Mined! - Casino da Urca

The famous Casino da Urca in Rio de Janeiro, a resort off before without much success that had been built on the outskirts of the city. With the conversion of its dependencies in 1933, the resort became then the Cassino da Urca, popular and frequented by celebrities that do not require introduction. Among them destam to Walt Disney and Carmen Miranda. But in his stage star shone too national for this distinguished audience, people like the actor Grande Otelo and Patrick Tan. Carmen Miranda that showed every week between 1936 and 1940, was a prominent presence in the scene.

In his parlor games, roulette and card games rolled loose and the sound of good music, one of the times in which the radio and the golden years glamurizavam. In the casino still had its famous arcades on the seafront, were three meeting rooms overlooking Guanabara Bay, one of the scenarios that enchanted visitors from around the world. Although the casino had a VIP room, where punters weight could raise their bets to the maximum level that is allowed within the enclosure.

For players VIP treatment was something surreal, they had everything you can imagine in terms of service at that time. In addition to garaging at the door of the casino, had at his disposal a boat that would take them at any time by Casino IcaraĆ­ in Niteroi.
