The casinos in the South of France and the recently renovated ‘La Siesta’ in Antibes
When we think about ultra-glam, oozing with wealth and exquisiteness casino hotspots, Las Vegas immediately springs to mind, followed quickly by the French Riviera.
From Bay Casino in Monaco, which features 139 new-generation slot machines without tokens, to Casino Barriere Les Princes in Cannes, for decades, the likes of Monte Carlo, Cannes, Nice and St. Tropez have been the home of stylish, contemporary casinos.
These casinos in the South of France are renowned throughout the world for being a magnet for the world’s elite. In recent years several of the French Riviera casinos have been renovated by the French casino operator, JOA Group. JOA owns 20 casinos throughout France and is recognised for weaving modernity, friendliness and transparency into casinos to provide a more comfortable customer experience.
The latest casino to be transformed by the company is La Siesta on the beach at Antibes. Located not far from the stunning Marina Baie, La Siesta has always been a favourite haunt of the French Riviera set, with the rich and famous from around the globe flocking to this ultra-glam venue.
Although it has to be said that with a five million Euro renovation under its belt, La Siesta’s exquisiteness has moved up a gear. Making the most of its Mediterranean-facing position, the casino has been decked out with new slot machines and card tables on a terrace, so clients can play whilst watching the waves lap against sandy shores at Antibes. The new dynamic club includes a modern brasserie restaurant.
What is particularly refreshing about the newly renovated La Siesta is that despite its endless list of iconic clientele that includes the likes of the Beatles, Lino Ventura and David Guetta, its prices are relatively reasonable. For example, some of the dishes on the brasserie’s menu cost as little as 12 Euros meaning that visiting and dining in the exclusive spot with the Med all but lapping at your feet can be accomplished by more than just the richest members of society.
A renovated reception area welcomes events tailor made to a client’s requirements, such as fashion shows, weddings and product launches.
So it you are looking for a prestigious venue to hold an event, want to spend an evening testing your luck at Poker while looking out to the Med, or simply want to wine and dine in style, Antibes recently renovated La Siesta could be just the ticket.
