CASINO LISBOA
Lisbon's Casino
The younger sibling of Europe's largest casino in nearby Estoril
opened its doors in 2006 with a slightly different concept -- an
entertainment venue with gaming on the side as opposed to the other way around.
Estoril Casino maintains a classic and slightly more glamorous atmosphere, while Lisbon's casino bets on the younger generation
with a minimalist architecture and a more contemporary ambience.
There are first-class shows
every day (often major international productions such as crowd-pleaser "Stomp" that was among those presented in the
first year) at the over-600-seat Oceans Auditorium
as well as a variety of performances at the rotating central
bar, Arena Lounge.
In total there are four stylishly-designed bars, three restaurants (including the high-end Suite), close to 1000 slot
machines, and 22 gaming tables (from the classic American Roulette to Blackjack, Baccarat, and Poker), all distributed across three floors.
Doors are open every day from 3PM to 3AM, and from 4PM to 4AM on Fridays, Saturdays, and on the eve of a national holiday.
Ride Lisbon's metro, buses, and trams for FREE with the Lisboa Card.
