You don't have to be a die-hard gambler to visit the Monte Carlo Casino even though, you have to admit, after visiting its magnificent lounges nine times out of ten you might want to make a bet at the slots or sit down at the gaming table. Obviously not everywhere, since like all casinos of a certain rank there are spaces exclusively dedicated to experienced players or international jet set characters jealous of their privacy. In any case, just the exterior alone is enough to make it the main attraction of Monte Carlo. In fact, what is most striking is that despite the continuous innovation in the sector, the atmosphere, in many ways, has remained that of the late nineteenth century, when Charles III of Monaco (hence the name of the neighborhood) decided to found a casino to replenish the public coffers. The style of the belle époque pervades the magnificent atrium, the Salone Renaissance with its collection of slot machines, the Salle Europe, the Salle Rosa, the Salle Blanche, up to the beautiful Salle Medecine, with its cinematic setting. And, speaking of cinema, it is worth remembering the very close link between the Monte Carlo Casino and the seventh art: from Golden Eye, one of the most famous chapters of the James Bond saga to Ocean's Twelve, sequel to Ocean's Eleven shot in Las Vegas.
