Can You Sleep in a Casino?

It's never a good idea to doze off at a casino. As soon as security notices you with your eyes closed, you’ll be sent outside. However, many RVers and supporters of the van life swear by the camping experience in casino parking lots.

So, is it legal to spend the night in your RV or automobile in a casino parking lot? Although there are regulations against trespassing, there’s no national prohibition against sleeping in your automobile.

Therefore, if you wish to spend the night in a privately owned parking lot, you must obtain the owner's consent or the consent of the person they’ve chosen to maintain and safeguard their lot.

So where do you stay when the casino you’re at doesn’t allow sleeping in their parking lot? Their hotels, of course! Here are the world’s most beautiful casinos we recommend if you’re planning on staying the night – or think it may be possible.

Monte Carlo, Monaco's Place du Casino and Hotel de Paris

The Place du Casino is a casino that’s housed inside the opulent Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. It’s one of the most opulent casino sites and has been featured in several great movies, including James Bond's Casino Royale.

This hotel and casino is nothing short of opulent, covered from head to toe in marble, from the historic columns to the floor and slick table tops, crystal chandeliers and the enormous lobby. 

The casino, which conveniently has a variety of games and fine cocktail bars, is accessible from the hotel by way of an impressive marble staircase. Additionally, this hotel offers unique access to the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, the Monte-Carlo Country Club, Golf Club and a private beach, the Monte-Carlo Beach Club.

Rustenburg, South Africa's Sun City

The reputation of Sun City as a resort with it all is well-deserved. Sun, artificial beaches, beautiful waterfalls, a variety of pools and a lake inside the grounds of a huge safari-themed elephant statue park can be found right in the centre of Rustenburg. 

Two of the resort's golf courses are world-class, and there are also nightclubs, bars, restaurants and, of course, a casino. When it comes to game selection, this casino has so much to offer. 

The hotel also looks like a lavish jungle palace hidden among the lush vegetation South Africa is known for.

Macao's Venetian Hotel

The Venetian is only one of Macao's most elegant and fascinating casino locations, sometimes known as the Monte Carlo of the Orient. The Venetian, the sixth-biggest building in the world and the largest casino on Earth, has architecture from when Macao was a Portuguese province. 

If having 3,000 slots and 750 table games to pick from in a staggering 51,096 square metre gaming space isn't enough to get you to go, then what about it? 

The Venetian is one of the most well-known casinos in the world. It also has a wide selection of opulent all-suite guest rooms, several restaurants serving various foreign cuisines, a play area, private gardens, a swimming pool and various other recreational amenities.

The Final Say

While some casinos may welcome people sleeping in their cars, many of them don’t. Whether that’s for security reasons or because they have hotels you should rather use, it’s ultimately their decision, as the casino that owns the parking lot has the final say.
