Monte Carlo Casino
Welcome offer at Monte-Carlo Casino Monte-Carlo Casino – The Crown Jewel of Monaco’s Glamour and Gaming Scene
Located in the heart of the Monaco principality, the Casino de Monte-Carlo is far more than a place to try your luck — it’s a globally recognized landmark of European luxury, style, and cultural heritage. Set in the prestigious Monte-Carlo district, just steps from the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent to the world-famous Hôtel de Paris and Café de Paris, this historic casino stands as a cornerstone of Monegasque identity.
Commissioned by Princess Caroline and opened in 1863, the Monte-Carlo Casino was designed by the legendary architect Charles Garnier, who also built the Paris Opera House. Today, the building’s Belle Époque façade, marble atrium, and ornate gaming salons offer a glimpse into an era of royal opulence. The casino is operated by the Société des Bains de Mer (SBM), which manages several luxury properties across Monaco.
Monte-Carlo Casino offers a range of gaming experiences, from classic French and European roulette to high-limit baccarat and poker rooms frequented by international elites. Visitors can also try their hand at blackjack, punto banco, and the latest slot machines, all while enjoying a backdrop of gilded mirrors, frescoed ceilings, and crystal chandeliers.
Beyond gaming, the Monte-Carlo Casino is a cultural icon. It has appeared in multiple James Bond films (including GoldenEye and Casino Royale), inspired literary works, and hosted prestigious galas and international events. Its proximity to attractions like the Monaco Opera House, Casino Gardens, and the Monaco Grand Prix route makes it a must-visit for tourists and connoisseurs alike.
Dress code at the Monte-Carlo Casino reflects its elegant tradition — after 2pm, visitors are required to dress smartly. Entry is allowed to adults over 18 with a valid ID. The main gaming rooms are open daily, and guided tours are available in the morning hours for those wishing to explore its heritage.
Whether you come to play, admire the architecture, or immerse yourself in Monaco’s elite lifestyle, Monte-Carlo Casino remains an unforgettable destination — a true symbol of the Riviera’s golden age.

Very unfriendly staff. The service staff treats visitors as third-class citizens. If you didn't drive up in a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce, you'll probably be treated as a lower-class citizen. And the most shameful thing is the toilet!!! You pay for the entrance ticket and even after buying a drink at the bar, you can't use the toilet in the slot machine room. A very rude, impolite and unpleasant bartender sent you to the public toilet in the main hall, and the toilet turned out to be like a parking lot on the highway, like a train station, a terrible and paid toilet! I don't understand why in the center of Monaco people don't have the right to use such a simple and necessary thing as a toilet! SHAMEFUL!!!!

Nice to look around. Staff are really rude seeing as the casino is a tourist attraction as well as somewhere to gamble. Nice building to look around not worth the money and standing in line though

A great experience but found the staff arrogant. No explanation about how to use the vouchers and that you have to buy chips with cash. We went in with €40 and came out with €400. Result!!

This building and area are amazing. Only 4 stars because it's more of an area to take pictures in front of. Beautiful cars in the area, everyone is easy going, but it's busy and the casino is slightly regulated as you walk in. Worth a visit for the area!!

Texas hold'em ultimate game was a blast! Dealers are very professional and helpful at explaining the rules. Great place to visit and play! The drinks are overpriced and no freebies while playing at the table. Still a must visit while in Monte Carlo.

Really beautiful and luxury interior.. you can enter free in first part but it costs 20€ to enter inside. I think you should visit as inside its alluring. (Just taking photos in second part is prohibited) but really really beautiful inside. Antique interior, every room is so beautiful u can just sit and enjoy your drink (if like me you are not a player).. outside you can see luxury brand cars, and if you are lucky also famous people. In Monaco, Casino is the must visit place. It’s interior is classy and really alluring

Beautiful building and interiors. The exotic garden nearby is also worth visiting. Don’t forget to carry your passport to enter the casino. Machines and games are not so fun as Vegas.

