Monte Carlo Casino

Attraction Introduction Although the establishment of a casino in Monte Carlo has always been a subject of debate, the substantial revenue it generates has indeed made Monaco the country with the highest per capita income in the world. In the European Hall (Salle Europe) of the main casino, you can play — (roulette), while those interested in — can try their luck in the American-style gaming room.

However, to enter the casino, you must dress formally. Not only do you need to be at least 21 years old, but gentlemen are also required to wear a suit and tie in the evening, and shorts or sandals are not allowed. Ladies are expected to be similarly well-dressed. Additionally, an entrance fee ranging from 50 to 100 francs must be paid. Outside the main casino, on the square, the Hotel de Paris is on the left, the Cafe de Paris is on the right, and in front are several high-end fashion boutiques. Shopping in Monte Carlo is actually several times more expensive than elsewhere, but perhaps lucky gamblers are inclined to splurge here, making the shops bustling with customers.

Features

It was Prince Charles III of Monaco in 1856 who, in order to resolve a financial crisis, opened the first casino on the northern cape of the city. Later generations named the area Monte Carlo in honor of this highly controversial prince.
