I am really not much of a gambler, but I enjoy the opulence and beauty of so many of the new casinos. And I do like slots!

If you’ve driven the Las Vegas Strip lately, you may have noticed some major construction going on just below the Stratosphere, near the northern end of the Strip.  Which previously has been a neglected area for new construction, but Las Vegas is running out of room!  Eventually downtown and the strip will connect.

There are two major projects here, the first of which is the SLS Las Vegas, a 1,600-room luxury ($400  million  rebuild) casino resort from growing hospitality company sbe. This will be the fourth SLS property in the US (New York, South Beach and LA, while sbe also operates Redbury Hotels and the Raleigh in South Beach).

Macau, one of the hottest new international gambling locations, is known worldwide as “the Monte Carlo of China.” However, don’t expect any draconian rules here – Macau is home to some of the biggest, most exciting casinos and casino hotels in the world. Hotel Lisboa – The Lisbon Hotel in Macau is renowned as a symbol of Macau. It looks like a cross between a Western luxury five-star hotel and a traditional Chinese lantern, all 15+ stories lit up like a beacon in the middle of Macau.

MONACO – Monte Carlo, the Hotel de Paris; Famous for its jet-set lifestyle and magnificent casinos, Monte Carlo is ideal for a high rolling holiday. As for the lodging of choice, none can compare to Hotel de Paris, connected to the Place du Casino by a mere flight of stairs. Despite how popular this opulent hotel has become since it first opened in 1864, it still retains an air of discretion.

So we all kind travel the world this year?! You can still gamble from the comfort of your home. CasinoSpesialisten offers  everything from blackjack to roulette, plus mobile casino for your phone or tablet.  So until you can get to Macau or Monaco, stay home and get online!
