you can get a day card like $12 for the 'normal' rooms and another $13 if you go into the 'salles prive'. But as I was there 3 days, I took a weekly card which gives you acces to again depending on which one you get acces to the different rooms. Some players have a 'Gold Card', good parking, free entry to Sporting Club in the summer and lot more freebies. But me playing the 20FF roulette (the minimum) which is still like $2.5 will not get me a 'Gold Card' . That is why I like to play 25ct roulette in Vacation Village or 50ct Downtown Vegas...
But in Monte Carlo, you have the history and feeling of the old days... but unfortunatly you have to have a lot of money to play there.
Now I heard, when I spoke to Americans going to that Thanksgiving diner , that the USA is not letting American residents move to Monaco. Off course we all know why they do that. Not that it would benefit you or me, but some CEO's with big payoffs are a lot better of there than in the US.
The law is not active yet, but 'they' are working on it. When you see the people arriving for their Thanksgiving diner, they where not driving a Chevrolet Malibu, if you get my drift...
