Overnight RV Parking at Casinos
We've been living and traveling fulltime in our motorhome for over 11 years. Our current rig is a 2010 40' Phaeton and am loving it. Since we hate paying high prices for a RV Park when traveling, j...

We are on a 6 to 8 week trip right now trying to thoroughly analyse what FTing will be like for "us" when we start permanently in a year and half (we can see already what we like and don't like on a longer term basis on the road, and one will be a lot less travelling with minimum of 3 night stop offs as it's already getting tiring moving a lot as we were warned it would).
Currently parked in our 3rd Casino, O/N last night. First just south of Coeur D'Alene, and last two in Washington. Night 13 on the road just done, and only paid for night in Waterton NP and two nights in Glacier NP. First Casino blessed to win a $400 screen taking out $160+ and didn't think to ask about the membership promos! Second got two free buffets which were awesome and lost about $30, and this one for two nights, as arrived late night before last and left to explore area during day and came back for second overnight. Check on joining membership cards, as this one hubby and I got $15 & $5 play money put on our cards which entertained us a couple of hours or so.
One thing's for sure if you are a Casino camper and working to a budget you definitely have to be strict on how much fun money you take in with you has been evident. It's been quite the eye opener people watching (our entertainment moreso than playing!), with many putting in several hundred dollar bills at one end of the spectrum losing and to the extreme some others putting in their $5 and playing a 1c line at a time lasting them hours.
For us casinos will be a big part of our travels, but must be controlled on stake for us as at the end of the day the house always wins! Mixed in with pull ins where hubby likes to fish at lakes, NF, BLM and similar. Leaving now for Seattle, closest RV park for a basic site costing us $50 tonight, for what feels like just to park o/n as we are 100% self sufficient, so will use that to flush and fill our tanks again for the next week and half or so as we head up to Birch Bay afterwards and then start south down to Olympic Park and the Washington Coast before hitting Oregon.
