Casinò di Venezia — Ca’ Vendramin Calergi
The Venice casino operates in the Ca' Vendramin Calergi, a Renaissance palace on the Grand Canal where Richard Wagner died in 1883. The city traces licensed gaming to the Ridotto of 1638, opened by the Republic to bring carnival gambling under state control, which makes this the oldest continuously operating casino business in the world by most accounts.
The gaming rooms run through the palace's piano nobile, reached by water taxi or on foot from the Cannaregio side. French roulette and chemin de fer are dealt alongside the standard international games, and a dress code is enforced.
