Macau<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Illustration<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Macau is a territory of China previously under Portuguese rule for 400 years. In 1999, Macau was reclaimed by China, under the condition of autonomy for Macau for the following 50 years. This \u2018offshore\u2019 status allowed gambling and casinos to prosper in Macau. And prosper they have. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau is one of the largest gambling cities in the world, beating Las Vegas in sheer size and scale. The largest casino in the world, The Venetian Macao, is located in Macau. The 39-story, 10,500,00-square-foot luxury hotel-casino r<\/span>esembles The Venetian Las Vegas. Modeled after Venice, this city\/casino even contains a network of canals snaking through it, complete with gondolas pushed along by gondoliers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau has its own currency and legal system apart from China. More than 50% of Macau\u2019s revenue comes from gambling, and the largest casinos in the world make up the skyline. The largest types of gaming in Macau include <\/span>casino games like Keno<\/span><\/a>, lotteries, and sports betting. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since gambling is illegal in China, most of the gambling tourism comes from mainland China. In addition, many Western tourists flock to Macau for the special thrill of gambling in a tropical environment, in stark contrast to desert gambling in Las Vegas. Macau also boasts a unique fusion cuisine created from Portuguese and Chinese dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona, Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona has long been one of the most desired European destinations for travelers of all kinds. The gorgeous architecture, vibrant nightlife, delicious cuisine, and sandy beaches make Barcelona a true gem of a gambling city<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s one aspect of Barcelona that often gets overlooked, and that\u2019s its casino scene. <\/span>Casino Barcelona<\/span><\/a>is the cosmopolitan gaming center that dreams are made of. There, you\u2019ll find luxury dining, exciting live music, high-stakes poker and blackjack tables, and all the slots you could imagine! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan a thrilling trip around Europe, or just Spain alone, and discover what Casino Barcelona and the many other casinos can bring you. We\u2019re sure you won\u2019t be disappointed!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cape Town, South Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gambling laws vary throughout Africa, but South Africa is home to many luxury casino resorts that house all your entertainment needs. Book a trip to the oldest city in South Africa where you can relax on the beaches or sit down and play blackjack, craps, roulette, poker, and more with other like-minded travelers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can spend your days sightseeing, surfing, or scuba diving, and retreat to a fantastic casino at night where you can win your money back! There are also many racetracks and sports betting facilities readily available for enthusiasts.  In Cape Town, there is something for everyone, and we highly recommend taking a trip as soon as you get a chance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monte Carlo, Monaco<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"An<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Few gambling meccas surpass the Old World charm of Monte Carlo. Its elegant architecture and European flair is right at home on the French Riviera, or C\u00f4te d’Azur. Monaco is an independent microstate (with its own royal family) located on the prime stretch of French coastline which includes Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez. So combine your gambling with your beachcombing, and tour the region for a serious splash of opulent culture thrown into the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most splendid casino in Monte Carlo is the iconic and eponymous Casino de Monte-Carlo. This 1863 building was featured in numerous James Bond movies, and it\u2019s architecturally etched on the eyes of the world. Several other luxurious casinos await the visitor to Monaco, including the Sun Casino, Monte-Carlo Bay Casino, and the Casino Caf\u00e9 de Paris. In addition to the gambling action, you can shop in exclusive restaurants, and dine in Michelin-starred restaurants. Afterward, take a stroll along the marina and watch million-dollar yachts bobbing in the harbor, for a glimpse of how the upper 10% live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paradise Island, Bahamas<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"An<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you dream of gambling on a beach in a Western tropical paradise, head to the Bahamas and hit the beaches on Paradise Island. Paradise Island connects to Nassau by a bridge, and the the sprawling Atlantis Resort dominates the entire island. When developers bought the island with the purpose of building a resort, the first thing they had to do was change the name from Hog Island to Paradise Island. This public image boost was the first phase of a mighty building project which would cover the entire island with a resort worthy of the image of the Bahamas as a playground for the uber-wealthy. Not to worry, though. While the uber-wealthy are paying $25,000 per night for the most expensive hotel room in the world (the Bridge Suite in the Royal Towers), the rest of us can find rooms for the more user-friendly price of $200 per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 