Nightlife:Few people, bar would-be millionaires looking to make their fortunes at the landmark casino, come to Monte Carlo for the nightlife. That is not to say that the city's nightlife is dull, but only slightly subdued compared to other parts of the nefarious Riviera.
Monte Carlo Casino itself, place du Casino, is a popular night time haunt - you don't need to be a millionaire to play the slot machines though there is a minimum spend. Livelier bars include the
Chip and Castle, 42 quai Jean Charles Rey,
Flashman's, 7 avenue Princesse Alice, and
McCarthy's, 7 rue du Portier, while
Black Diamond, 11 avenue Princesse Grace, and
Le Point Rouge, 11 rue du Portier, are a touch classier with a lounge ambience.
There are a sprinkling of nightclubs too. Choose from
The Living Room, 7 avenue des Speluges, the
Legend on the same street at number 3 and the rollicking
Star 'N' Bars, 6 quai Antoine 1er. A lively new arrival is
Moods, place du Casino, a bar and live music venue that has already attracted some big international names.
