The World's Most Luxurious Casino

Traveling various countries and cities within each region offers one an opportunity to partake of the finest life offers. The Casino de Monte Carlo is one of the finest entertainment complexes in the world. Step into elegant grandeur and a world unique to the affluent lifestyle that sets this casino apart from others.

(Emerging Magazine)

Even though slot players were once considered second class gamblers. The Cafe' de Paris would certainly change one's mind about what is to be a second class gambler in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Although now the design has been changed to a futuristic style, the decor still keeps one dazzled.

Before the design change, the sheer elegance and old world architecture of the room's interior would leave first-timers awe-struck. The Cafe' de Paris is where slot players spin the reels.

However, it is not proper etiquette to gawk, as one might in other casinos in the United States. Justifiably, admiring is strongly recommended, as you will not experience magnificence in all its beauty elsewhere when gambling.

My personal experience was a few years while entertaining an acquaintance and dear friend from Texas. The suggestion was to play roulette in the world renowned casino, owned and operated by the Société des bains de mer de Monaco, a public company in which the Monaco government and the ruling family have a majority interest.

After a day attending events held at the Cannes Film Festival, we entered the Casino de Monte Carlo. Mindful of proper etiquette, I and my friend were surrounded by majestic elegance, beginning the moment the valet took the keys.

My mind briefly conjured images I have seen in film and television. Monte Carlo and its casino were the locations for a number of James Bond movies, including Never Say Never Again and Golden Eye, as well as for the "Casino Royale" episode of the CBS' Climax! television show.

Admiring the architecture was easy for me to accomplish without standing out as a tourist or god forbid a gawker. The architecture of glamorous Belle Époque building of the Monte Carlo Casino was used by Ian Fleming to describe a casino in "Royale-Les-Eaux", a fictional resort featured in Fleming's first Bond novel, Casino Royale (1953).

While betting at the Roulette table, another gentleman across from us noticed the Texas accent from my illustrious companion. The gentleman approached us, immediately the conversation turned lively. Pats on the back and firm handshakes ordinarily would have been an indication of long-term friendship. However, this was not the case, they were simply two Texans whom seemed to share a fraternal friendship.

The gentleman was an industrialist from the Lone Star State and seemed to not mind sharing the wealth. The industrialist stepped over to his place at the table and presented my companion with $15,000 in chips, invited us for dinner and a tour of the region the following morning.

After cashing in large wins, we partook of dinner served at the Brasserie du Café de Paris : a legendary meeting-place. The Brasserie du Café de Paris is "THE" meeting-place on the legendary Place du Casino.  Menu selection is substantially varied. "Belle Epoque" decor and huge, lively terrace make it an essential port-of-call at all times of day.

Upon leaving the Casino de Monte Carlo, I was left with a longing to return. A place legendary and majestic, one of high-living and influence.

Facts:
  • In 1873, Joseph Jagger gained the casino great publicity by "breaking the bank at Monte Carlo" by discovering and capitalizing on a bias in one of the casino's roulette wheels.
  • The citizens of Monaco are forbidden to enter the gaming rooms of the casino. Identity documents are checked at the door to enforce this rule.
Up until season 7 (2010/2011) the casino hosted the annual European Poker Tour Grand Final.

The Monte Carlo methods, a class of random sampling algorithms, were named for the casino.

The route of the Monaco Grand Prix (the Circuit de Monaco) travels past the casino.

Aristotle Onassis had a controlling stake in the Monte Carlo Casino in the 1950s until he was forced out by Rainier III, Prince of Monaco.

The most famous example of the gambler’s fallacy occurred in a game of roulette at the Monte Carlo Casino in the summer of 1913, when the ball fell in black 26 times in a row. This was an extremely uncommon occurrence, although no more nor less common than any of the other 67,108,863 sequences of 26 red or black.

Gamblers lost millions of francs betting against black on the 27th spin, reasoning incorrectly that the streak was causing an "imbalance" in the randomness of the wheel, and that it had to be followed by a long streak of red.

About Lauren Elaine:

Designer Lauren-Elaine was born and raised in San Diego, CA. At a young age she discovered her passion for creativity when her mother enrolled her in sewing lessons. At the age of 13, she was scouted at a local mall and began modeling extensively. Throughout high school, Lauren pursued a career as a model, working for such clients as Teen/Seventeen Magazines, Chanel, and Nordstrom- to name a few. Through modeling, Lauren was exposed to the world of fashion and design, and with her combined sewing talents, she began to create her own clothing.

Following high school, Lauren attended the University of Texas, where she received a B.A. in Film Production, specializing in Art Direction. While in Austin, Lauren also began to dabble in acting-appearing as co-star “Becky” in Capitol recording artist Dierks Bentley’s music videos, and in such films as Fox Searchlight’s THE RINGER, and Miramax’s SIN CITY. Austin also provided the perfect environment to start a unique, personal fashion line. Lauren began designing and selling to private clients and friends online.

Following graduation from UT, Lauren returned to California to pursue acting, modeling, and fashion full-time. While film roles- including the lead in the upcoming feature film “Memphis Rising: Elvis Returns,” and modeling campaigns for designers like Moda Fina kept Lauren busy, the onset of the writer’s strike in Fall 2007 gave her the extra time needed to seriously pursue a career in Fashion Design.

The Lauren Elaine brand officially debuted during LA Fashion Week in March 2008. Since the launch, Designer Lauren Elaine has garnered much attention for her ultra-femme, effortlessly elegant evening gowns, cocktail dresses, and separates- with pieces making frequent appearances in magazines and editorial spreads, and garnering a small celebrity following on the red carpet. In October 2009, Lauren presented her couture Spring 2010 “Black Label” collection at LA Fashion Week, followed by the celebrity red carpet “Encore” event for LA Fashion Week in Hollywood.

In addition to the couture “Black Label,” Lauren introduced the casual, boho-chic "Laine by Lauren Elaine” lifestyle label with an emphasis on environmentally friendly production in August of 2009, and plans for a small accessories collection launch in January 2010. Drawing on her background in Art Direction, Lauren is heavily inspired by period films, all things vintage, and a fondness for fairytales. To date, the Lauren Elaine brand is carried exclusively in high-end boutiques throughout the US and sold online. www.LaurenElaineDesigns.com.
