Casino de Monte Carlo 6q105k
If we are discussing the most luxurious casino in the world, and we are leaning towards roulette, then we have to mention the Casino de Monte Carlo which is the spiritual home of the game and continues to feature in the world's top 10 Luxury Casino lists. This hotel is on many people's bucket lists- it was on ours (tick, done, loved it).
Designed by Charles Garnier, this casino overlooks the Med and is famous for its Bohemian glass chandeliers and rococo ceilings. You'll need to dress up to visit- a jacket and port are required.
The Casino Monte Carlo is well known from many Bond movies including Never Say Never Again and Golden Eye, where Bond hooks up with the villainous Zenia Onatopp for a Martini (shaken, not stirred) at the bar.
Whenever we visit the Casino de Monte Carlo, we are always bowled over by the concentration of money. This is where the seriously rich come to play and it makes for fascinating people watching.
Inside the Casino it's incredibly lavish, with room upon room of almost intimidating rococo – towering columns, gilt, marble, chandeliers and enormous paintings.
To follow the big money, you'll need to escape the hordes on the slots and cheaper tables and head for the serious gambling in the Salons Privés right in the hub of this gloriously over the top building. Or head for the Mediterranean sunshine on the terrace which opened in 2011 for those who like to bet outdoors.
What can be better than making a Complete Bet on your favourite number with the deep blue Med in the background?
Playing on the Casino de Monte Carlo Terrace 3f432i
There's a renovated Salon Blanc bar to order your martinis at (en route to the outdoor terraces). And then there are some fabulous restaurants like the Buddha Bar- this is where this luxury casino suddenly gets hip.
Or try Le Train Bleu if you like Italian food, or Les Privés for high end French cuisine.
Casino de Monte Carlo- about as far from a high street betting shop as you can imagine!
In fact there's only one problem with going to the Casino de Monte Carlo in Monaco. If you ever visit Las Vegas and stay at MGM's Monte Carlo casino on the Strip, you'll probably find it's just about the tackiest thing on the planet. I mean, this is Las Vegas, so what did you expect? But we'd advise you to head somewhere else like the Bellagio, or you'll just spend your time comparing the two. And there is no comparison!
MGM (or rather their t venture vehicle Victoria Partners) have been accused of illegally copying the name of the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo in Monaco, but the operator of the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino in Las Vegas has stated that the Monaco casino does not hold trademark rights to the name in the U.S.
Victoria Partners, the t venture between MGM Mirage and Mandalay Resort Group has filed counterclaims contending that Société des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Étrangers à Monaco or SBM for short (which runs the real Monte-Carlo Casino) does not have the rights to the Monte Carlo name.
The Las Vegas casino opened in 1996.
They do have a point- the Casino de Monte Carlo in Monaco is one of the most famous casinos in the world, and it opened in 1863.

The Hippodrome Casino has become something of a landmark destination in Leicester Square in London. If you are ever in the West End, you should pop in and check it out. It’s well worth a visit.
If you can’t make it in person, the next best thing is to play on the Evolution Dual Play roulette tables. The action is streamed live from the Hippodrome in London and you will be playing alongside the punters at the tables.
The Hippodrome is an iconic building on the corner of Charing Cross Road and Leicester Square, opposite Leicester Square Tube station. It’s been a theatre and a music hall in the past and is now a casino with a club, restaurants and bars spread out over four floors. Your other option in London is Aspers Stratford– but that’s about a 30-minute cab ride from town. The nice thing about the Hippodrome is that it’s right in the thick of it.
At the beginning of 2006, entrepreneur Charmaine Haig took on the lease of the building and set about getting a casino licence. He ended up running it as a private event venue before selling the lease on to Jimmy and Simon Thomas in 2009, who restored the building with a £40 million investment.
The Hippodrome Casino was opened in July 2012 with four floors of casino gaming, a Gold Room casino in the basement, the Heliot restaurant, six bars, a smoking terrace and The Matcham Room cabaret theatre.
The Best Bit about the Hippodrome Casino 65204g
Our favourite bit is Lola’s Underground Casino in the basement (which was formerly the Gold Room). Lola’s is a unique area with live entertainment in the middle of the gaming action, with one of London’s few craps tables (which they have renamed “Dice” for the locals), plus roulette and blackjack tables that surround a cage with Lola’s gorgeous dancing girls.
Lola’s is a throwback to the Hippodrome of 1900. Then, if you head upstairs there is a big gaming floor and sweeping staircases up to the third-floor cocktail bar. The Heliot Steak restaurant at the top of the gallery overlooking the gaming floor is a must if you like your sirloin. We had a medium 300g (10 oz) Sirloin USDA Prime Steak (medium rare). Delicious.
The main arena casino floor has a cool central bar and full-height ceiling up to the minstrel’s gallery of the original theatre. It’s a spectacular setting in which to play roulette.
Hippodrome Casino Tips
– There are lots of levels to the Hippodrome Casino, from Lola’s Underground Casino in the basement up to the top floor rooftop terrace, so check them all out!
– If you like your steaks, book a table at the Heliot Steak House: a West End legend.
– The Boozy Tea Room is pretty cool as well.
– The Penny Bar on the first floor is a great place to watch the Superbowl if you happen to be there at the same time.
European Roulette 731o5a
You’ll find lots of European Roulette tables here and plenty of video roulette games scattered about- there’s even a video roulette section around the back of the main gaming floor area.
In total, there are more than 45 casino tables with Roulette, Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Dice, Pai Gow, Baccarat, Casino War covered, plus lots of video games: roulette, slots and video poker.
And if you are a smoker, head upstairs to the 2 tier smoking terrace- you can play up here too, or just grab a drink from the bar. The whole place is just great for wandering around and exploring. Just don’t lose your mates!

The Hippodrome scores highly on customer reviews.
- “Cafes, several restaurants, multiple bars and latrines, gaming machines galore with many types of gambling tables, roulette games, pokers etc… has a stage too, an ambience”.
- “Great venue at the heart of Leicester Square. Always has great atmosphere whether you are in Lola’s underground casino or on the top floor in the poker lounge.”
- “Very good casino, lots of games going on. Minimum bet roulette tables of £5 and £10. Unable to order drinks at the main bar, you have to be at a table and order from a waitress. You can order at the penny bar upstairs, gets fairly crowded”
