Facts and practical information

The Monte Carlo Casino, officially named Casino de Monte-Carlo, is an emblematic gambling and entertainment complex located in the Principality of Monaco. Renowned for its Beaux-Arts architecture and as a playground for the rich and famous, the casino has been an integral part of Monaco's allure since it opened in 1863.

Designed by Charles Garnier, the architect who also created the Paris Opera House, the Monte Carlo Casino exudes luxury and exclusivity. Its façade and opulent interiors have become synonymous with Monte Carlo's sophisticated atmosphere. The casino offers a wide array of games, from slot machines to various table games including roulette, blackjack, and poker, attracting both seasoned gamblers and curious tourists alike.

Besides gaming, the complex houses the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo and the office of Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, making it a cultural hub as well. The casino has also made numerous appearances in popular culture, most notably in several James Bond films, which has further cemented its image as a haven for high stakes and glamour.

The Monte Carlo Casino operates under a strict dress code, especially in its private rooms, where formal attire is required. This policy adds to the exclusive and high-class experience that the establishment is famous for. Visitors can also enjoy guided tours of the casino to learn more about its history and witness its grandeur without engaging in gambling.
