With so many gambling options close to Texas, there are bound to be some places that aren’t exactly five star establishments. This list highlights the best casinos close to Austin, in our opinion. Even driving from Austin to a casino, we were pleased at the number that were only a few hours away. There are literally hundreds of casinos near Texas (and one sort of in it) to choose from. But we had no idea how much the surrounding states took advantage of this fact. We knew that gambling was technically illegal in Texas. When we first searched Google for “best casino resorts near me” in Austin, we were overwhelmed. There have been countless times we’ve hopped in the car and gone to one of the many casinos close to Austin and had a blast. With Texas being such a large and diverse state, one of our favorite things are the day or two mini vacations you can take by driving. We really like to expand on all the great things there are to do around Texas as well.

Austin Daily is about much more than just events in the city.
