The Most Popular Grand Casino

The Most Popular Grand Casino

Any casinobearing the title “Grand” must live up to great expectations. Grand means foremost, of higher rank than others of the same class. The term conjures images of magnificence and elegance. Such a casino must be stately, majestic, and perhaps even imposing in size, scale, and scope of operations.

In North America, the grandest of such casinos is the 5,044-room MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. When it opened in 2003, it was America’s largest hotel. Set on 122 acres, its 171,500-square-foot gaming space is bigger than the Yankee Stadium. Among its many facilities are the 16,325-seat Grand Garden Arena, the 29,000-square-foot Zen-inspired Grand Spa, a lion habitat, 24 restaurants and bars, and five shimmering swimming pools. With 2,500 gaming machines and 194 tables for casino and poker games, the MGM is the epitome of Grand.

In Europe, Le Grand Casino de Monte-Carlo defines grand. Monaco’s Prince Charles III ordered the construction of this bold new gambling emporium, which has been in continuous operation since 1863. With its frescoed ceilings, crystal chandeliers, tuxedoed croupiers, and high-stakes wagering, the casino remains the centerpiece of gambling in  Europe, Monaco and arguably the entire world.

In Asia, the 58-story Grand Lisboa is truly grand. It is the tallest building in Macau and the 118^th tallest building in the world.  Its casino offers 268 gaming tables and 786 slot machines, and on permanent display there is a flawless cushion-shaped D-color diamond, which at 218.08 carats is the largest of its kind in the world.

Online, the Grand Duke Casino reflects the same grandeur found in these land-based casinos. Like exclusive gaming clubs once enjoyed only by aristocracy, it provides a sophisticated environment for wagering, marked by luxury and defined by world-class service. By offering members the high status and recognition they deserve, the Grand Duke Casino is poised to join the ranks of the most popular Grand Casinos of the world.
