Luxury destinations for students

If you enjoy travelling to different university cities like myself and want to have an exciting experience, combining gaming with travelling may not be a bad idea. Few students are aware that the best luxury destinations in the world are also accessible to university students.

I've travelled around the world for many years, and only a few things are comparable to the excitement of a casino night. I have visited the best and most popular casinos in the US, Asia and Europe. That's why I have decided to list what I think are the best luxury destinations for students.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

At Monte Carlo, you can visit the world-renowned casino or the F1 race. However, find out the casino's opening hours in advance, as the casino may have exceptions in the opening times during the F1 weekend. The casino in Monaco is not terribly big, but it is still legendary. James Bond, for example, has been to the casino, and the casino is often full of rich and well-known people.

To get to Monte Carlo Casino, you must be ready to put some money on the line. For many, a more sensible option might be just to take photos from the parking lot. That parking lot is a real car show where the wealthy showcase the world's finest and most expensive cars. If you'd like to gamble but don't have the means to do so at the casino, then one option is always to play online at a Trustly casino.

Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

One of Las Vegas's most famous casinos and landmarks is Caesars Palace, which has also been featured in numerous popular movies. This 28,000-square-foot gaming complex is a must-see because it's simply as good as a casino can be.

Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel, casino and shopping complex. For many people, Caesars Palace is the first casino-themed travel destination. You can also come across top celebrities at this casino, such as Elton John, Frank Sinatra and Celine Dion, who have all performed at the casino.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Opened seven years ago, the Marina Bay Sands Casino and Hotel is a magnificent building complex with the most expensive construction cost in the world - $ 8 billion. The complex is certainly not just a great casino, but there are, among other things, stunning swimming pools, two large theatres for various performances, and crystal pavilions floating on the water. The huge Sands Skypark, a one-acre terrace that connects three 55-story hotels in the area, is perhaps the hallmark of Marina Bay Sands.

The ArtScience Museum, which is in the shape of a lotus flower with a beautiful rainfall, is another magnificent attraction. The roof is illuminated at night with a magnificent laser show.

Travelling to Marina Bay Sands is easy. Casino visitors can use the shuttle service from the airport to Marina Bay Sands when arriving in Singapore by plane. Transfers are also available throughout the night, so arrival time does not matter.

Casino Lisbon, Lisbon

Casino Lisboa is located in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. The casino first opened its doors in April 2006 in the Pavilion of the Future in the Parque das Nações residential area. Consider Casino Lisbon, especially if your bank account isn't stacked.

In my opinion, the casino is the best in Europe. However, while Casino Lisboa is not as exclusive as some of its competitors, it is still full of gold and flair. The casino has over 1,000 slot machines and around 300 gaming tables. Enjoy a drink in one of the casino's eight bars while you play, or attend an evening show in the 600-seat theatre. You can also stay in one of the hotel's many relaxation rooms to doze off at night.
