When Carol and I plan our casino getaway we look at it as just a wonderfully fun escape. We are very cognizant of exactly how much money we are going to be willing to gamble and stick with that plan.

Like anything else in life, this tempation can be dangerous for some people. There are many people out there who have become addicted to gambling and the downside of that is that they can put themselves and their families in troublesome debt.

Unfortunately, that is why the pawn shops and "get money quick" places are strategically place enroute to the casino. I snapped a picture of one of these many places along the way.
