Casino du Monte-Carlo is the first gambling house in Europe and one of the oldest gaming venues on the planet. By the way, no matter how funny it was, gambling revenues saved the country from the economic crisis at the end of the last century.
Not surprisingly, you have to pay for it even for the entrance, and the price is about 10 EUR for a simple inspection of the casino building and common gambling halls, 20 euros - visiting private halls, the entrance minimum for roulette is 200 EUR. However, even paying money, you can still not get inside - the dress code in the casino is very strict, you need to be dressed at least in a jacket and tie.
If you are indifferent to roulette and poker, do not miss the opportunity to visit the Opera House (it is also called the "Garnier Hall"), which is considered one of the most beautiful casino halls. It was here that Fyodor Shalyapin and Sergei Diaghilev's ballet once spoke
And there the secret meetings were held by the elderly Belgian monarch Leopold II with his beloved young courtesan Blanche Delacroix (who eventually married 5 days before his death) . So do not miss the opportunity to visit the Monte Carlo casino, even if you are not tempted by chips and the rustle of bills.
Casino (exact address: Place du Casino, 98000 Monaco) is located on the avenue of Monte Carlo, you can easily find it - right in front of the entrance is a fountain with a green lawn. It works daily from 14.00 until the closing of the slot machine hall
