Help plan my road trip?

So, I've decided to take a twelve day road trip between landing in Pittsburgh after the Minnesota tournament and taking off again from Pittsburgh to head to the Florida tournament. In between I'll visit the good folks in Alexandria Bay. So, I've got 4 days each way where I'll be looking to play some backgammon, hit some casinos, and sleep as cheaply as possible (hint....hint.....). I actually don't get out much (OK, I've gotten out like none unless I've been flying to an ABT event) so I'm looking for some advice as to where I should go. I'm thinking to hit a few Canadian spots on one leg and hit a few east coast spots on the other, but it depends partly on how enthusiastic the locals are for me to come and help stimulate their economy.

So......HALP.....where should I go and on which days? Anyone? Here is a google map link that shows my route if I'm just heading to the tourney (I hate tolls)

Here is one that goes through Toronto
