The Tri-State Area, comprising New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, is home to over 23 million people. And you can make the most of your time here, with a little bit of planning.
Start by getting to know the area. The three states are quite different from each other, so it’s important to spend some time learning about all of them. New York City is, of course, the most famous part of the state, but upstate New York has a lot to offer as well. New Jersey is home to the Jersey Shore, as well as many urban areas like Newark and Trenton. And Connecticut is known for its picturesque towns and countryside – perfect for a weekend getaway.
Whilst online casinos like Novibet provide us with the perfect chance to enjoy casino games from the comfort of our own home like Bluechip casino, it is an altogether different experience to actually step foot inside a grand casino. It is for this reason that so many people head down to Atlantic City when they are on a trip to New York, in order to enjoy the very best that New Jersey has to offer. If you have plans to go to a casino in the city, here are the best ones to hit first.
