With global travel rebounding post-pandemic, casino enthusiasts are looking for destinations that provide the same thrill as Las Vegas—without the hefty price tag. According to Google Destination Insights, the demand for affordable gaming hotspots is on the rise, proving that luxury gaming experiences don’t have to come at a high cost.
"For many travelers, the idea of a casino vacation means high stakes and luxury, but that doesn’t have to mean expensive," explains Bryan Zarpentine, betting expert at Casino.com. "Many destinations now offer top-tier gaming experiences at a fraction of Vegas prices."
As inflation increases travel expenses, savvy tourists are searching for destinations where their money stretches further. Many budget-friendly locations provide five-star stays, gourmet dining, and VIP casino perks—ensuring an unforgettable experience without overspending.
Additionally, the rise of digital nomadism is influencing casino tourism, as travelers seek longer, cost-effective stays that combine work and leisure.
"Social media plays a key role in exposing travelers to budget-friendly casino hotspots," says Zarpentine. "By leveraging travel hacks, credit card rewards, and off-peak deals, smart travelers can enjoy a high-roller experience on a mid-range budget."
Zarpentine analyzed key cost factors such as hotel prices, dining expenses, and overall affordability to determine the best value gaming getaways. These three destinations emerged as standout choices:
Atmosphere: A vibrant city rich in culture, nightlife, and gaming.
Tourism Growth: Increasing international visitors, particularly from Asia and Europe.
Casino Highlights: Luxury casino resorts like Okada Manila and Solaire offer world-class gaming at a fraction of the price compared to Western destinations. Hotels and dining remain significantly more affordable.
Atmosphere: A picturesque city known for its historic architecture and famous thermal baths.
Tourism Growth: A well-loved European getaway offering affordable luxury.
Casino Highlights: The city’s Grand Casino and Las Vegas Casino provide a sophisticated gaming experience, while accommodations and dining remain far cheaper than in cities like London or Paris.
Atmosphere: A cosmopolitan city blending culture, adventure, and entertainment.
Tourism Growth: A growing international hub attracting both budget travelers and high-rollers.
Casino Highlights: Montecasino and Gold Reef City offer an exciting gaming experience, with hotel and dining costs averaging 30–50% lower than in major casino cities worldwide.
Here’s a breakdown of the total cost of staying in top casino cities, including hotel rates and three inexpensive meals per day:
Destination
Hotel Cost (€)
Inexpensive Meal (€)
Total Cost (Hotel + 3 Meals) (€)
Manila
20.00
4.81

Las Vegas

20.68
194.37
New York

As international destinations continue to invest in state-of-the-art gaming facilities, luxury casino experiences are no longer limited to Las Vegas or Macau.
"This boom in budget-friendly casino tourism is fueled by affordability, accessibility, and changing traveler expectations," says Zarpentine. "People want luxury, but they also want value—and today’s emerging casino hotspots are delivering both."
With casino operators in emerging markets prioritizing high-end experiences at lower costs, the industry is undergoing a significant transformation. The Vegas experience is no longer exclusive to the Strip. With careful planning, savvy travelers can now enjoy world-class casino experiences in unexpected locations—without the hefty price tag.

Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra passed away at his Mumbai residence on Monday, November 24, at the age of 89. His last rites were held at Pawan Hans Crematorium, where family, friends, and several Bollywood celebrities gathered to pay their final respects.
Known affectionately as Bollywood’s ‘He-Man’ and ‘Dharam Paaji,’ Dharmendra’s illustrious career spanned over six decades, leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema. His final on-screen appearance will be in the upcoming film Ikkis, scheduled for release on December 25.
Dharmendra began his film journey with Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere in 1960 and later became a household name with iconic films like Sholay, where he shared the screen with Amitabh Bachchan. The film not only achieved commercial and critical acclaim but also redefined Indian cinema and popularized the dacoit western genre.
Beyond acting, Dharmendra explored film production and politics, serving as a Member of Parliament from Bikaner between 2004 and 2009. His passing has been widely mourned, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other prominent figures expressing their condolences.
Dharmendra’s legacy continues to inspire generations of actors and cinema enthusiasts, celebrating a life dedicated to storytelling, charisma, and Indian cinematic history.
The Tourism Office of Spain (Turespaña) in Mumbai hosted a warm and inspiring evening titled “Women Travelers to Spain – A Passport to Yourself” on 21st November 2025 at IFBE, Ballard Estate. Designed as a celebration of women and the transformative nature of travel, the event brought together women professionals, creators, and travel enthusiasts to explore Spain through a personal and meaningful lens.
Guests began arriving from 7:00 pm, gathering in anticipation of an evening that aimed to go beyond itineraries and destinations. The event opened with a welcome address from Elena Orland, Director of the Tourism Office of Spain in India. She shared, “Beyond the best-known destinations, Spain is a wonderful country that truly welcomes women travellers to enjoy unique and authentic experiences that will make your travel to Spain and to yourself, memorable.” Her words set the tone for the evening, framing Spain as a place where women feel safe, inspired, and free to discover both the country and themselves.
The event featured a lively panel moderated by renowned blogger and influencer Roxanne Bamboat. The panellists included Isha Bhansali, Fashion Stylist and Consultant; Xenia Lam, Hotelier, freelance journalist and General Manager at Hyatt Centric Juhu Mumbai; and Reshma Mehta, Entrepreneur. Each shared their first impressions of Spain, describing its colour, vibrancy, and youthful energy. They spoke about how the country consistently meets and often exceeds expectations with its coastal beauty, cultural richness, and welcoming atmosphere.
A key highlight of the discussion was Spain’s safety and comfort for solo women travellers. The panelists noted that Spanish society is warm, non-judgmental, and extremely hospitable. Even without knowing Spanish, travellers can navigate the country easily thanks to friendly locals and well-organised cities. They also pointed out several cultural similarities between India and Spain, especially around family values, food, festivals, and community dining, making Indian travellers feel instantly connected.
The panel concluded around 9:00 pm, followed by a relaxed networking dinner featuring Spanish food and wine. Instead of a formal Q&A session, guests enjoyed one-on-one conversations with the panellists and continued discussing travel, culture, and personal stories in a more casual setting. The evening wrapped up by 10:30 pm, leaving guests with a renewed sense of inspiration and connection.
“Women Travelers to Spain: A Passport to Yourself” stood out for its heartfelt celebration of Spain as a destination that embraces women travellers in many meaningful ways. The evening beautifully highlighted how travel can be a bridge to discovering yourself, and how Spain continues to offer women the space to explore with confidence, curiosity, and joy.