700 slots and 85 gaming tables await you in the casino, and the resort offers a lush, tropical jungle filled with lagoons, beach bars, and enough attractions to keep the whole family entertained. Stroll through miles of lagoons and open-air aquariums to view over 250 marine species. Plunge down a six-story Mayan temple waterslide, or take a Leap of Faith plunge down into an underwater tunnel in the middle of a shark-filled lagoon. But the sharks are safely contained, and guests can splash about with dolphins and sea lions in open-air aquariums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several other resorts, beach bars, and a golf course on Paradise Island for a nice variety. You can also island hop to other islands in the Bahamas for more sea-and-sand play at the Baha Mar Hotel Casino, Island Luck, and Bimini Casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located at the southern tip of Malaysia, Singapore is a luxurious country with a booming economy. In fact, 32 Singaporeans found themselves on Forbe\u2019s Annual World\u2019s Billionaire list. Although gambling wasn\u2019t lega<\/span>l in Singapore until 2005, the country has a thriving casino scene with opulent casino hotels all throughout. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We highly suggest visiting Singapore if your budget can afford you the opportunity, as you\u2019ll never run out of exciting activities, grand adventures, and sensational gambling events.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlantic City, New Jersey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visit the world\u2019s famous playground, Atlantic City. A stroll through Atlantic City reveals very familiar street names like Baltic Avenue, Mediterranean Avenue, and Boardwalk. Only then do you realize that the classic Monopoly game board was named entirely after streets in Atlantic City. It\u2019s no wonder that Boardwalk is the big prize in Monopoly, because the Atlantic City Beach Boardwalk (built in 1870) is currently home to the most luxurious casinos on the East Coast. It was also the first beach boardwalk in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlantic City is to New York what Las Vegas is to Los Angeles. When gambling in New York and California was completely illegal, neighboring states cashed in by opening casinos. Atlantic City was originally a resort town and an escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Gambling was not commonplace until the Prohibition era, when underground \u2018speakeasy\u2019 bars, gambling, and prostitution were the big draw to Atlantic City. Under racketeer Enoch \u201cNucky\u201d Johnson (portrayed by Steve Buscemi as \u201cNucky\u201d Thompson in Boardwalk Empire), Atlantic City quickly earned its new name, \u201cThe World\u2019s Playground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rebirth of Atlantic City<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"monet<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

After the boom of the Roaring Twenties came the bust. In an effort to revitalize Atlantic City, gambling became officially legal in 1976, and Atlantic City casinos sprung up all along the Boardwalk, giving the place a huge boost in revenues<\/a> and economic reputation. Naturally, Las Vegas casino empires expanded to Atlantic City, so you can visit East Coast versions of Caesars, Bally\u2019s, Harrah\u2019s, and the Tropicana. Failed Trump casinos re-opened as the Golden Nugget and Hard Rock Hotel Casino in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roaring Twenties lavishly portrayed in Boardwalk Empire marked a second revival of sorts. Since the airing of the HBO series, several hotels and casinos in Atlantic City have adopted the 20s theme. Right down to the art deco design, 1920s-style staff uniforms, and music from that era. So for a blast from the past with all the mod-cons of this age, head to Atlantic City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heavyweight Champion Casino City: Las Vegas<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"elvis<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Nothing beats the legend of Las Vegas. Located in the middle of the Mojave Desert in Nevada, this scintillating Sin City has seen casino cruising and crooning action from legends. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. (The Rat Pack), and Elvis rocked Vegas. A gazillion lights flash and fling you into the action of the famous Las Vegas Strip. Vegas is famous for being flamboyant, outlandish, and luxurious, all at the same time. Where else in the world can you ride a roller coaster past the arms of the \u2018Statue of Liberty?\u2019 Famous singers warble on glitzy stages, magicians baffle crowds and live tigers roar. And Elvis impersonators marry giddy couples in drive-thru wedding chapel windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world-famous Las Vegas Strip lights up days and nights filled with no-holds-barred gambling action, boozing, schmoozing, and non-stop entertainment. Stay in The Flamingo, opened by mobster Bugsy Siegel in 1946. Or crash in the Bellagio, the famous casino \u2018robbed\u2019 by George Clooney and his cohorts in the film Ocean\u2019s Eleven (a remake of the 1960s film starring The Rat Pack). The Strip is also home to the largest hotel in the U.S., the MGM Grand. So suck down some free booze, gorge on sumptuous casino buffet, take in a show<\/a>, and immerse yourself in the most famous gambling venue in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as we roll into the New Year, exciting new gambling adventures\u2014and some legendary mainstays\u2014await you in 2024. Happy trails and good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
