The similarity of services found in both casino resorts and business class hotels
creates an overshadowing effect that blurs the differences between them. A
casino is defined by the availability of gambling facilities in a recreational facility.
Casino resorts may incorporate hotel facilities for their clientele. A hotel on the
other hand refers to a facility that provides lodging facilities whether on short term
or long term basis. The operation of casino resorts differs from conventional
hotels in the following ways.

A casino is a facility for certain types of gambling. Casinos are often built near or combined
with hotels, resorts, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships, and other tourist attractions. Some
casinos are also known for hosting live entertainment, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and
sports.

A casino hotel is an establishment consisting of a casino with temporary lodging provided in

an on-premises hotel. Customers receive the benefits of both gambling facilities and lodging. Since
the casino and hotel are located on the same premises, a gambler's necessities can be provided for
in one location.
The casino may offer common forms of gambling including slot machines, table games, and sports
betting. The hotel, nearby or directly connected to the casino, provides lodging and may include
other popular services such as food and beverages, valet parking, a swimming pool, health club, and
on-site entertainment.[1] Many casino hotels in popular destinations such as the Las Vegas
Strip and Atlantic City, New Jersey, operate as resort hotels with additional services such as upscale
lodgings, ballrooms, and large conference facilities.

A casino is a facility which houses and accommodates certain types of gambling activities, the industry
that deals in casinos is called the gaming industry.

Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise
ships or other tourist attractions, there is much debate over whether the social and economic
consequences of casino gambling outweigh the initial revenue that may be generated.

Some casinos are also known for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand-up comedy, concerts,
and sporting events, it include other public buildings where pleasurable activities took place; such
edifices were usually built on the grounds of a larger Italian villa or palazzo, and were used to host civic
town functions, including bancing, gambling, music listening, and sports: examples in italy include villa
farnese and villa giulia, and in the us the newport

Casino in newport, rhode island. Most jurisdictions worldwide have a minimum gambling age (16 to 21
years of age in most countries which pernit the operation of casinos), customers gamble by playing
games of chance, in some cases with an element of skill, such as craps, roulette, baccarat, blackjack, and
video poker

Gambling in Metro Manila has been regulated since 1976 when the Philippine Amusement and Gaming
Corporation (PAGCOR) was created through Presidential Decree 1067.[1] Under its charter promulgated
in 1983, the 100% state-owned PAGCOR, running under the direct supervision of the Office of the
President, serves three crucial roles: to regulate and operate all games of chance in the country,
particularly casino gaming; generate funds for the government's infrastructure and socio-civic projects;
and boost local tourism

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Landscape design should blend with the natural elements of the landscape, while also catering to the needs of
the resort guests. Plans that allow guests to connect with nature and the environment surrounding the resort.
Guests are looking for unique, authentic experiences, and using landscape design to provide this opportunity is
important.

Interior design is planning everything indoors, from creating the spaces where people relax to planning where
furniture is placed in a room. Whether integrating with Think’s in-house interior design studio or a separate
interior design firm, we are flexible in helping you arrive at the right solution to deliver your project.

Guests should feel a sense of community in their resort. Resort interior design should take into
account the flow of visitors and should plan for areas of celebration, conversation, interaction, and
acceptance. When resort guests establish a feeling of community in their resort environment, they’re
more likely to return year after year.

The casino needs to be designed in such a way that forces players to play impulsively. Instead of making the
snacks bar and bathrooms easily accessible, the casino architecture needs to be designed to put them in the
least likely and remote places. The reason to do this is that the players have to cross a bunch of games to get
there which increases their chances of engaging with the game.

The old school casino designs were made to distract and confuse players roaming around the casino. Although
the motive was purely intentional, modern casino architecture has proved that an open atmosphere invokes a
similar type of gambling experiences just like modern resort open architectures. If you are planning on making
the players forget about the measures of daytime and possibly creating a cave-like atmosphere, you should go
for windowless walls.

The new wave of casino architecture stresses more natural lighting that compliments well with soft white and
green colours. High ceilings are advisable to make the players feel at ease. These architectural designs play a
major role in the player’s psychology. High octane old school architectural designs have traditionally turned
women away from the casinos. With the new architectural changes, casinos can embrace both the genders
equally enhancing their efficiency in the long run.

INTRODUCTION

A casino is an indoor entertainment facility that plays host to various types of gambling activities.
Modern casinos include hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and other tourist attractions. Gambling
is illegal in many parts of the world, and casinos are concentrated only in certain regions. However,
with its growing popularity and revenue contribution in the form of tax, several countries are easing
regulations to support the growth of casinos.

A casino is a type of indoor entertainment venue that hosts a variety of gaming activities. Hotels,
restaurants, retail malls, and other tourist attractions are all part of modern casinos. Gambling is
prohibited in many parts of the world, and casinos are only found in a few areas. Several countries,
however, are loosening rules to facilitate the establishment of casinos, given their growing popularity
and financial contribution in the form of taxes.
Many states have approved commercial casino gambling primarily because they see it as a tool for
economic growth. The greatest perceived benefits are increased employment, greater tax revenue to
state and local governments, and growth in local retail sales. Increasing fiscal pressure on state budgets,
the fear of lost revenue to casinos in neighboring states and a more favorable public attitude regarding
casino gambling all have led to its acceptance, according to the National Gambling Impact Study
Commission's Final Report.
A hotel consists of two major components, the business operations and the physical property. These two
components although distinctively different, are very much interdependent and affect the hotel’s ability to
succeed. An understanding of this important duality is evident in the increasingly market driven nature of
hotel design. More diverse and innovative new hotel concepts are constantly being developed based on
the identification of gaps in hotel markets, or the creation of new market segments. However, the common
perception of the hotel property as being a static and permanent entity remains the same. Despite the
volatile and ever‐changing nature of hotel markets, short term demand fluctuations have always been one
of the biggest concerns and topics of discussion for hotel management and marketing.

Most larger-scale casinos are designed as complete entertainment experiences, with a broad array of
offerings in an attempt to capture both gaming and non-gaming dollars from visitors. Common
additional non-gaming uses include food buffets and snack bars, restaurants, bars and nightclubs, retail,
entertainment offerings, and, increasingly, spas. Shopping, food, and nightlife offerings are often
situated immediately adjacent to, or in many cases flow onto, the gaming floor. The integration of all of
these elements under one roof contributes to the escapist atmosphere that casino operators aim to
foster.

The effort to create a complete entertainment experience has typically led casino designers to produce
self-contained environments, where patrons can satisfy all their entertainment desires in one place. As a
result, casinos rarely have open connections to their surroundings and are designed in a manner that
encourages visitors to stay within the building. This often translates into relatively large buildings with
few windows or entrances and immediately adjacent parking that feeds visitors directly into the casino.
