Are you looking to go on a gambling vacation? When most people think of gambling vacations, they automatically think of Las Vegas. And, while Las Vegas undoubtedly has some of the best gambling in the world, it definitely has its drawbacks. With large crowds, rising expenses, extremely hot weather, and crazy partygoers, Vegas definitely isn’t for everyone.

But, if not Vegas, where?

There are plenty of amazing gambling destinations around the world.

Check out this guide to learn about 4 unexpected ultimate gambling destinations.

1. The Caribbean

Don’t let all those images of turquoise water and white sandy beaches fool you- the Caribbean is more than just a tropical paradise.

Outside of Las Vegas, it’s one of the best gambling destinations in the world. The signature spot to gamble in the Caribbean is undoubtedly the Atlantis in the Bahamas.

This is a 100,000 square foot casino that contains 1,000 slot machines and close to 3,000 guest rooms.

If the Bahamas isn’t for you, we also suggest taking your gambling skills to the Dutch/French island of St.Martin. Or, if you’re looking to go a little more off the beaten path, St. Kitts is another great option.

2. Macau, China

When people think of China, gambling usually isn’t the first word that comes to mind. However, Macau, China has slowly taken over Las Vegas as the gambling capital of the world.

In fact, this is the only area in China where gambling is legal.

Macau is actually home to the largest casino in the world, the Venetian. This is a 376,000 square foot building that has close to 2000 slot machines and 640 gambling tables.

Much like Vegas, Macau also offers a lot to do for those who aren’t keen on gambling. They have world-class dining and shopping, as well as plenty of nightly entertainment options.

3. Reno, Nevada

Reno often gets overshadowed by its big brother, Las Vegas. However, Reno is still one of the best gambling destinations in the world.

Located in Northern Nevada, Reno is infamously known as “the biggest little city in the world”.

In addition to world-class casinos that rival the ones in Las Vegas, Reno has something pretty great to offer that Las Vegas doesn’t- Lake Tahoe.

This crystal blue, pristine lake is just a stone’s throw away from Reno. We suggest that after an exciting couple days of gambling, you head to Lake Tahoe to unwind and get some sun.

4. Singapore

Singapore is relatively new to the international gambling scene, but it’s quickly making a name for itself.

While sportsbooks aren’t really a thing here due to strict gambling laws, Singapore makes up for it with its super luxurious casino resorts (Plus, you can still get your sports betting in at Unibet). One of the top resorts we recommend is Marina Bay Sands, which has over 350 game tables.

While you’re there, you should also take a visit to their theme parks, night clubs, and of course, take a dip in the infinity pool.
