The Best Resorts in North America: Entertainment Edition

January 8, 2024 by Caio PucciLeave a Comment

Finding the perfect resort in North America is all about focusing on what matters most to you. Most resorts are situated by major attractions, whether natural landmarks like the Grand Canyon or destinations like major skiing mountains. Others might be more focused on events, like catering to a large concert or even a convention.

Regardless, most resorts also include a bit of entertainment for guests. One of the more common establishments to find in or around a resort is a casino. Throughout the US and Canada, the vast majority of players stick to virtual platforms that offer top games, like roulette, slots, and blackjack. These platforms are popular because they’re easy to access and also offer welcome deals to new customers.

However, many players still seek out opportunities to play live when they have the chance. And while most people immediately think about Las Vegas or Atlantic City when casinos are brought up, there are dozens of amazing resorts dotting North America that cater to casino players. Let’s explore some of the very best in terms of location, amenities, casino ratings, and proximity to other destinations.

Nemacolinn Woodlands Resort, Pennsylvania
This luxury resort is geared toward gamers who want to drop off the map for a bit. As the name suggests, this resort is nestled amid 2,000 acres of unspoiled nature in southwestern Pennsylvania. The grounds offer a championship golf course, field club, fly fishing locations, and downhill skiing, and, coolest of all, an off-road driving school.

The casino itself is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Rock establishment. Though it’s a smaller casino, it’s very well-appointed and offers a more personable boutique experience that can’t be found in large casinos.

Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, Mississippi
Once again, we’re taken into the spoils of nature to enjoy the Beau Rivage. This stylish and classically luxurious location has landed on the Top 100 list of hotels in the US for a few years running thanks to its balanced offerings.

The hotel is owned by MGM Mirage, which means this small hotel is functional and delivers on style. Aside from its gaming floor, the hotel also offers an extravagant spa, expansive golfing courses to choose from, and a large pool worth spending hours at.

Encore Boston Harbor, Massachusetts
Not all unique resorts have to be isolated in nature. With the Encore Boston Harbor, guests remain within a stone’s throw of Boston. There’s even access to the airport, financial and theatre districts, plus local universities like Harvard and MIT. Not to mention, the hotel’s city views aren’t too shabby.

As with the Beau Rivage, this location is owned and managed by Wynn. Once again, this means that guests also have access to a tastefully arranged casino. There, they can find all the best table games, along with entertaining shows and luxury dining.

Sheraton on the Falls, Niagara Falls
Let’s head north to Canada to explore one of the most stunning natural wonders the continent has to offer: Niagara Falls. The Sheraton on the Falls isn’t the most extravagant location on this list. However, it delivers beautifully on location, showcasing views of the falls, along with being situated inside an entertainment center.

The entertainment center includes a casino from MGM, along with a Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Café, Hard Rock Café, and an official Hershey Store. There’s even a waterpark available to guests, which makes the Sheraton on the Falls one of the more memorable destinations on this list.

Hyatt Regency, California
To round off this list, let’s recommend a location nestled on the shores of Lake Tahoe in Northern California. This is a top-tier location thanks to its summer and winter offerings, all based on the stunning environment. Those who arrive in summer can enjoy the lake, while those who come in winter can enjoy snowy adventures.

Aside from nature, guests will also be able to enjoy a world-class spa, an in-house casino, and high-class restaurants. The goal is to provide all the best in terms of entertainment on the grounds so that guests will only leave if they want to explore nature.
