Wild Casino

Who said you have to go to Las Vegas to gamble when there's a world-class casino in Greater Cincinnati?

The Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati recently earned a spot among the top casinos in the U.S. outside of the Sin City, ranking No. 9 overall in USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards. The local casino ranked just above Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut (No. 10), and right behind Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma (No. 8).

Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Highland, California, ranked No. 1 overall.

The Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati is the only casino in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana to make the list. It's also the only location under the Hard Rock International brand to be featured.

The ranking cited Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati's 100,000 square feet of card and table games, over 1,600 slot machines, live poker, smoking patio with live gaming, and more as reasons for its high rating.
