In the previous installment, I talked about the Sights and Sounds of Monaco<\/a>. This article will primarily focus around the area around the Monte Carlo casino which is the most visited tourist area in Monaco. Monaco is easily one of the most expensive countries in the world and it\u2019s dubbed as the billionaire\u2019s playground.<\/p>\n

The Monte Carlo casino is most famously seen in the movie James Bond: Casino Royale. It\u2019s also home to one of the most famous landmarks and tourist attractions in Monaco.<\/p>\n

There has been a lot of conflict on the internet forums whether or not you have to dress up to the nines to get inside the Monte Carlo casino. Well, you don\u2019t need to be formally or semi-formally dressed. You don\u2019t even need to be in business casual clothing. I was dressed in a shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers and got into the casino during the night.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco3\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are other smaller casinos in Monaco such as the one by the Caf\u00e9 du Paris entrance and another one at the Sun Casino inside the Fairmont Monte Carlo hotel.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A step away from the Monte Carlo casino is the grand Le Metropole shopping center. There are luxurious shops and fine dining restaurants located inside. The prices are exorbitant and I was shocked to see that taking a photo at the photo booth cost 10 euros ~ \u00a0$13.65 USD.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco6\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you ever need a condom, there are endless Durex vending machines all over Monaco which I found a bit odd.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a large performing theatre in Monaco called the Grimaldi Forum which is housed in glass windows.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next to the Grimaldi Forum is the only Japanese Garden in Monaco.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco13\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things that locals love is the beaches. Beautiful beaches are lined all over the coastal Mediterranean Sea in Monaco.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco10\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco11\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier I said that Monaco is a billionaire\u2019s playground. Well, there is an endless amount of high end luxury sports car dealers in Monaco such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, and Ferrari.<\/p>\n

\"montecarlomonaco15\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco16\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco17\"<\/a> \"montecarlomonaco18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These high end sports cars are a dime a dozen in Monaco. I saw them everywhere and in a typical parking lot in Monaco, it could\u2019ve been mistaken for a car show.<\/p>\n
