The top casino hotspots around the world
There’s been a big rise in the number of people playing casino games online in recent years. But interestingly, land-based casinos have continued to be popular, especially for those looking to experience the casino atmosphere at its best.
In this article, we explore the top casino hotspots around the world to add to your travel list. Read on to find out what they are!
Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada has to be one of the most well-known casino hotspots and a city that’s most recognised for its all-day-and-night entertainment. Casinos make up a huge part of the landscape, with over 175 of them across the metropolis.
From the big brand names like The Wynn Las Vegas and The Venetian, to smaller independent casinos around the city, there is just so much on offer for a casino games lover. And with entertainment experiences, great restaurants and hotels to stay in, it’s definitely worth a visit at least once in your lifetime.
London
London, England is on the bucket list for many travellers. A city steeped in history, there are just so many different attractions to visit; from museums to art galleries, restaurants, mediaeval alleyways and more.
But did you know that London is a fantastic destination for casinos? From the 4 floors and cabaret at The Hippodrome Casino to the iconic Empire Casino in Leicester Square, there’s a whole host of options for casino lovers who are visiting England’s capital city.
The UK is also known for being bingo lovers, with games able to be played in the classic bingo halls or at a variety of online bingo sites which have grown popular in the past two decades.
New Jersey
It might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about casino hotspots, but over the past few years there’s been a casino revival. Atlantic City has been a destination for casino lovers, especially across the USA, for many years.
And in recent times the state has legalised sports wagering, which you can do at both online casinos and land-based locations.
Reno
Reno is known as ‘The Biggest Little City in the World’, and that’s due in large part to its entertainment offering, which includes some of the best casinos like Peppermill and Eldorado.
It’s also relatively close to the beautiful Lake Tahoe and worth visiting on its own or as part of a trip to California. Close to Black Rock City, it also becomes a tour stop on the way to the annual Burning Man Festival that happens annually in August.
Aruba
Aruba is home to white sandy beaches and stunning blue water, but did you know it’s also home to some fantastic casinos too? Some of the top ones to take a look at while visiting are the Copacabana, the Casablanca and The Crystal Casino; although many of Aruba’s hotels have casinos machines that you can play at any time of day or night.
It’s a beautiful place to visit for sure, but also enjoyable for those who like to spend their leisure time playing casino games.
Singapore
Singapore is a must-visit for foodies, with their central district boasting about 4,000 restaurants — so lots of choice. But it’s also become one of the top cities to play casino games.
Home to Marina Bay Sands, the largest casino resort in the world, the hotel and resort offers guests 2,500 rooms, loads of swimming pools and a gaming floor with over 600 table games. While there, you can eat at celebrity chef restaurants from the likes of Gordan Ramsay and Wolfgang Puck. And head to Universal Studios Singapore for a bit of magic that’s suitable for kids (and adults) of all ages!
Macau
Macau used to be considered the Las Vegas of the Eastern world, and it still has a huge part to play in offering visitors the opportunity to experience the best that casinos have to offer. A ferry ride away from Hong Kong, it’s home to many of the same casinos you’d also find in Las Vegas like The Grand and Venetian.
It’s also a must-visit for people who enjoy baccarat as it’s one of the most popular casino games available there to play.
