Here are the Top 3 casinos on our list. These three destinations represent the classiest gaming places in the entire world. They were picked because not only are they especially distinguished, but they also have incredible décor, and a unique history behind them.

3.The Clermont Club, London:

The Clermont Club has the designation of being one of the classiest gambling establishments in the entire world. It was originally founded in 1962 by an elite and wealthy group of British gamblers, known as the Clermont Set. The interior of the building is absolutely breathtaking, with a huge spiral staircase the goes the whole height of the building. Inside you will find a cozy but opulent bar and club room. The restaurant within the club provides for the finest of dining experiences. The actual gaming takes place in the Holland Room, which offers a “light and gentle ambiance.” There you can play roulette, blackjack, three card poker, and casino stud poker.

2.Casino Metropol, Moscow

This place is so cool. I have to say that I would love to make it here some day. If anyone reading these posts has been there, please write in and share, it would be great to hear about from someone that’s been there. Casino Metropol is one of the most respected casinos in the entire world. Located in the heart of Moscow, Russia, the Metropol is in close proximity to the Kremlin and Red Square. The casino is high-stakes only; even the blackjack tables have a minimum bet of $25.

Over the years the Casino Metropol has been visited by Presidents, Prime Ministers, and a number of celebrities.

1.The Monte Carlo, Monaco

The Monte Carlo is known all over the globe, and is my pick for the #1 casino in the world. The Monte Carlo opened in 1863, and is most assuredly one of the finest casinos ever built. Inside, you will find the original 19th century frescoes, inspired by the different seasons. There are 8 giant chandeliers made from pure bohemian crystal, each weighing more than 330 pounds apiece! There are a number of rooms for you to gamble in, but make sure you check out the Salle Touzet, decorated with precious woods and large paintings. This has been one of the casino’s finest rooms since its construction in 1890, the year of the first electric lighting. The reason that Monte Carlo gets 1st place is ambiance. Once you have observed this place, there will be no doubt in your mind that this really is the finest casino in the world, and has been for almost 140 years. The sense of history, coupled with the welcoming atmosphere is what makes this casino the popular destination it has always been.
