Casino de Monte-Carlo
The Casino de Monte-Carlo opened in 1863 and is the building that established the European idea of a casino: a Beaux-Arts palace by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris opera house, with an attached concert hall and gaming salons decorated in gilt, frescoes and stained glass. The Société des Bains de Mer was formed to develop it, and still operates it under a state concession.
The gaming rooms are organised in a sequence from the public Salle Europe to the private Salons Privés, where limits rise and entry is controlled. Monégasque nationals may not gamble. Visitors pay to enter the historic rooms, identification is required, and dress is enforced more strictly in the evening than during the day.
