casino resorts

Vegas-style vacation spots

Casino resorts are destination complexes that combine gambling facilities with hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and other amenities.

They differ from standalone casinos by offering complete vacation experiences—guests can gamble, dine, see shows, and sleep without leaving the property.

Las Vegas built its reputation on casino resorts.

The model has spread worldwide, from Macau to Monaco to tribal lands.
