Although I haven't played all over the world, I have had the pleasure of traveling to a number of places around the US to play cards. The four trips that I've done the most or stuck out in my mind (good or bad) are New Orleans, Las Vegas, Reno, and Atlantic City (in no specific order). Here is a story or at least some words that I've jumbled up together to discuss my experiences in each.
New Orleans
This place holds a special place in my heart since it is where my girlfriend is from as well as the first place I cashed in a WSOP circuit event (see earlier blogs). It's an awesome place to play cards (Harrahs) and you get an interesting mix of people there. One of the most fun trips that I've had to New Orleans was during Mardi Gras. This was the most profitable trip for me to go there as well. I made tons of money there from drunk 'guests' to the city. The only real drawback is that when I was leaving I contemplated hard about taking a cab no more than 2 blocks to the hotel that I was staying at because there was a group of guys watching me from the rail once I started collecting a nice stack and were quick on their phones when I went to cash out (at 4AM!!!). It was no coincidence that they left the casino the same time I did...At which point I headed right back in. So, I took a cab the 2 blocks. Awesome place but not always the safest. My only real dislike of New Orleans is that they have toned down their food because the tourists say it's too spicy. Give me a break, New Orleans is about spicy food. If you don't like it, go to subway (which I think should also spice up every sandwich in there).
Next review will be Atlantic City. Until then: Good luck in everything that you attempt.
