Posted on October 17, 2017 // Written By Paul

Monte Carlo and Las Vegas are two of the most popular destinations on the planet if you’re considering including a visit to the casino during your holiday.

However, there are many other places worth checking out across the world for people who fancy trying something different.

Read on to find out more about our favourite casino city alternatives to the industry’s ‘big two’.

Macau was handed back to China by Portugal in 1999 and has since reinvented itself as the region’s gambling capital.

There are over 30 casinos, Broadway-style shows and top restaurants, making Macau one of the most glitzy destinations in the world.

Macau is the only place in China where casinos are legal due to its status as a special administrative region.

Before travelling you could be Just a Game Slot Review away from boosting your bankroll to maximise your enjoyment of The Venetian – the biggest casino in the world.

Macau is usually busy during Golden Week at the beginning of October, and Lunar New Year, which falls sometime between the middle of January and February.

Other major annual events include the Formula 1 Grand Prix in November, and the International Fireworks Display Contest during September and October.

2. Atlantic City, USA

The Boardwalk, a beachfront promenade covering several miles, opened in 1870 and joins with the historic Steel Pier which features a Ferris wheel and other amusement attractions.

The Borgata was the city’s best-performing casino in 2016, generating nearly $800 million in revenue, and has attracted major stars such as Jim Jefferies to perform there in recent times.

3. Aruba, Caribbean

Aruba is the most popular tourist destination in the southern Caribbean.

The island features miles of glorious white sandy beaches, quieter areas perfect for hiking or horseback riding and lots of opportunities for windsurfing and kiteboarding.
