With online gaming on the rise, and the casino experience no more than just a click away, there’s no wonder we’re left worrying about what might happen to the glorious buildings that are bursting with history and an atmosphere like no other. Whilst online casino offers glorious graphics, incredible animations, and a live casino so immersive that it makes up for the lack of people, and can so easily transport you to the buzzing casino atmosphere – brick and mortar casinos will always hold a special place in our hearts. Here are just some of the reasons why.

History
The history that is embedded in the walls of some of the most famous casinos is museum-worthy. The Monte Carlo Casino, for example, has stood at the bottom of the Alps since 1861, and was the product of a Prince. Prince Charles III of Monaco was set on the idea of creating a “playhouse for the rich” and with guided ceilings, paintings, columns made of onyx and an atrium built from marble and gold, he really did just that with a palace and opera house that are truly sights to behold. Many other casinos, of course, also hold bounds of history that almost make the games the second reason for wanting to visit.
Social
Despite being able to chat live with players and dealers at a live casino online, the face-to-face connection, meetings, and general chatter of the many people surrounding you, playing games with bated breath, laughing, and joking, is a far cry for online casinos. Being able to socialize and create connections are what human beings thrive off, and there’s no better place to do this than a casino.
Fashion
Casino attire, in the past, was a way to display your wealth, and now, many casinos follow a strict dress code (especially in the evenings), which gives you the perfect excuse to buy that dress or dig out your favorite suit and waltz around the casino feeling a million dollars. Whilst a perk of online casinos can often be the fact that you get to stay in your pajamas – sometimes it’s nice to get dressed up to feel and look your best.
Travel
Not only do you get to get dressed up in your fanciest outfit, but you get to explore different towns and cities as you discover some of the best on-land casinos out there. You could even make a holiday out of it – with luxury casino resorts such as Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, where, not only can you swim with dolphins, explore the ocean, spas, and everything else the private, 7-acre lagoon has to offer, but you can play a variety of games at the 85-table casino resort.
On top of this, there are also casinos that will make you feel like a movie star, such as The MGM Grand, which was featured in James Bond Casino Royale in 2006, as well as Caesar’s Palace, which is the casino most featured in films, making appearances in movies such as Iron Man and The Hangover.
Finally, let’s not forget the Las Vegas Strip – another much-loved gaming destination that has lit up the nation since 1941. It’s places like these that remind us how much of the world is out there for us to discover – and why on-land casinos will truly never go out of style.
