From what I know if you pay a certain fee and the person organizing the trip cant get X # of people, then the price goes up for everyone. Seems iffy to me.Wed, 04 Jun 2008 07:06:29 GMTrawrmoo42http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxThe local newspaper summer activity supplement this week had some listed. The costs were huge! I realise we don't have a casino nearby, and they were doing lunch somewhere else but it was horribly expensive.Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:36:28 GMTChipsAlivehttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxI have been to Las Vegas and seen several of these groups roll in. They always all seemed so excited, much like 6 year olds at Disney. Gotta love them.:PMon, 02 Jun 2008 23:47:27 GMTcockdicehttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxWe have ones through the senior center mostly for seniors (and other older folk) and ones through the community center for everyone. Its really reasonable (although I imagine its going up). Normally if you live close to any attractions community centers, rec centers, and adult ed have trips like this all the time.Mon, 02 Jun 2008 04:44:57 GMThoneybunhttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxI'm chuckling at the idea of my 91 year old granny making the trek to the casino and playing the slots. Makes you wonder if they sit around the buffet and kevetch about how nice casinos were before the slot machines were computerized. :DTue, 06 May 2008 06:54:54 GMTHitMe21http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxThere are a couple of different bus companies around here that will take you to Reno. (Which is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from here.) The casinos pay the bus companies to bring you, and I think they give comps to the bus driver. All you have to do here is show up and be over 21!Mon, 05 May 2008 06:27:00 GMTpaytheline11http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxWow, a not just for seniors bus trip to the casinos? Call me ignorant if you like, but this is the very first time I have head of some sort of organized trip like this which was not aimed exclusively at the seniors crowd. Definitely something I will need to keep in mind for the future! :DMon, 05 May 2008 03:36:50 GMTGambleFeverhttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxI went on once and it wasn't just for seniors. It was a pretty good deal. It cost $17 for the rountrip bus fair, and you got $10 back when you arrived at the casino. Plus a coupon book with 1/2 priced meals and such.Sun, 04 May 2008 06:38:31 GMTpaytheline11http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxMy Grandparents always used to go on these sort of Gambling trips, every time it was being offered to them. Neither was just going for gambling however, but also for the food and special events etc.<br><br>They always had a lot of fun with them, and I don't think they ever lost too much money.Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:12:18 GMTGambleFeverhttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxMy area has these and also for anyone who wants to go. It's a good way for a group to go to Foxwoods for the day without having to take several cars and it's cheap, too. I haven't heard of weekend trips in my area but there are a couple companies that do the day trips.Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:23:46 GMTlittlebithttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic4342-28-1.aspxDoes anyone else live in an area that takes day or weekend bus trips with the seniors to gamble at casinos. I've always found it somewhat odd, but most of them seem to enjoy it. I can only imagine all the little white topped heads a the slots in rows, lol.Sat, 19 Apr 2008 04:03:23 GMThoneybun
