Monte Carlo hotel casino

In the beginning an unsuccessful attempt to open a casino in Monte Carlo has been undertaken. It brought just losses and troubles until former owners have not sold concession on a casino to the financier and banker Francois Blank. He had big experience, inexhaustible energy and large monetary resources. He has erected a building of a new casino almost during one night. Now Monte Carlo hotel casino is the center of a rest and hazardous entertainments. Monte Carlo hotel casino consists of two buildings: the summer casino, which has been constructed rather recently, and the winter casino that was built while Blank was alive. The wide marble ladder leads in the winter casino. The "commissariat" that is on the left is open from 10 am till 2 pm. Here tickets in general and special game halls of Monte Carlo hotel casino are sold. A high oval hall is behind an entrance. There is an “Atrium”, the gallery designed by French architect Dyumulen that is under a ceiling along the walls of the hall. There is a theatre at once behind the hall and it leads to gambling halls, which are decorated tastefully by the best artists of the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th centuries. Visit Monte Carlo hotel casino, walk through all the 14 gambling halls and feel their spirit of greatness and passion by yourself.
