Monaco Grand Casino Dress Code
The Grand Casino Monaco, located in the district of Monte Carlo, is one of the world's most famous and glamorous casinos. Designed by Charles Garnier in 1863, the magnificent casino is decorated with marble, onyx, frescoes, and sculptures. More than just a gamer's heaven, the casino in Monte Carlo is a symbol of the wealth and clientele that Monaco attracts. Here, one can see billionaires dressed to the nines in tuxedos and ball gowns, chauffeur-driven Rolls Royces, and high-rollers betting large sums of money on roulette and poker. If you're interested in being surrounded by the rich—and sometimes famous—the Grand Casino Monte Carlo should definitely be a stop on your itinerary while visiting the Principality of Monaco.
The Grand Casino Monte Carlo is open daily for those wishing to try their luck. You must be eighteen years of age in order to enter the casino and there are no exceptions, so be sure to bring a valid form of identification with you as you will be asked to present it to one of the guards. Although formal dress is not required as it was years ago, smart dress is strongly encouraged, and no shorts or flip-flops are allowed. Despite the more relaxed dress code, many patrons still dress in suits and long gowns, giving the Grand Casino Monaco a true upper-class feel.

Answer 1 of 18: I see several other posts, but many are not recent. I understand that nighttime has a much more formal dress code, but during the day, what is the dress code minimum to enter the casino? This portion of the casino definitely does not have a dress code. If you want to enter the 'Grand Casino' itself there is an entry fee charged (at least for those of us that are 'commoners' I guess.) It is well worth going in! There were men in coat and tie, some with coat and jeans, and others without coats at all. Answer 1 of 9: Hi me and my boyfriend are travelling to Monaco in September and the casino is on our list of things to do although, struggling to find a detailed dress code, we've gathered he has to wear a jacket and tie etc. Although I can find no mention of. Smart casual dress is the order of the day. In Monaco, that means a dress, skirt or pants for women and a shirt or polo shirt with jacket/blazer and trousers for men. Shorts are not recommended for men or women. In terms of footwear, men should wear closed, polished shoes and women can wear high heels, flat shoes or sandals.
As you enter the largest of the casinos in Monaco, you're sure to be awed by the atrium paved in marble and filled with onyx columns. As you continue your walk into the palace-like building, be sure to spend time in the Salle Garnier, the opera auditorium. The auditorium is decorated in red and gold and plastered with sculptures, reliefs, and artwork. Internationally renowned operas, ballets, and concerts are held here, and if you happen to be visiting while one of these works is in town, and you have the money to spare, you should consider buying tickets to this splendid entertainment.

For the gaming options, the Grand Casino Monaco is divided into various rooms based on what games or slots are located there. The Atrium and the Salle Blanche both offer slot machines, and the Atrium charges no admission. Both rooms are open daily from 2 pm and stay open until the casino closes in the early hours of the morning. The Salon Europe, offering 30/40, European and English Roulette, and Punto Banco, and the Salle des Ameriques, offering Black Jack, Craps, and American roulette, both also open at 2 pm and they both require a 10 euro entrance fee. The Private Salons, which offer table games such as European Roulette, Chemin de Fer, Blackjack, and Punto Banco, are open Thursday through Sunday from 2 pm. The other games available in these private salons at the Grand Casino Monte Carlo are Banque a Deux Tableaux, open from 5 pm on, and 30/40, which opens at 10 pm. If you wish to participate in one of the private rooms' gambling, a 10 euro supplement is required on top of the 10 euro entrance fee. The Private Salons also have a stricter dress code; after 8 pm men are required to wear a jacket, and no military or religious uniforms are permitted.
In order to fit in with the regular patrons at this casino in Monte Carlo, be sure to visit the lobby of the Hotel de Paris. Gamblers first stop in this magnificent lobby to rub the left knee of the statue of Louis XIV's horse for good luck. While you are there, be sure to take a look around at the grand hotel. Completed one year after the Grand Casino Monaco opened, this posh hotel looms over the main square of the entrance to the casino. Built for wealthy guests and celebrities from around the world, this hotel boasts some of the best accommodation in Europe. If you have the budget, splurge on a room (which is much cheaper in the off-season), a day at the spa, or a gourmet dinner at Le Louis XV. If you're looking to spend less, you can opt for a drink at Cafe de Paris, a popular site for gamblers on their way to or from the gaming rooms. Here you can enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine while observing the casino-goers. The Grand Casino Monaco, by far the most grand and popular casino in Monte Carlo, is well worth a stop during any trip to the principality. If you don't feel like partaking in the games, visit the casino during the day to explore the lush gardens that surround the area and explore the inside of the Grand Casino Monte Carlo and Hotel de Paris without the glamorous crowds.

Formula 1®’s most glamorous race is coming up this weekend! Here’s our mini guide to looking the part in the “Millionaires’ Playground.”
Grandstand Attire
If you are going to be spending your day in the grandstands, functional attire is key. Monaco is a little more compact than other circuits but you’ll still need some comfortable shoes to get from A to B. Few grandstands at Monaco are covered, so a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen will make your time in the hot Riviera sun more comfortable. Finally, don’t forget to check the weather forecast and be prepared should rain be a possibility! Remember though, if you are planning to eat somewhere nice or go out for a few trackside drinks at night, you’ll need to be well dressed to gain entry.
Dress Like a Champion
Going to be spending time in our Champions Club at Ermanno Penthouse or La Maree Restaurant? Smart casual dress is the order of the day. In Monaco, that means a dress, skirt or pants for women and a shirt or polo shirt with jacket/blazer and trousers for men. Shorts are not recommended for men or women. In terms of footwear, men should wear closed, polished shoes and women can wear high heels, flat shoes or sandals. Leave your flip flops and trainers at home!
Trackside Yacht
Smart casual dress is also recommended for daytime viewing aboard Bacchus, our trackside yacht in Monaco, though women should remember that high heels are not permitted on board. Don’t forget to bring along a jacket for our Friday night Yacht Party, as the temperatures can fall quite rapidly once the sun goes down.
Evening Attire
Planning to hit the famous Monte Carlo Casino? After 8pm, men need to wear a jacket and tie to enter the casino. Been invited to an exclusive party? Formal invitations will state the required dress code, otherwise you should be fine in smart casual attire.