Walking into the Casino de Monte-Carlo feels less like visiting a gambling establishment and more like accidentally crashing a James Bond film set. The building? Dripping with old-school glamour. The vibe? Equal parts opulence and “don’t touch anything.” Inside, the casino has that polished, aristocratic charm that whispers “you probably can’t afford to breathe here,” but somehow still makes you feel welcome enough to throw a few chips around and pretend you know what you’re doing at the roulette table. But let’s be honest—half the fun is outside. The lineup of supercars parked out front is a full-blown car show. Ferraris, Lambos, Bugattis… it’s like someone typed “midlife crisis” into a search bar and manifested heaven. You’ll spend just as much time ogling the cars as you will losing €20 with dramatic flair inside. Verdict: Come for the casino, stay for the free car porn and people-watching that makes Monaco feel like Earth’s most luxurious simulation.

What to say. Landmark place, you just have to see it. Entrance is free for lobby but we also visited caffee shop inside. Gambling rooms are open only with a 20eur ticket (whereof 10 can be used for play if you enter after 14h) which is not worthy given the fact that next building is completely free casino with same games.

I visited this place and around twice, one afternoon and one in the early morning. The city is peculiar in terms of infrastructure, there are various roads, tunnels, stairs going to another level of street etc. I traveled from Nice to Monte Carlo by train, and the Casino is 10 min walking from the train station. Just across the train station you can take busses. It was quiet in the morning, and it was a nice time that I spent here. You can enter the casino lobby only by showing what is inside of your bag/purse, and you can take photos only in the lobby. You can enter the Casino's entrance part where there are slot machines with your passport, but you can not go to the main part of the casino if you won't gamble and can't take photos either. The design and architecture of the building were very nice. And you would remember the famous Hotel, The Hôtel de Paris, just next to the casino if you watched the movie Monte Carlo. We sat down in a cafe and drunk coffees enjoying the view.

Elegant and classy, but smaller than expected. Staff is friendly, and you won’t feel out of place even if you're just looking around. It’s got that James Bond vibe… minus the tux and the martini. Fun to visit once, even if your budget says “no thanks” to the roulette table.

One of the most famous Casino’s in the world. We visited Monaco at time of a Gala / Charity Event. The amount of sports cars blew my mind. The entrance fee is €19,- and you will get €10,- to either get a drink or use it in a slot machine. The entrance to the lobby is free. The inside is amazing. People are really helpful.

This casino, which was quite popular back in the day, might disappoint true casino enthusiasts. While there are certainly more modern and well-designed casinos nowadays, this place still offers an exciting atmosphere. However, it may fall short in terms of service quality. In my opinion, there’s a bit too much of a “Hollywood” effect going on. That said, the ambiance alone might be enough for some.

Located at Pl. du Casino, 98000 Monaco 🇲🇨. The Monte Carlo Casino is an iconic landmark in Monaco, it contains the Opera de Monte-Carlo which was included in the Casino by Prince Charles III in the 1870’s. The Casino de Monte-Carlo is owned and operated by the Société des Bains de Mer(SBM), a public company in which the government of Monaco and the ruling princely family have a majority interest. The gaming room of the casino is forbidden to the citizens of Monaco. This was an initiative of Princess Caroline, wife of Prince Florestan. The idea of opening a casino was from Princess Caroline also, it was a way of raising revenue to save the House of Grimaldi from bankruptcy. I found the experience of visiting the Monte Carlo Casino to be truly remarkable and unforgettable. After hearing about it and seeing it in movies all those years and to finally see it in person was something I will never forget. The architecture and grandeur of the building is incredible, the attention to detail in the design is so intricate and unique. The many luxury cars parked outside was a testament to the wealth that surrounds the casino. It’s an extremely popular location for tourists so there was obviously crowds of people there. The gardens leading to the casino are so beautiful and so well maintained. Highly suggest dressing appropriately when visiting the casino, this is a very luxurious and elegant location. I had a go the gaming room because I figured, why not? We weren’t permitted in the members area. Think this area would have been even more luxurious. An incredible and surreal experience. Highly recommend. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

Only rating the outside: the square is cool because of many fancy cars parked outside and beautiful architecture. Casino costs 19€ to enter and I'm not sure if you can play with small money anyway, so I don't think it's worth it. You can still see the lobby though

Really it was surreal visiting such a famous casino... really expensive but I expected that... you get access to the slots and gaming tables but I suspect the member area is way better ...

