Carnival City Casino

By day you’ll see a colourful big-top circus tent, while at night Carnival City is a fantasy world of glittering lights. Especially for the gamer at heart, there’s a mecca of fun under one roof. If you want to lean a new game, then stop off at the Party Pit tables on a Friday or Saturday night where staff is on hand to offer training and share handy hints. If you’re not ready to go all in, you can start off playing R2 on roulette, R10 and R50 on blackjack, and R10 on poker. To keep the younger ones entertained, there’s a children’s area that includes an arcade, tenpin bowling and more. Whether you’re in the mood for Italian or Chinese, when hunger hits there are six restaurants, each with a different style of global cuisine. Or, for those on the run, try one of the seven fast-food outlets.

While you’re in the area…
Love the look and feel of money? Then you should definitely visit the Absa Money Museum in downtown Joburg. As the only banking and money museum in the country, it houses a historical collection of money dating back to cowrie shells and venetian glass beads. Looking for somewhere to spend your money? Try the Bruma Lake Flea Market, which is one of the biggest in SA. You’ll find anything from wire art, homemade toys, curios and furniture to antiques and designer clothing there.
