Casinos

A casino resort is a hotel with a casino on the premises, or a hotel situated adjacent to a casino. It provides guests with the stay-and-play convenience of lodging and gambling facilities located together, often including additional resort-style amenities as well. An on-site casino will have gaming rooms designed for gambling. Common games include craps, roulette, baccarat, blackjack and multiple slot machines.

Casino age limits vary according to country and state. In most locations, there are no age restrictions on who can stay in a casino hotel. Under-21s are often welcome to stay at the resort and use the amenities, which may include restaurants, shops, theatres and pools.

Access to the casino itself however is often age-restricted. In many countries the legal gambling age is 18.

The minimum age for entering a casino varies from country to country and state to state. In some destinations, including the UK, 18-year-olds can visit casinos and are permitted to legally gamble. But in others, such as Las Vegas, the minimum age for entry onto the casino floor is 21.

If you're planning to stay in a casino hotel and intend to gamble, check the age policy in advance.

This depends on the casino. Many casino operators have a relaxed dress code allowing you to dress casually, but some higher-end establishments may request smarter attire. It's best to check the rules of the specific casino in advance.

In general, a smart-casual dresscode is advisable. When it comes to footwear, it is usually acceptable to wear casual shoes however flip flops might not be accepted.
