6 of the world’s best gaming vacation destinations
Online gaming with sites like Gaming Club Online Casino have captured a large amount of the market, but there’s nothing as exciting as visiting a casino while you are enjoying international travel. Here’s our list of 6 of the most exciting gaming destinations across the globe.
Las Vegas is the original home of glitz, bright lights, debauchery and big wins. Vegas offers 24/7 entertainment with huge casinos, Cirque du Soeil shows, drive through weddings and a nightlife that thrives on excess. The spirit of Las Vegas is captured by hotels and casinos like the Bellagio with its famous fountains set to symphonies and the MGM Grand that offers nonstop entertainment and some of the best shows in the world. Both resorts offer guests opulence and luxury in a city that’s truly one of a kind.
Macau in Asia has become the Vegas of the Orient and surprisingly offers more casinos than Vegas itself; the biggest casino resort in Macau is the Venetian, which is worth a visit just to see 4 football-field size casino floors and appreciate the sheer luxury and hospitality on offer. Macau visitor’s senses are overwhelmed with more than just the Vegas- style strip of casinos, they are treated to an incredible fusion of east meets west and the flawless merging of European and Chinese cultures is evident in the architecture, temples, churches, museums, history and food.
If you are after the epitome of luxury and class Monte Carlo is the place for you. Plan a deluxe trip to the principality of Monaco and be treated to the standard of luxury you would expect from the playground of the rich and famous. Play with the who’s who at the Casino de Monte Carlo and be charmed by the atmosphere of yesteryear and the old school glamour that gives this casino its own special brand of distinction. The Casino de Monte Carlo comprises of 2 sections, the ground floor with the atrium houses slots and table games, is slightly more casual and is open to tourists for a fee. The Salon Prive opens later in the day to serious gamblers and offers exclusive, private salons where only one game is at play at a time. The casino enforces both an entrance fee and strict dress code, and although tuxedoes and ball gowns are no longer compulsory it is requested that appropriate attire is worn-no shorts or flip flops downstairs and a jacket is required after 8pm in the salons. In Monaco, as in the Bahamas, it is illegal for citizens and residents to gamble at the casinos, so guests will need to carry their passport as identification, and to claim any winnings they may acquire. Olde class casinos, Super yachts, Grand Prix, pristine coastlines and high society are all synonymous with Monte Carlo and a visit here is a must for any discerning casino fan.

The casino features over 500 state of the art gaming machines and tournaments and promotions are held weekly, welcoming visitors to a gaming paradise with amazing ocean views.
