Gilded Halls and Gorgeous Soufflés: A Guide to Living Large in Monaco | Vogue

"Portrayed as Monaco’s Bacchanalian heart, this grand casino can be a major tourist hub—at the wrong time it’s less men in tuxes, more men in cargo shorts—so avoid weekends and go on a weekday instead. Gambling isn’t required to enjoy it; the decor is stunning, including Paul Gervais’s “Florentine Graces.” If you do play, iconic rooms like the Salle Europe and Salle des Amériques are open to the public (as long as you make the table’s buy-in), while the Salon Super Privés are tucked away for certain guests and high rollers." - Elise Taylor
