 In the Heart of Monaco by NiceLife
A heart bypass however will not bypass your wallet.- it will make a definitive shunt onto it and drain it of all available contents .
Unless you are certain you are experiencing a cardiac arrest and carrying unlimited international medical insurance, you are advised against seeking a casual diagnosis for chest pain in Monaco. Anyway, its probaby indigestion. Leave a Comment

 Boutique Hell by NiceLife
Like the casino, this hunting ground is strictly for high rollers. Suitable only for those whose main mission in life is spending yet more money. Leave a Comment

 Atrium Charles Garnier. A last
entrance for some. by NiceLife
Many adventurous young men from noble families across Europe were drawn by the notoriety and glamour of the gaming room. Few won fortunes, but many watched their fortunes drain away in just one evening, at the caprice of chance. Every remaining franc, including the fare home, would be staked on one last deperate hope of recovery. Hope dashed, everything was lost. Some returned to their hotel rooms and commited suicide, leaving notes of regret to their now impoverished families. Others jumped to their deaths from the Casino gardens, their bodies washed ashore days later. In its first fifteen years, an estimated three thousand players committed suicide following the loss of their considerable fortunes at these tables.
The memoirs of a Casino policier of the 1870's recount the fate of a young Polish aristocrat. After some hours, one last play - one spin of the wheel - spelt his complete ruin. In front of the other players he drew out a pistol, put it to his temple, and blew out his brains, his blood spattered on the exquisite carpet. Valets rushed to carry away his crumpled body and clean up. Within a half hour play re-formed around the same table, the croupier intoning his fateful invitation "Faites vos jeux", "Rien ne va plus"..
Nowadays the green baize is part of the entertainment industry - people bet only what they can afford to lose. Which they probably will, eventually. But you never know - luck may be with you? Leave a Comment

 Dresscode - you have been
warned by NiceLife
Personally I would go further. Ban all tourists wearing cheap sportswear and rucksacks, baseball cap backwards, or whose pants are falling down. Insist on all visiting men wearing dark suit and tie and women haut couture, with a minimum 5-inch heel pair of Jimmy Choos and sparklers. Those with a body mass index registering "gross" turned away at the borders. Monaco will then be truly only for the beautiful people (though mostly desserted) Leave a Comment

 dame with a frame by domenicococozza
but be prepared for hefty surcharges. My tip is to change up some money before entering
Monaco.
