Ron, You have obviously not sailed on some of the day cruise boats out of Florida ports! The "Vegas Experience" pales in comparison. On your way out of port you dodge jet skiers who play "chicken" with the boat. Life boat drills are a hoot. Sandwiches can't be beat as you sit on the deck & watch dolphins mate. You may also get the rare opportunity of seeing "square groupers" or Cuban rafters out for a 5 day sail. Once inside the casino, beyond the 3 mile limit, you brace yourself against a wall to shoot the dice, try to hold on to anything to stand at the roulette table, & fall off your chair at the BJ table. People watching is the best. As the boat rocks to & fro the casino begins to empty as people turn various shades of green. That's the best part for this old salt. If you don't believe me, just ask my fellow Florida chipper!
