In 1999, the Sporting Monte-Carlo was renovated in the most spectacular fashion. Restructured, decompartmentalised, futuristic yet remarkably refined, the astonishing infrastructure‹built in 1974 on the Larvotto Peninsula‹saw the end of its restricting obstacles and discovered new airy spaces, both attractive and complementary. In a luxurious yet convivial ambience, people come here to gamble, to enjoy an excellent meal, to relax in the Cuban Smoking Parlour, to dance until dawn in Jimmy'z night-club, or to applaud the stars of international showbiz in the Salle des Etoiles. The sea-view Salle des Palmiers is enjoying its second youth, proposing American and European games and private gaming rooms. As for the slot machines, they are accessible to everyone, and the summery ambience adds to the pleasure of playing.
