Lonely Planet review

Montecasino consistently draws more visitors than perhaps any other attraction in Jo'burg. Based around a large casino, this spectacularly cheesy development features an entire 'Tuscan village under one roof', with a menagerie of concrete doves, restaurants, shops, bars, the Pieter Toerien Theatre and the pleasant Montecasino Bird Gardens, where you can get a blast of country air in the heart of the city.

The designers of the 'Tuscan village' left authenticity at the door (even the wall cracks are painted on), but it makes a unique change from the sparkling floors and muzak of many of the city's shopping malls.
