- dianeMauritius1 contributionExcellent!We have turned them into casinos around the world and frankly South Africa has the best! The atmosphere is great, we eat very well, whether inside the casino or in the restaurants around. Those who don’t like it are really VERY complicated! We also went with the children, there is enough for everyone! I highly recommend!Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 July 2024
- Mobile001715931951 contributionBeautiful experienceThanks for the awesome we received from Constance, Khensani, Maria and team. We had our mother's 70th birthday celebration. From arrival until we left we were treated with warmth and engagement. We had large booking and everyone enjoyed the day. Besides the praws not being available there was a big variety to choose from. Huge thank you ladies from Mary and familyVisited November 2024Travelled with familyWritten 25 November 2024
- Lionel T6 contributionsGreat, to do againThe place is magical. The false sky tricks the eye just excellent. The fake Italian streets are superb. Whether you are a player or not, I recommend this place to visit. Only downside, everything closes very early.Visited December 2024Travelled with familyWritten 18 December 2024

What a cool place! This indoor casino has shops and restaurants surrounding the casino which is located in the center. If it's your first time with the casino and you're wanting to gamble, don't forget to bring your driver's license (if you are a South African). If you are a foreigner/guest in South Africa, you must bring your physical passport - photo copies will not be accepted. There is no ID requirement upon entering the premises however. The variety of restaurants is vast from American BBQ to Chinese to Mexican to Indian, you name it! Highly recommend this place!

Montecasino, a wonderful city within a city. Though this is basically a casino it boasts of a huge number of restaurants. The food in all the restaurants is top quality. The shops have some good items but are rather highly priced. A must visit if this is your first time to Johannesburg. There is a good arcade for the little ones to spend their time … including a child sitting service. And if you have time to kill, visit the cinema.

Wonderful theaters with shows that never disappoint. We then also ate at Hazzar Grill. Even though they lost our booking on the system, they managed to get us a nice table for 8 and delivered great service. Food and drinks came quickly, so we could be on time for the show.

If you thinking about booking at the Palazzo during the COVID restictions don't waste your money! Currently booked in. There is extremely limited staff making the experience quite unpleasant and unfair to be charged at the full rate. Check-in was slow despite being the only ones. The poolside service was terrible or non-existent despite the very limited number of guests. We had to go to the hotel restaurant and place our own drinks and foid order as nobody came to assist at the pool area. Were informed that the usual buffet breakfast would not be served and instead we would be offered a ala carte menu.

Casino is nice enough, and there are several choices of restaurants. Poker room (been there 3-4x) isn’t bad but the overall vibe of the place is just dead. No energy at all, making it rather boring. Dealers had no personality. What I especially don’t like about my recent visit was that they were happy to take my money and give me chips, but when it came time to cash out, they wanted my passport number, DOB, etc etc, or they wouldn’t pay out. I didn’t have my passport with me at a casino. I was able to make a call and get it, but I found that irritating. Had I not been able to get the number, it would have been my loss, and the cashier made sure I knew that I was inconveniencing her! Probably won’t be going back.

Montecasino was an exciting and fun location for people of all ages no matter what you where looking to do. Gambling, movies, arcade, bowling, The Hive gaming and so much more. It was a place that attracted families, friends, couples and gamblers alike to this exciting and different location with a unique atmospheric style that intrigued most. Over the years this amazing location has slowly gone down hill. Closing some of its top stores for various reasons, namely places like The Hive and more recently Skoobs, their book store. It’s sad to see such a unique location decline like it has but hopefully we will see a revamp in the coming years as things start to stabilise once again. Still a fun day out but there are still better things to do in the area.

Verdicchio Resturant gave me the worst service ever. I ordered a medium steak got my steak well done. My family ate without me as i had also lost my appetite. I was very disapointed with the overall experience .

If you're in the mood for some fine dining, then Montecasino has loads to offer. Why not take in a live show at the same time? It has a relaxing family ambiance and boasts a fabulous outdoor bird park for leisurely walks in the sun. There are also movie houses and fast food eateries to tempt any palette. An easy two to three hours to keep young and old entertained.

My Wife and I went to the Palazzo for our Minimoon, and the only way to explain the experience is, WOW WOW WOW! The service is great, the staff is amazingly friendly, polite, and super helpful. Rooms are clean, and the smell when you walk in is just amazing. You feel like you're entering a deep Mediterranean rain forest. I would highly recommend going here, even if it is just for a weekend!
