Four different, totally random people told me the best burger I'd eat in Austin, maybe anywhere, would be at Casino El Camino. When I showed up at lunch, I felt like maybe I had been punked.

The number of casino bus trips out of Austin, Texas is somewhat limited. Many other large cities in Texas dominate the casino trip scene. However, options are still available for the avid gambler or weekend thrill-seeker. Commercial or Indian gaming is not allowed in Texas, so for a simulated Vegas experience, consumers have to leave the state.
