Top Casino Hotels
Park Hyatt Mendoza
Inside an elegantly restored, 19th century Spanish colonial façade is the two-story Regency Casino Mendoza. European-style ambiance and personal service is enjoyed by gamblers from all over the world who come to try their luck at punto y banca, a variation of baccarat.
Bellagio
When it was built 20 years ago (in 1998) on the Las Vegas Strip, the Bellagio’s $1.6-billion price tag was the most expensive ever for a hotel. Built by Steve Wynn and later purchased by MGM Resorts International, the 36-story property — famous for the immense dancing fountains out front — has 3,015 rooms. High-tech in-room amenities and high-end service are calling cards.
Marina Bay Sands
One of the must-see sights in Singapore is this property’s sprawling, skyline-kissed infinity pool located on the rooftop. Down below, an extravagant casino is filled with more than 2,300 slot machines and 500 gaming tables. You can eat at Wolfgang Puck’s CUT or Mario Batali’s Osteria Mozza, or take advantage of the high-end Banyan Tree spa.
Aria Resort & Casino
The 4,004-room Aria Resort & Casino is but one of four hotels in Vegas’ massive CityCenter complex, which covers 5.4 million square feet. When the last bulldozer left and all the technology was put into place, the final construction bill totaled $9 billion.
