The World’s Most Luxurious Casinos

The most luxurious casinos in the world combine high stakes with high glamour. From Las Vegas to Asia, opulent suites and spas sit alongside roulette wheels and blackjack tables.

The elegant spa town of Baden-Baden first became a playground for European royalty 150 years ago, and it retains an air of refined grandeur that sets it apart from gambling’s brasher establishments. This is particularly true in its opulent casino, modeled on the Palace of Versailles and decorated with baroque flourishes. It has a plethora of red-and-gold poker rooms and boasts an exclusive high-limit area where you can rub shoulders with the fat cats.

Often billed as the biggest casino in Europe, the Venetian Macau packs an astonishing number of gaming tables and slot machines into its enormous resort. Designed to evoke Venice’s enchanting twisting canals and authentic landmarks, it also features restaurants, shopping areas and a convention space that can hold 15,000 people.

In America, the second-biggest casino is at Foxwoods in Connecticut, owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. This sprawling complex has 38 restaurants, two golf courses and a private island, but it’s best known for its vast gaming floor, which is the second-largest in the country. Here, you’ll find 380 table games, 6300 slot machines and a cavernous bingo hall.
