Do NOTHING, relaxing resort

I am looking for a relaxing, do nothing resort in the US or even an island. I like the spa, casinos, and pools--beaches not necessary. Any suggestions.???

If Vegas is too busy for you, check out Biloxi Mississippi. There are many casino choices; I have been to Beau Rivage and the Grand and both have really nice spas and pools. There is also a Hard Rock Casino and several others.

Biloxi was hard hit by Katrina, but it is back up and running. The town is very historic and beautiful, so there are plenty of sites to see away from the casinos if you like. It is also located on the gulf coast so it does have beaches, however the main draw these days are the casinos.

The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island is fabulous, but it does not have the casino factor. For the gambling, you would have to go up to Little River, SC. BUT the resort is truly breathtaking. (It does have the beacn and golf, which may not meet what you are looking for.)
What area are you interested in?

Have you considered a cruise? To me nothing is more relaxing than sitting high on a deck gazing at the ocean. Spa, casino, pool opportunities abound.

No casino but I love the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix.

The Wynn in Vegas.

Agree completely with Betsy on this. Doing nothing is exactly what I do on a cruise. Try to choose one with a lot of sea days.

Or choose a cruise with lots of shore days...that way you can stay onboard and do nothing without so many people around!
