaming, golf and dining for nearly two decades, and I’ve been to most of the largest casino resorts in the country, Having been to a lot of major casino resorts in a lot of places, here’s my top pick for the best casino hotel outside of Las Vegas.
