Casinos\nhave historically attracted glamour, glitz and wealth. But the bright lights\nand the exciting buzz of today are quite different to the old-world\nsophistication traditional establishments oozed back in the days of classic\nHollywood movie stars taking to the tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\ngot us thinking about the oldest casinos in the world and what they\u2019re offering\ntoday. Pull up a stool and take a tour through these grand old buildings that\nwere gaming hubs long ago\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casino\ndi Venezia (1638)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the casino with the claim to being one of the oldest in the world had to come from Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believed to have been trading as far back as 1638<\/a>, the Casino di Venezia in Venice is unsurprisingly situated along the historic and stylish Italian city\u2019s world-famous canals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\nits entrance on the Grand Canal and adorned with classical Venetian\narchitecture, it is possible to picture the Venetian elite sailing up and\nenjoying aperitifs here as they mingled and gamed, as much of the extravagant\ndecor still echoes older times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Casino di Venezia is offering players the chance to live the high-life for an evening or two by dressing up in their best and trying their hand at classic games like blackjack<\/a>, roulette<\/a> and poker<\/a>, as well as fine dining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is also home to around 600 slot machines<\/a> – not something those old Italian idols will have encountered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casino de Monte Carlo (1863)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Known under a different name when it was established back in 1863, the Casino de Monte-Carlo<\/a> is one of the oldest and biggest casinos in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its\nnew name came in 1866 in honor of Prince Charles III, who led the casino\u2019s\ndevelopment – \u2018Monte Carlo\u2019 meaning \u2018Mount Charles\u2019 in Ligurian.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncasino famously featured in the James Bond movies Casino Royale<\/em> and Goldeneye<\/em>.\nPerhaps unsurprising given its location, history and pedigree, the casino still\nwelcomes the rich and famous today to its grand rooms and grounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the luxury cars, you\u2019ll find exclusive bars, lavish concert halls, a theatre and expensive restaurants<\/a> – making it a dining and cultural attraction too, where you can enjoy both opera and ballet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nthe view from the front with the water feature? Nothing short of lavish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casino\nBaden-Baden<\/strong> <\/strong>(1820s)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find Germany\u2019s oldest casino in the popular and historic spa town of Baden-Baden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nallows you to imagine the type of clientele the casino may have hosted back in\n1820s or 30s, when it was originally constructed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still boasting neoclassical architecture and grand, opulent interiors, the casino is open to guests today and is set in the stunning Kurhaus<\/a> – the area\u2019s spectacular social hub that holds events and conferences, and houses a spa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\norigins may date as far back as the Roman Empire, which gives it some serious\nhistoric clout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channeling this energy, it currently combines lavish decor<\/a> and chandeliers with more modern additions like slot machines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crockford\u2019s\nClub (1823)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UK, or London, could never be far behind when it comes to historic casinos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crockford\u2019s\nClub lays claim to being one of the oldest after opening in 1823 as a\ngentleman\u2019s club, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nmembers\u2019 club for a long time, Crockford\u2019s is believed to have attracted\nheavy-weight politicians and decision makers rather than the glitterati. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A turbulent history<\/a> meant it closed and was refounded a few times between 1823, 1845 and 1970, when it finally shut its doors for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name, however, still lives on as a highly luxurious casino nearby – yet it has no real connection to the original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
