The clinking of slot machines, the shuffling of cards and the glitzy atmosphere make casinos an exciting destination for some travellers. Some visit cities specifically for their casino scene while others inadvertently stumble upon casinos and have a great time anyway. Whether you are a high roller or an occasional gambler, these behemoth casinos offer everything from top-billed entertainment to Michelin star restaurants and lavish hotels.

Known for their extravagant decor, these casinos boast huge indoor spaces and expansive acreage. From Paris’ opulent Casino de la Bauge to Macau’s stunning Venetian and Las Vegas’ towering mega-resorts, these casinos have set the standard in size and luxury.

These are some of the largest casinos in the world, both in terms of square footage and gaming space. Each offers five-star hotel accommodations, Michelin star restaurants and designer shops, as well as top-billed entertainment shows that range from high-flying circus acts to the latest musician concerts topping the Billboard charts.

Known for its beautiful beaches, luxurious harbour and Formula 1 motor racing, Monaco is a popular gambling destination where billionaires come to play. The casino in this opulent city is not only a major tourist attraction, but also one of the most glamorous in the world. The hotel and casino, built around a three-story casino in the heart of the city, is decorated with baroque flourishes and red-and-gold poker tables.
