Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

Synonymous with high-end Riviera luxury, the gorgeous building that houses the Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo has been a local fixture for 150 years. October 2014 saw the launch of a four-year renovation program that will elevate the already lavish property to even greater heights with a new garden courtyard, updated suites and a rooftop villa with private garden and pool. The hotel will remain open throughout the renovation period, with a limited capacity of 53 rooms and suites. The stunning façade overlooking Casino Square will remain untouched, as will historical spaces such as the lobby with its signature equestrian statue of Louis XIV (thought to bring luck to those who touch it), the American Bar, the Louis XV-Alain Ducasse restaurant, the Empire Room and the legendary 450,000-bottle wine cellar. When renovations are completed in 2018, the hotel will be home to a new spa, a modern fitness facility and a pool --- innovations that will continue to rank the property at the forefront of French luxury hotels. 

Ibiza Gran Hotel

This elegant, contemporary hotel infuses its designer look with an art collection gathered to complement the open-air architecture. Lots of white, muted metal and sandy beach tones make for a relaxing atmosphere in the guest rooms, suites, spa and public spaces. Dining focuses on regional and seaside specialties, while the casino brings a touch of class to Ibiza's notoriously wild nightlife scene.

Marina Bay Sands

Internationally respected architect Moshe Safdie designed this superlative resort, which features a casino, ArtScience Museum with 21 gallery spaces and Banyan Tree spa. High-end restaurants showcase some of the culinary world's top names: Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali and Daniel Boulud. From Broadway-caliber productions to large-scale art installations, this unique destination offers memorable attractions for all ages.

Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort

When envisioning Morocco, the first things that come to mind are the elegant riads of Marrakech and the rugged beauty of the Atlas Mountains. But the country has so much more to offer. Just an hour from Casablanca, this luxurious destination resembles an ancient fortress. It is suitably self-contained, featuring its own beach, a championship golf course designed by Gary Player and a spa with an ocean-view couples treatment suite and a mosaic-tiled hammam. Dining options range from French fare to classic Moroccan cuisine served in traditional Berber tents under the stars. When you're ready to try your luck, head to the house casino, adorned with stylish Arabian design accents, more than 450 slot machines and 46 tables offering games such as English roulette, blackjack and Baccarat. Private gaming rooms and a dress code ensure an elegant, exclusive experience. 

The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino

From the team behind The Venetian comes The Palazzo: a 50-story, all-suite property with European-influenced, plush guest quarters varying in size from 720 up to 3,000 square feet. Outfitted with every imaginable amenity, including sunken living room spaces, marble-appointed baths and remote controlled Roman curtains and shades, Palazzo's suites offer elegance and luxurious comfort. Just as decadent are Palazzo's dining choices, featuring restaurants from some of the world's greatest chefs: Table 10 by Emeril Lagasse, CUT by Wolfgang Puck and Carnevino by Mario Batali, to name a few. In addition, Italian cuisine in a hip dining room is paired with a chic nightclub at LAVO. The Grand Canal Shoppes connect this 3,066-room property to The Venetian, and the sisters share a reservation system and some facilities, including the Canyon Ranch SpaClub. To top it off, the Palazzo received the eco-friendly designation as the largest LEED-certified hotel in the world. Take advantage of The Prestige at Palazzo and enjoy the ultimate in VIP service.

Park Hyatt Mendoza

An elegant, 19th-century Spanish colonial façade welcomes guests at this luxurious property overlooking the lively Plaza de la Independencia. Although the city of Mendoza is known for its nearby vineyards and Andes ski resorts (just 90 minutes away), this hotel gives visitors good reason to stay in town. Inspired by the area's wineries, The Kaua Club & Spa features antioxidant treatments using products that incorporate ingredients from local grapes. Among the house dining venues, Grill Q serves traditional Argentine meats in a setting clad in warm wood with a view of the garden and pool. When not sipping local vintages, dining on sirloin empanadas or unwinding with a signature wine facial, guests can head for the tri-level Regency Casino. This upscale space lures glamorous gamblers from around the world with a variety of table games that include all the usual suspects, as well as punto y banca, a local variation of Baccarat.

 The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan

Situated on the Northern coast of Puerto Rico, this beachfront hotel offers more than just raw ocean beauty and multicolored sunsets. Surrounded by the vibrant San Juan capital, the energetic culture of this city can’t help but spill over into this colorful resort that offers a 12,000-square-foot Caribbean spa and 24-hour casino. There are five restaurants, including Laurent Tourondel’s famous BLT Steakhouse and Il Mulino New York. Hotels are adorned in classic Ritz-Carlton luxury with marble baths and top-quality linens, providing ocean, city, and garden views. Historic Old San Juan, the Art Museum of Puerto Rico, and the El Yunque Rainforest are just a few attractions to explore within reach. 

Sun City Resort

With Gary Player-designed golf greens, dining aplenty, a casino and the Valley of the Waves water park, Sun City caters to every member of the family. Four luxurious lodging choices include Palace of the Lost City, inspired by fantasies of ancient African palaces and featuring waterfalls, gardens and the Grand Pool. The resort enjoys access to two malaria-free wildlife reserves, Pilanesberg National Park and the Madikwe Game Reserve, where guests can embark on game drives in search of the Big Five. 

The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel

Modeled after its sister property in Las Vegas, The Venetian Macao is one of the many impressive casino hotels that have given Macau world-class status as a gambling mecca. What makes it stand out is its commitment to the maxim, "bigger is better." Its 3,000 suites each have a minimum of 750 square feet of space, and if you can drag yourself away from your lavish accommodation, set aside time — and lots of it — to explore the casino. The resort's gaming space measures 374,000 square feet with a selection of elite VIP rooms. Although you can easily spend 24/7 placing bets, we suggest venturing out for a gondola ride, high-end shopping spree or swim in the Venetian pools. Of note are the wellness hospital and spa, entertainment headliners from Asia and around the world, and exceptional fine dining choices with an emphasis on gourmet Chinese cuisine.
