    The Crown Casino is probably best known for gambling, but it's worth a visit even if you are not a gambler.
    There is plenty to see and do without entering the gaming area. There are lots of shops and food places throughout the complex.
    Don't miss the atrium area. While I was there last week the Floral Fantasy exhibition was on. Beautiful larger-than-life flowers and exotic birds made out of 150,000 fresh blooms.

    Crown's Entertainment Complex is the place to be. Shopping arcades, food courts and lots and lots of gambling. If you're just there for watching, wait until after 9 or 10 at night, during the day or early night it's still full of families, housewives or pensioners, nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't help the ambience. At night the real gambler come out...

    At night (after 8) they light the gas fires outside (see photo). A stroll along the waterfront during this time is highly recommended.

    Also note the city freeway going straight through the building(right side of photo).

    Melbourne's Crown Casino Entertainment Complex is not just for gamblers. There is plenty of fun to be had by all.

    Apart from the casino there are state-of-the-art movie theatres, cafes and nightclubs that make this such a lively place. There are also heaps of bars, restaurants and many specialty stores.

    Along the Yarra River promenade, there are eight huge columns that overflow with water by day and shoot fireballs at night....very spectacular to see.

    Then Crown Casino is the place for you. It is the largest casino in the southern hemisphere, and has endless rows of slot machines and gaming tables.

    Besides gambling, there are many other attractions at Crown Casino, including shopping, clubs, restaurants and bars, sports watching, a movie theatre, bowling alley & arcade, laser tag, and live shows. There is also a hotel here.

    One thing that I liked watching was the flame show outside the casino. There are towers that usually are fountains, but once in a while they shoot flames up into the air - sounds dumb but it looks cool.

    Consider what you wear before you go - they recommend neat casual.

    I was a food and beverage attendant in this Complex for about a year, so i believe that entitles me to say anything I like about this place. I hesitated to put it in as a recommendation, but it IS a tourist attraction, and there are brilliant restaurants there (try Breezes, Automatic Cafe, Cafe Greco, Margos, or the Conservatorium). I hate the principles (or lack thereof) behind Casinos, and I have seen so many people lose money here. I don't like the Casino itself, but the complex is great - with wonderful restaurants, clubs and shops. it's the best and biggest and most spectacular place to gamble in Melbourne, if that's what tickles your fancy. It is the fifth biggest Casino in the world. The laser and light show at the main entrance is certainly worth a look. The only place Under 18s cannot go is on the actual gaming floor.

    Go to the Crown Casino Complex at South Bank.
    It is a place to be seen for yourself. It is huge! Not only is there a massive casino, but heaps of shopping, restaurants, cafes, night clubs, cinemas and entertainment! The Paladium Ballroom hosts many events like the Logies, Brownlow Medal Count and wedding reception.
