I love to gamble and when i lived in NJ was in Atlantic City at least once or twice every 2 months. I moved to Florida in 2005 (well actually BACK to FL, i lived here before) . I have been a lurker for a longggg time and enjoy all the great information, trip reports and adventures that you all post. I thought to myself today, i'm gonna join the board! I've been lurking long enough! My favorite places in Atlantic City are Bally's and Wild Wild West. Will be making a trip to NJ in October to stay there on comped rooms of course! I've never been to Biloxi but am trying to plan a trip there possibly the end of the year or early next year sometime. My husband is not a big gambler but a BIG FISHERMAN and from some of the information that I've read about Biloxi there are charter boats and great fishing there! I do have a question for the people who live in FL...Do you find it easier and more economical to drive to Biloxi or fly? Looks like it would be an 8 hour trip for me to drive. I don't mind the drive but don't want the cost of the trip to cut in on my gamblin' money (I am farrrrr from a high roller! Well, i'll quit babbling and post this already! Keep the great trip reports coming! Nice to meet everyone! Stacy

Either way the cost is going up. I drove from Daytona Beach one year over to Biloxi and it took for ever to get there. Glad you came in from the cold and joined us. "Always do right.

So it was a long trip, huh? Hmmm...yeah...mapquest says 8 hours or so. We'll see.... and like you said, the costs are going up either way. Thanks for your input and thank you for the warm welcome!!!

Might be a good way to take the first trip to Biloxi versus the hassle of driving - unless of course you need to bring your husband's fishing gear!

Wow i didn't realize how many people are from Florida on this board...maybe someone needs to introduce this board to Governor Christ so he can see how much we need casinos like Harrahs, Ballys etc. I wouldn't object with them building a strip right in Daytona Beach!

I live in Florida, but I'm in the Panhandle so Biloxi is a close drive for me. You will love this board. There is so much good information that is shared. Yuku has a lot of quirks and we haven't figured them all out yet, so I can't answer your questions about why you get the extention on your user name sometimes. Again, welcome. Enjoy your next gambling adventure!

Your path sounds similar to mine. Grew up in South Fla, moved to Long Isl., NY 25 years ago (a regular at the Borgata in AC), & I hit No. Fla. & Biloxi on trips 1-2 times a year. Up unitl you make your trip, keep posting on the board. As you've seen, there is a lot of info & an all around good time here. I'm sorry that I can't help w/ any yuku questions; I'm lucky I know how to turn on my computer in the morning. Thanks for posting & good luck when you do hit Biloxi.----Mike PS: I don't think you were babbling. You want to see babbling, check out some of my old posts.

Graduated HS and college here (UCF) then moved back to NJ in 1999. Lived there for 6 years and moved back to FL in 2005. Met my husband in 2002 got married in 2004 and couldn't afford to live in NJ anymore because of the rising prices. So, we moved here. Things are good but i miss NJ alot. That's my story in a nutshell lol! Don't know if we'll stay in FL forever but it's working for us right now I've always wanted to visit Long Island, my husband has gone fishing out there a few times. Just from my lurking, i feel like i know some of you already LOL! FL Mary - i'm jealous that you're that close to a casino!!! nice to meet you! ~Stacy

Lauderdale but none from further up the east coast of Florida. Perhaps driving is your best option. Would you enjoy a night in the panhandle coming and/or going to break up the drive? The beaches sound quite lovely and there are many dining options from what we read here. We're still another six years away from retiring but when we have unlimited time, I think we would enjoy driving. Vacation days are the biggest factor to us at this time.

I live in Sweet Home Alabama (although I'm originally from Louisiana), so I don't know squat about the driving distances etc. from FL to Biloxi. Takes us (me and hubby aka John Wayne) a little over 4 hours to get to B town from Birmingham. So you liked living in New Jersey? I've never lived any place north of the Mason/Dixon line. What kind of gambling do you enjoy? Slots? Table games? VP? Cathy
