Manila, The Philippines’ capital, is slowly turning into a Las Vegas strip as three of the biggest luxury integrated casino and resort establishments are now open in the city. Two more are slated to open in the next couple of years so don’t be surprised if it becomes the next gaming hub in Asia.

Resorts World Manila

Resorts World is the first Internationally-licensed luxury casino that opened in Manila. It has three hotels, and is situated just across the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

The Philippines has 3 of the biggest shopping centers in Asia so don’t be shocked to see a mall just beside Resorts World’s gaming area. The mall has four floors and houses some International apparel brands, as well as restaurants that serve Filipino, Chinese, Mediterranean, American, and Italian cuisines. Tourists in the Philippines who want to try some of the country’s most authentic Filipino dishes can head to Crisostomo and order Lechon (roast pork) or Kare Kare (beef in peanut sauce).

Resorts World’s gaming area is huge! It has two floors dedicated for slot machines and table games. The servers roaming the place are all very friendly, offering anyone sitting at the gaming area some beverage or food. If you’re tired from playing and want to chill somewhere nice, you can always visit one of the three bars. There’s the Bar 360 on the first floor that offers live music on its center stage, Frank’s Craft Beers, also on the first floor, that serves delicious liquor and hot dogs, and the second floor bar that offers expensive tea and wine.

Overall, Resorts World Manila is a nice experience. It has a very lively atmosphere, which is perfect for those who are looking for a crazy night out!

City of Dreams Manila

City of Dreams Manila is one, stylish resort and casino. The interiors are covered in black and gold, and the place smells amazing, probably because of the hundreds of fresh flowers surrounding the establishment.

City of Dreams has three hotels: Nobu, Crown, and Hyatt. There are service vehicles roaming the compound so guests can easily travel from their hotel room to the casino and vice versa.

Like Resorts World Manila, City of Dreams has two dedicated casino floors. One glance at the entire gaming area and you’ll immediately notice that it has a huge variety of slot games. Some of the slots even carry with them the commercial license of popular movies and TV series, which seem to be the trend not only with land-based casinos but online gaming providers as well. The casino has a huge poker room so fans of the world’s most popular card game will definitely appreciate this place.

Those who brought their kids to City of Dreams could go to DreamPlay, which is an amusement park designed by Dreamworks. It has themed areas inspired by popular Dreamworks animations such as Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, and Shrek.

City of Dreams is one of the most beautiful casinos in Manila and it’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re into six-star hotels and top-notch gaming facilities.

The casino experience in Manila is definitely unlike anywhere in the world. Filipinos truly love their malls and visiting a casino in the country is just like going to Megamall or Mall of Asia, only with slot machines and table games!
