How to Choose a Casino Hotel or Resort in Europe
In Europe, the casino is rarely inside the hotel. The best trips pair a great casino with the right hotel and town.

Decide what the trip is really about
For glamour and people-watching, the Riviera is hard to beat. For history and architecture, choose Venice or Baden-Baden. For relaxing days and a casino evening, look at lake resorts such as Montreux or Velden.
Check the season
Seaside and lake resorts are at their liveliest in summer, while spa towns and cities work all year. Some venues change opening times or locations by season.
Stay within walking distance
Many classic casinos stay open late. A hotel within a short walk makes evenings easier and saves on taxis.
Look beyond the casino
Spas, restaurants, beaches and day trips make the biggest difference to a casino weekend. Pick the destination first, then the hotel.
