Las Vegas. Nothing beats Sin City when it comes to the best place in the world for gambling. From the fountains of the Bellagio or the craps table at Caesar’s Palace, Vegas is legendary – and remember, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
Monaco is everything luxury, expensive, and chic. Although Monaco is just a short train ride from Nice, Monaco is a world of its own. Here, try your luck at the Grand Casino, Monte Carlo and rub elbows with the rich and famous.
Macau is quickly becoming an exotic version of Las Vegas and is just a 1-hour ferry ride from Hong Kong. Visit the old strip that has old oriental-like charm with the classic Casino Lisboa or Sands Casino. The new Cotai Strip that is quickly being built up with its first completed building in August 2007: the Venetian Macau, as the largest casino in the world.
Atlantic City is second to Las Vegas when it comes to gambling in the United States with an entire street devoted to casinos and hotels. With big names like Caesars, Bally’s, Harrah’s and Tropicana, you’ll feel like you’re right at home here.
Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas is by far the best place to gamble when you’re in the Caribbean. The giant resort and its giant casino offers endless play, not to mention fantastic restaurants, attractions, and beaches for soaking in the sun.
Sun City, South Africa is this side of the world’s version of Las Vegas. Also set in the desert, Sun City is 90 minutes from Johannesburg and has the casinos, water parks, animal attractions, and mega-resorts you would expect from a casino destination.
Cruise ships are by far one of the best destinations for gambling. Casinos can be found on nearly every cruise ship today and are the perfect environment for gambling, since passengers that are stuck out at sea for 1-2 days have nothing else to do but partake in a cruise ship’s offerings: the swimming pools, restaurant, spas – and casinos.
