Monte-Carlo Casino

The Monte-Carlo Casino is Monaco’s landmark Belle Époque gaming palace, opened in 1863 and central to the principality’s glamour. Visitors come for its ornate halls, Salons de Jeux, and the Salle Garnier opera house, as well as classic table games and slot machines. Even non-gamblers can tour the opulent interiors and admire sea-view terraces and artful décor. Dress codes and entry fees apply in certain rooms, and passports are required; Monaco residents cannot play. Nearby gardens and the Café de Paris add to the experience. Ideal for architecture lovers, cultural travellers, and curious first-time casino visitors.
