Playgrounds of the rich and famous

Many resorts are magnets for the rich and famous. There have been many celebrity sightings at some of the top luxury casino resorts across the globe. For example, Barack Obama is a frequent visitor to Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, as are some of the Kardashians, and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay can often be seen in his flagship restaurant. Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson can often be spotted at the Hard Rock Park Hotel and Casino, and, in decades gone by, Marlene Dietrich was a frequent guest at the Kurkhaus of Baden Baden, a casino resort with a 200+ year history.
