5 Casinos That Look Like They've Come Straight out of a Movie

top casinos in the world Casinos come in all shapes and sizes, from low-key venues to vast resorts. They are also often featured on the silver screen, but not all real-world gambling complexes match their cinematic incarnations.

If you are a movie buff and you want to visit a casino that will meet your expectations, here are just five top locations that tick all the boxes.

Casino de Monte-Carlo, Monaco

Monte Carlo has been an exclusive European resort for hundreds of years, and its links to casino culture are just as deep.

The world-famous Casino de Monte-Carlo, situated in the stunning Place du Casino, is beautiful to behold from the outside, and even more opulent and appealing within.

The aesthetics are dripping with old-world charm, and yet the glitz and glamour of its patrons help to keep it tied to the modern-day as well.

If you take a trip to this tiny principality and head to the casino, you can expect to encounter all the usual table games, including poker, blackjack, and craps.

There are also more up-to-date experiences like slot machines, and of course, lots to do and see away from the casino floor; just be sure to pack your tuxedo!

Ameristar Casino Vicksburg, Mississippi

From the decadence of Europe to the bright lights of the USA, the Ameristar Casino Vicksburg is just as unforgettable as the Casino de Monte-Carlo, but for very different reasons.

First and foremost, it is a head-turner thanks to the fact that it is built to look like a riverboat, while still offering all of the modern amenities that guests could want.

In addition to its vast 70,000 square feet of floor space dedicated to table games and slots, it also has a popular sports betting service, as outlined in this Ameristar Casino Vicksburg review found here.

The interior is far more in keeping with what you might expect from seeing American casinos in the movies, verging towards the chintzy without ever actually reaching it. And yet for lots of newcomers, this will be precisely what they are looking for.

top casinos in the world Caesars Palace, Nevada

Arguably a casino that has appeared in more movies than any other, Caesars Palace is a dominant presence on the Las Vegas strip, and time has not eroded its imperious, awe-inspiring bulk whatsoever.

As you wander towards it under the blazing Nevada sun, you will be struck by the appropriately palatial proportions of this resort.

Once inside the blissfully air-conditioned main building, you will marvel at the expanse of marble surfaces, the fountains and statues, the sprawling stores and restaurants, and of course the casino floor.

Like a lot of casinos in Las Vegas, Caesars Palace is not just for gamblers to enjoy but is a place you can spend hours or even days wandering through, always discovering something new. It should be no surprise that it has appeared in films as varied as The Hangover, Iron Man, Godzilla, and Rocky III.

The Venetian, Macau

Like its sister casino in Las Vegas, The Venetian is a reinterpretation of classical Italian architecture, imagined with a no-expenses spared approach that transplants this to the furthest reaches of Asia.

Macau has become a huge hotspot for gambling in recent decades, and The Venetian is arguably the jewel in its crown, as well as being one of the world’s largest casino resorts.

What makes it so cinematic is not just its scale, but also the fact that the gaming floor is just a small part of its impact. Strolling through the gilded corridors and malls will allow you to imagine yourself on the set of some high-profile costume drama.

There are also the signature indoor canals, complete with gondolas to ride in, and every inch of the place is dripping with movie magic.

MGM Grand, Nevada

Another of Las Vegas’ most eminent and enduring casinos, the MGM Grand is inextricably linked to the cinema because it is of course named after a studio that came to prominence during Hollywood’s Golden Era.

In the 21st century, this casino and hotel are full of fun for all the family. Parents can enjoy the delights of the gaming floor, while kids can take in all sorts of entertainment and activities indoors and out.

In terms of its cinematic chops, the MGM Grand has featured in films such as Now You See Me, and while there are more outlandish and head-turning casinos in Las Vegas, there is no doubting the reputation of this particular venue.
