    Hi,

    Im off to Monte Carlo Sunday. Im hoping to get some poker in there :D

    Just wondering if anyone who may have visited it can give any advice about where to play, dress codes etc. I was in Vegas earlier this year and am expecting a totally different ball game, Would this be reasonable to expect ?

    Thanks in advance...
    'Ceptor.

    No idea, but unless I am very wrong, any poker that you may get to play there will be high stakes (well by irish casino standards anyhow) probably 5-10 minimum.

    I would also assume that since everyone has money coming out all their orifices that dress code would be 'rich'.

    From v limited experience, I would sum up the difference between Vegas and Monte Carlo thus: Vegas is entertainment, Monte Carlo is business.

    In the Monte Carlo Casino (THE casino), minimum bets at BlackJack are €25, so I don't know if that gives you a guide. If you want to go into the Salons Privés within the casino, you're into jacket and tie land, and god knows what the stakes are.

    There are other places to go - there was a casino-type place just across the road from the main one where stakes seemed a little lower, or you could go to somewhere like Beaulieu-Sur-Mer along the coast, where things were a lot more down to earth.

    Sorry I don't have specific poker info, but it's a couple of years ago, and I wasn't playing at the time. :(
