There are many things you can do when you go travelling around the world, and one of the things some adventurous people like to do most is visit the local casinos.

Today’s land-based casinos worldwide have more than just gambling activities. The rise of online iGaming operators has put land-based casinos under a spotlight. Land-based casinos couldnโ€™t offer what online casinos offer. One of those key things is convenience. Experiencing the thrill of a casino is what many go to land-based casinos for, but travelling halfway across the world for a great experience is far from convenient.

Online casinos are very different. When players login to play at an online casino, they know theyโ€™ll be met with a huge gaming catalogue. All game formats, from slot games to table games can be replicated โ€“ or even improved โ€“ in the online space. For instance, the range of casino games by Royal Panada extends from slot games and table games to jackpot games and scratchcards.

All typically available in land-based casinos or other in-person venues, but all much more conveniently accessible via a web browser. Playing from home may sound like the opposite to a transatlantic vacation, but it doesnโ€™t mean you have to sacrifice any of those key qualities that make casinos so desirable, the variety, and the excitement are all still there.

Why should I visit a land-based casino when I next go travelling?

Land-based casinos have adapted, emphasising that their physical presence is still relevant. There are many other things to do, too, such as fine dining, relaxing and being pampered in the spa, getting healthy in the fitness centre, shopping, and so much more. Find out more right here.

You would be surprised at just how impressive today’s best land-based casinos are. You can be entertained for hours on end without having to gamble away your hard-earned money.

Casinos today are more than just casinos. They’re typically self-contained resorts with lots to do for people of all ages. Land-based casinos cater to singles, couples, families, groups of friends, and groups of colleagues in various ways.

As well, land-based casinos are set in some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, and the buildings have modern facilities and stunning structural designs.

Which are the best land-based casinos in the world worth visiting?

There are literally too many beautifully designed land-based casinos worth visiting to list here. Instead, here are just 10 of the world’s best land-based casinos you must visit, to begin with, especially if you’re in the area.

Honourable mentions

If you enjoy visiting any of these top-rated land-based casinos when you next go travelling and want more suggestions, you may also like to try the following casinos when you’re next in the area.

You have the Casino Baden-Baden in Baden-Baden in Germany, the Atlantis Resort Casino in the Bahamas, the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

You also have the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort in Atlantic City, the Casino La Seyne in La Seyne Sur-Mer in France, the Grand Lisboa Casino in Macau, China, the Casino de Genting in Malaysia, and the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, to name a few.

What’s the minimum age requirement to enter land-based casinos?

The legal minimum age required to enter and then gamble at most land-based casinos worldwide is usually just 18. However, in certain parts of the world (for example, a few Canadian provinces and US states), the legal minimum age to enter land-based casinos might be 20 or 21.

In other words, always carry out your own research into the minimum age before attempting to enter a casino. You can generally find this information by checking out their official websites or by contacting the casino directly (by email or telephone).

Do I have to dress up in special outfits to visit land-based casinos?

Yes and no. Some casinos have a strict dress code, and others don’t. The general rule is to try and dress up in smart-casual clothes. In other words, don’t dress in tatty worn-out clothes that are full of stains or holes. Have a little bit of respect for the building you are about to enter.
