We use casino lots when they are in the right place.
Because we were running on Street Atlas early on, and I had found the overlays, one of which was for overnight parking, we have used casinos from time to time. We never managed to get there when there was even an electric place open. That is not essential when we are in Travel Mode.
One we use kind of regularly if we are westbound, is the Casino Queen in East St. Louis. There is both an FHU campground in walking distance to the light rail that can take you into town, or an empty area at the east end the we use when the FHU is closed. They provide a shuttle to the main from both.
The only bad time we has was when we had situated ourselves for the night an a semi parked nest to us and he was both idling and running a loud reefer. I moved over to a car park section (out coach is only a little smaller than a big dually or a stretch passenger van, but the security guy came and bothered me. I explained the situation and it was clear that he did not care. So I left in a manner that made my displeasure very apparent to all that might observe. There was no RVParky yet, if there had been I would have written a carefully worded review.
We never again ONPed at a casino that relegated us to the trucks only lot.
