If you feel like gambling in Venice, there are two great options for you in town.
1. Ca’ Vendramin Calergi: Located in the Cannaregio sestiere it’s Venice’s historic casino. A majestic palace built between the 15th and the 16th century that faces the Grand Canal and it is remembered as the place where composer Richard Wagner died. Today, the palace is home to the Venice Casino and the Wagner Museum. Once the residence of the doges, it quickly established itself as the sophisticated theatre of the most classic games and the beating heart of the city’s gambling scene. Roulette games, traditional card games, and spectacular slot machines make of this place a perfect spot where to spend a thrilling night. Italian gourmet delicatessen and fish specialties are a must in the Casino’s restaurant dedicated to the great composer that used to live here. Wagner Restaurant offers the exclusive pleasure of refined dining with 150 places in rooms splendidly decorated by Palma il Giovane and Gian Battista Crosato. A new Grill Bar has opened in the Lounge Bar area on the second floor.