Park the vehicle at Underground parking. There is a restroom there, too at 3rd Floor at Railway station. Take a round on foot first. Watch proud car owners showing their expensive ( dolls) cars. Enjoy sea side parked yacht of different styles. Go inside Montecarlo Casino and play...

One word chic! Amazing crowd. Dress well if you want to be the part of the crowd😉 Monaco main train station is approximately 40 minute away, €8. My mobile data wasn’t working here, still it was easy to find nearby places and bus stops.

The experience was amazing! Unfortunately, there’s no opportunity to play in the morning; it’s only available in the afternoon. I wouldn’t recommend gambling to anyone, but I would have spent an extra €20-25 just for the experience. Sadly, we didn’t go back in the afternoon for this reason. I hope my photos will be convincing enough for you to visit the casino at least in the morning because this is something you simply can’t miss!

A must see if you're in Monte Carlo. Beautiful architecture and gives James Bond vibes. Immaculately kept! Lots of fancy cars out the front of the Casino and beautiful jewellery stores too. Obviously quite a few tourists in the area but that's to be expected. The gardens leading up to the Casino are worth walking through and a nice opportunity for photos. Also, don't miss out on the architecture behind the casino.

A holiday highlight ! We arrived in the morning so we could take the audio tour of the interior. Wow! The rooms are amazing. But, we all found listening to the audio commentary secondary to the opulent glamour we were seeing. For this reason, if the audio guides are all out with other visitors when you arrive, (as happened to two of our group) don't let this deter you. <br />The gift shop is small and pricey. The toilets are in the basement - and free to use during our visit although there is a turnstile entry with a coin slot.

In the morning, Casino de Monte Carlo is closed for gaming but open to tourists. Here you can (with your children) see the beautiful rooms, sit at the play tables (and dream). Tickets are purchased in the foyer. My sons and I thought it was a super good experience!

You should have seen that. The architecture is simply breathtaking. No waiting although it was Saturday, entrance fee 19€, a bit high but worth it.
Mr Ed TripAdvisor
Visited during the formula e Grand Prix so was slightly busy.<br /><br />The queues for the quick search that’s required to get entry aren’t that bad and you get through quickly.<br /><br />Just a mention ; there were a few tourists with larger bag packs that they refused to permit entry to and hats are required to be removed when entering.<br /><br />Overall it’s a good little visit and definitely worth seeing as the surroundings especially around the back give great views of the harbour/ Monaco

Beautiful property located in the heart of Monte Carlo. We entered for a visit inside and the building is really nice and elegant. Unfortunately when we were there there there was a grand prix passing right in front of it and so we could not fully appreciate the facade of the palace and the square around it, but it is definitely worth visiting if you pass through the Principality of Monaco

The casino is great. On the casino's website there was talk of a dress code, which unfortunately was not so much to see. To my taste, these were too many confusing kebab stall slot machines and too few of the classic gaming tables were open and of course they were always under siege.

Simply spectacular outside were parked dream cars and with possibility to take beautiful photos. Fantastic.

The casino was quite and not a lot of action at 9pm. But it was Sunday. There was more action outside with everyone taking pics of the cars. To many influencers taking selfies. It is beautiful inside lots of security as well. Overall beautiful but lacked the energy I was expecting.

Generally very good. The "strict" dress code doesn't seem to apply. It says on website €5 minimum bet=, but all tables were €10 minimum., plus the ultimate Texas hold'em says minimum €10, but it's actually 2 €10 bets that need to be placed. Staff were friendly enough, and looks very elegant.

Superb discovery of the Casino of Monaco.<br />Audio guide provided. High tempt but really to do... The casino is open to visitors every day until 1pm without age restrictions...
