Review - Editor's personal experience at the Nuovo Casino di Campione:
This is one of the largest casinos in Europe, a very nice and popular casino with gaming activity on three floors. The first floor has slots, video games and other electronic games including touchbet roulette. The second floor has what they call 'American games': all the table games commonly found in American and UK casinos such as American roulette (single zero - called 'fair roulette'), Blackjack, Craps, Punto Banco, and also a range of slots/video machines. The third floor has the 'French games', which include has French roulette tables and other French card games such as Trente et Quarante. There are two main restaurants: The 'Jackpot' restaurant on the 2nd floor and the 'Seven' restaurant on the 7th floor. The food is very good but pricey and the service is excellent. Getting there by taxi can be expensive.

Useful information on Italy
General: Italy occupies a long, boot-shaped peninsula, surrounded on the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the east by the Adriatic Sea. Italy shares its northern Alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. Italy is subdivided into 20 regions. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian Peninsula, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian enclave in Switzerland. Italy is a democratic republic and a founding member of what is now the European Union.
Currency: Italy joined the Euro from its introduction in 1999 and the Euro is the legal currency.

Public transportation: Transportation by train between the major cities in Italy is fairly efficient, but once you start to travel off-the-beaten track be prepared for delays and late arrivals. For long journeys always try to use the Eurostar. These are the premier trains upon which you can reserve seats and generally they keep good time. Quite often on minor routes, the only option is to travel by bus. Within towns and cities, buses are in many cases the most practical way of getting around. They also are the most economical with a selection of passes that can be bought depending on your length of stay. If you are planning to travel a long distance, a plane might be a good solution. To travel by road or train from Rome to Venice would take about 6 hours with good road traffic conditions. By plane it would take an hour and probably wouldn't cost you much more.
Taxis: Taxi cabs can be expensive throughout Italy but they are a convenient means of travel. Most taxi cabs are government-regulated and are coloured white or yellow. Visitors should avoid any taxi cabs which do not have a meter installed. These are non-regulated taxis, which will charge additional fees for everything from luggage to night service. It's usually best to hail a taxi from a taxi rank rather than phoning the service, as some taxis will begin charging you from the time of your call.
About San Remo: San Remo is very close to Monte Carlo of Monaco and Nice of France. In the nineteenth century San Remo became popular because of the climate. The first years of the new century saw the development of tourism due to the opening of the Casino, by the French architect Eugene Ferret. The Casino started as a Kursaal (public hall), it was better known for its theatrical performances, concerts, catering and meeting point for foreigners. The night of the 12th January 1905 the Casino of Sanremo opened for the first time to the public. It has been for many years (until 1976) the site for celebrating the Festival of the Italian song. The building has preserved the original structure in Liberty style that made it famous. It is characterized by traditional casino games.

Review - Editor's personal experience at the Grand Casino Locarno:
This is a small and nice casino but not busy. The management and casino personnel are friendly and helpful. There is a casino bar in the gaming hall and a bistro just outside the casino entrance, next to the reception desk, serving good food at very resonable prices and the service is excellent. There is one main gaming area with slots, roulette and card games, and a separate small smoking gaming room with slots only.
Rating:Good casino!
