There comes a point in everyone’s life when the humdrum and the drudgery becomes a little too suffocating to handle. When this dawning occurs we need a shot of excitement to wake us up, a little glitz and glamour to get the blood pulsating through our veins once more, and out of all of the world’s plentiful destinations and locales, only one sort can fulfil these desires: casino cities! If you want to live the high roller lifestyle then destinations such as Nevada’s ever-popular Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, and many more!

Las Vegas

We simply had to include this destination first on our list. Vegas is the quintessential American gaming destination, featuring hundreds of different casinos, shows, attractions and other forms of jewel-studded entertainment. Whilst you’re there, check out the Fremont Street Experience; five blocks of casinos, malls and shows in the centre of the city here are covered with a huge barrel vault canopy, acting as a gigantic screen!

Monte Carlo

Compared to Las Vegas, Monaco’s Monte Carlo district is excessively upmarket; great news for those for whom the flashing lights and American excesses of Vegas are a little too much! The Monte Carlo Casino, first completed in 1863, is a beautiful, exceptionally classy establishment. As well as having the chance to win large sums of money, the location is a must for culture lovers- the Grand Theatre de Monte Carlo and an office of Les Ballets de Monte Carlo are both located within the sumptuous grounds. Even if you don’t get to gamble much in Monaco, the sheer beauty of the city should be seen nonetheless. After all, you can always play whilst travelling to and from the city at one of the world’s plentiful online casinos! Just be sure to turn off your device during takeoff and landing!

Atlantic City

Once a hub of all manner of hilarious and dramatic excesses during the time of prohibition, Atlantic City, New Jersey, has shed much of its gangster cache since the 1930s, but still remains a hearty casino destination. With eight casinos and a number of smaller haunts, many of which are located along the city’s famous seafront boardwalk, where visitors can see the sights, enjoy a bite to eat, and take in a deep breath of the soothing sea air!

Macau

Our final gambling destination is located in the south east of China, and is one of the world’s newest gambling hubs. The city is popular with millions of Asian gamblers but is truly a world city at heart, the city’s huge economy based very much on tourism revenues. Casinos such as the Sands Macao, Wynn Macau and the MGM Grand Macau are well known for their glittering, neon-emblazoned towers and huge payouts- make sure you get your share too!
