Christmas at the Casino: Relax, Unwind and Enjoy
It might seem a little unconventional to some people, but have you ever thought of spending your Christmas at a casino? Now, we don’t mean dedicating your entire Christmas holiday to sitting at a slot machine or at the roulette wheel; we mean the casino experience as a whole. Here’s why you should consider spending this Christmas at your favourite casino complex.
Enjoy A Delicious Meal
So much of the enjoyment that we get from the festive season is derived from sharing delicious food around a beautifully decorated table with our nearest and dearest. A home-cooked Christmas feast is a wonderful thing, but what if you reclaimed all the time you spent in a hot kitchen and doing the dishes afterwards? All established casinos have restaurants of some description on their premises, but some have a selection that rivals the best hotels in the world.
Book your Christmas lunch at a casino restaurant and choose from a la carte options (you’ll need to double check this as they may only serve a set menu at Christmas) or buffet options that you didn’t have to cook yourself! Take it easy, enjoy the conversation, and avoid the hard work this year.
Book a Stay
Your favourite casino almost certainly has a luxurious hotel attached to it, so why not book a staycation? Sleep on the fluffiest pillows, wake up in an enormous bed, order room service, try out the pool and the fitness centre, and spend your holiday somewhere a little different than usual.
Booking a stay at the casino hotel may give you access to special events, services, or packages available to hotel guests only, which are especially fun and exciting at this time of year. Some casinos have ice rinks, shopping centres, and even theatres or nightclubs where you and your family or friends can pass the time. A Christmas staycation? What’s not to love?!
Play A Little
What is your game? Maybe you enjoy a few spins at the slot machines, or perhaps you prefer blackjack or roulette? You’ll have access to all your favourite casino games if you’re spending Christmas at a casino! Most casinos are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and every day of the year. You may want to check if table games (or any game that has a live dealer) are all open on Christmas day as some casinos in certain areas may run a smaller than normal staff on the day.
Naturally, children under the legal gambling age won’t be allowed onto the casino floor, so if you’re with your family, you may want to save the casino games for Boxing Day instead. If you’re enjoying a solo Christmas or traveling with a friend or partner you could have a wonderful time sipping coffee or maybe a delicious Christmas cocktail while enjoying the fun entertainment.
Enjoy the Vibe
Casinos are masters of decorating. Even during the off seasons, casinos are well decorated, and the lights that grace not only the casino floor but also the signs, trees, and restaurants are always beautiful. That said, nothing can match the Christmas spirit that casino decorations impart. Enormous red bows, fairy lights strung everywhere, Christmas trees decorated with glinting baubles. It’s a surefire way to get yourselves into the spirit of the season!
Things to Note
You’ll probably need to book casino accommodation for the holidays far in advance, particularly if you are planning to visit a casino that is in a popular holiday destination like New York or London. The same goes for booking a Christmas lunch or Christmas Eve dinner.
Check with the casino before you arrive to confirm what parts of the casino, if any, will be going dark for Christmas. Every casino has different policies, so checking ahead of time will help you manage your expectations for the trip.
