Designed by Charles Garnier in 1863, the magnificent casino is decorated with marble, onyx, frescoes, and sculptures. More than just a gamer’s heaven, the casino in Monte Carlo is a symbol of the wealth and clientele that Monaco attracts. Here, one can see billionaires dressed to the nines in tuxedos and ball gowns, chauffeur-driven Rolls Royces, and high-rollers betting large sums of money on roulette and poker.

If you’re interested in being surrounded by the rich—and sometimes famous—the Grand Casino Monte Carlo should definitely be a stop on your itinerary while visiting the Principality of Monaco.

The Grand Casino Monte Carlo is open daily for those wishing to try their luck. You must be eighteen years of age in order to enter the casino and there are no exceptions, so be sure to bring a valid form of identification with you as you will be asked to present it to one of the guards. Although formal dress is not required as it was years ago, smart dress is strongly encouraged, and no shorts or flip-flops are allowed. Despite the more relaxed dress code, many patrons still dress in suits and long gowns, giving the Grand Casino Monaco a true upper-class feel.
