Nightlife Spot: Casiṇ Municipale di Venezia

The posh Casiṇ Municipale di Venezia is really worth checking. Located inside a beautiful Venetian palace overlooking the Grand Canal... and in the heart of Venice's old town center, this casino is a good alternative to the disco.

The casino is open on weekdays from 3pm-2:30am; weekends from 3pm-4:45am (season: October-April).

What kind of games do you expect to play at the Casino?

Good question. The table games you'll expect to see include - the Baccarat, Blackjack, Backgammon, Bridge, French Roulette, Gin Rummy amongst many more.

An admission fee is payable at the entrance. I don't know what the latest admissioin charges are. But when we were last there (before the Euro currency was implemented), we paid approx. 15,000 Italian Lira). If you can speak Italian, that's cool because almost everyone here speaks Italian. However, if you can't speak and can't understand the language, sign language and some luck should suffice....!

Remember to bring along your International Passport as a form of identification - otherwise you won't be allowed to play!
