Crown Entertainment Complex

A night out in Melbourne often begins or ends at Crown. Frankly, it's the city's hottest entertainment spot, boasting more than a dozen nightclubs and bars and Melbourne's gaming heartland. From Flinders St Station in the city, Crown Casino is a 15-minute stroll across the Princes Bridge, heading west along Southbank.

Make your entrance via the spectacular front Atrium - a five-storey special effects foyer, resplendent with water, light and sound shows and a stunning black marble staircase that leads to Crown’s lavish restaurants. Like Koko, authentic teppanyaki in the tranquil surrounds of a Japanese water garden. Or Conservatory - with its soaring ceilings and city views - serving sumptuous buffets of Eastern and Western cuisine. And Silks, the opulent Chinese mansion of Cantonese delicacies, with five private dining rooms. For a flutter, try your hand at poker, black jack, roulette and the traditional Australian game of 'two up' across a colourful gaming floor that stretches half a kilometre.

Serious punters can make their way to The Mahogany Room - a luxurious VIP setting for big spenders, with multi-lingual hosts, and 24 hour food and bar service. Win big and you’ll want to swing from those dazzling crystal chandeliers.

You can also give your wardrobe a trip to remember at Crown, simply by letting the plastic run wild at luxury brands like La Perla, Louis Vuitton and Prada. The big names in fashion are housed in the designer retail quarters of Crown. If you fancy time to shop without the family in tow, the indoor theme park of Galactic Circus can keep children amused with its array of high tech simulators and traditional circus games.
