 The online gaming site GR88.com (pronounced Great Eight.com if you want to know) announced the "GR88.com Top 5 Destinations" for gambling and poker enthusiasts.
 Guess what? Las Vegas was No. 1. That's no shocker, but a couple of others on the list are a surprise.
 The No. 2 destination was rural Connecticut where two major casinos lie within a half hour of each other. GR88.com says Foxwoods "is home to the one of the world's largest poker rooms and Mohegan Sun boasts both world class entertainment and high-end shopping."
 In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Dublin, Ireland is No. 3. It's home of the "Irish Open," one of the largest and most well-respected poker tournaments in Europe.
 Cruise ships collectively took fourth position, and Atlantic City was a not-surprising number five. |
