... or as they say, American) style gaming.

I had a relaxing time. Bit of shopping, eating, drinking and walking around just admiring the wealthy end of the world. It is expensive tho. Meals and drinks are way over-priced (about $17 aussie for a Johnny Walker & coke!). You even have to pay to use the toilet at the shopping centre and main tourist areas. I won some money at the main casino, then lost it (and some more) at the hotel ...

As they say in Las Vegas, everyone is ...

... ticket. If you want a return you will have to specify the train you wish to return on, and this not only cuts down on the flexibility of your day, but also does not work out any cheaper.



As we pulled in to Monte Carlo, I was keen to head out of the station to feast my eyes upon the opulence of the area. I wanted to ogle the material ...
