Casino Royale

NileGuide Expert tip:

Do not go to the casino windows downstairs for sports bets. The sports book is on the second floor.

Description:

• 
  James Bond aficionados will recognize the name of this casino from the book and action film of the same name, but this is not a European-style casino with men in tuxedos playing chemin de fer and bantering with femme fatales in smoke filled rooms, although you will find the odd roulette or poker table here. The crowd at the Royale in San Lucas favors shorts and t-shirts, and the real action is at the electronic gaming machines and the sports book upstairs. The locals love to play electronic poker, bingo, blackjack, or slots in the large ground floor area. The sports book is located on the second floor, and is hugely popular with American and Canadian tourists, who like to bet on the latest football, basketball, baseball, or hockey game; or get their money down on the latest horse race or prize fight. There is a bar and restaurant on-site, and the cocktail service is as thorough and prompt as you might expect on the Las Vegas strip. Root for you team while watching on one of the televisions upstairs at the sports book while the waiter brings you a martini. 007 would approve.
