Vegas and Atlantic City make this list of gambling getaways.
Monte Carlo
The storied principality of Monaco is famed for its royal family, rich residents, tax-haven status, Mediterranean landscapes, and, most of all, its high-stakes casinos concentrated in glamorous Monte Carlo. Nowhere on our list is glitzier than the majestic Monte Carlo Casino, an opulent example of 19th-century belle époque architecture designed by Charles Garnier (the same architect responsible for the ornate Opéra Garnier in Paris). Inside, a marble-paved atrium surrounded by giant onyx columns leads to both an opera venue and a casino floor, where slot machines, roulette, and gaming tables lie between sculptures, frescoes, and paintings. Dress to the nines, and walk in looking like a million dollars. With any luck, you may just leave with a bank account to match.
