Casinos now filled out with everything a gambler could imagine to turn them into a player’s paradise. Here are five of the best casinos in the world all presented in detail for your viewing pleasure.
Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas (Top 5 Casinos)
Home of the annual WSOP, the biggest poker event in the game, the Rio is owned by Caesars Entertainment Inc (more about them later). Known simply as The Rio, it is, as you might well imagine, a busy (mainly during WSOP which runs from June to mid-July) Brazilian-themed casino resort, just a block from the main Strip. The casino also offers over 100,000 square feet of your favorite casino games include blackjack, Caribbean Stud poker, craps, keno, Let It Ride, pai gow, roulette, slots, Baccarat, Megabucks, Super Megabucks and 1,200 slot and video poker machines. Of course this being Vegas, people want a little more bang for their buck so The Rio throws in masses of the biggest shows in the city as well as other forms of entertainment, including the thrilling VooDoo ZipLine which sends the bravest visitors to Sin City, soaring higher than 400 feet in the air at electrifying speeds and offers stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Bellagio, Las Vegas (Top 5 Casinos)
The Bellagio has an interesting history due to the location it sits on playing a huge role in the history of Texas Hold’em. On the very same site once sat the Dunes Casino, the first den in the business to offer hold’em a home for the high rollers, having moved their game from the sawdust-covered floors and increasingly dangerous Golden Nugget. Anyway, once the Dunes had been developed, in moved the super high stakes Bellagio. It perfectly catches the quality, romance and elegance on the Las Vegas Strip. Throughout its 116,000 square feet, the casino packs in games include Blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker, Craps, Keno, Let It Ride, Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Roulette, Slots and Baccarat, while boasting a poker room with up to 40 tables, two of which offer high-limit zones, including Bobby’s Room. For eats, there is 24-hour tableside dining, gourmet restaurants all themed in classic Italian elegance. As an added bonus, they also provide some of the best free attractions in town, including the famous dancing fountains.
City Of Dreams, Macau (Top 5 Casinos)
The shiny new City Of Dreams Casino, another in Macau, is backed by Australian tycoon James Packer. Opened as recently as October 2015, this $3.2billion mega-casino was so heavily bankrolled that Leo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro were recruited for a fifteen-minute long commercial, which was directed by Martin Scorsese, with the trio picking up a reported $12million each for their work. Standing at 420,000 square feet, this art-deco inspired casino, complete with marble floors, is home to 1,350 gaming machines for the slots lovers and 520 poker tables for the grinders.

Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco (Top 5 Casinos)
The small country of Monaco and its capital Monte Carlo are synonymous for the high-class living and its millionaire/billionaire inhabitants. It’s also famous for its high-stakes casinos – think James Bond’s Casino Royale and you get the idea. The smartest casino in town, however, is the Casino Monte Carlo. Facing the shiny blue straights of the Mediterranean Sea, this beautiful building exudes class that new age venues of Macau and Las Vegas, for all their neon glamor, just cannot match. The bohemian building, with swinging diamond chandeliers and columned atrium, dates back to 1863 and, as well as the casino, fits in a world famous opera house. In the casino section, you’ll find the largest collection of slot machines in Europe and some hefty staked poker games too.

This supersized casino is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia, and the world’s sixth largest building at 546,000 square feet as well making it the largest casino in the world. It’s luxurious and splendid, exemplifying why Macao, home of Six Plus Hold’em, the Chinese equivalent of Texas Hold’em that plays with an extra Hole card, has leapfrogged Las Vegas regarding glamorous casinos. Sitting next to the South China Sea, the casino is, much like its cousin in Vegas, wonderfully themed on the streets and canals of Venice. Inside this epic mega center of high-stakes gambling, you’ll find 3,000 gaming machines, including Slots, and 870 table games, including poker across themed gaming rooms. More resort than a casino, there are also over twenty-seven bars, four swimming pools and three humungous shopping centers as well as hotel suites, and a large entertainment complex.
