A casino (also known as a gambling house or a casin) is an establishment that offers various forms of legal gambling. In addition to traditional table games like poker and blackjack, some casinos offer a range of other wagering activities, such as sports betting or off-track horse betting. A casino is usually located in a resort or hotel, and many offer dining, shopping, and other entertainment options.

The modern casino is all about thinking big: larger buffets, bigger hotels, and those star names. As such, a number of these mega-resorts have become the biggest in their region or even the world.

Here are a few that stand out:

Dominating the Singapore skyline, this massive complex is home to a wide range of gaming tables and machines. But it also hosts a variety of top-billed entertainment acts, from high-flying circus performers to the latest musician concerts topping the Billboard charts. And if you get tired of all that gambling, the hotel part of the casino features a swanky spa to relax in.
