C
Casino de Monte Carlo
The drama of watching the poker-faced gamble in Monte Carlo’s grand marble-and-gold casino makes the stiff admission fees, stakes and obligatory cloakroom ‘tips’ almost bearable. To enter the casino, you must be at least 18.
The Salon Europe has English and European roulette and 30/40; the Salons Privés offer European roulette, blackjack and chemin de fer. A jacket and tie are required to enter the Salons Privés and the Salon Ordinaire in the evening.

V
Café de Paris
