The Star Sydney, Sydney
Few high-flying jet-setters pay a visit to Australia without spending some time in Sydney, and with its iconic landmarks, which include the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it’s easy to see why.
Enjoying a prime location in the heart of the city, The Star Sydney is an esteemed entertainment destination that caters expertly to the high-roller and, as well as offering lavish rooms and suites, an impressive array of award-winning restaurants and an opulent spa, boasts a rather spectacular casino that is fully equipped with a host of classic table games and slots.
The invitation-only Sovereign Room offers personalised service and exclusive access to a selection of private gaming rooms, ensuring an intimate setting away from the throng of the main gaming floor, and to date, is the largest space of its kind in the country. Spread across a spacious 5,000 square metres, it cost an eye-watering $250 million to bring to life this section of the casino alone, and from blackjack to baccarat, roulette to craps, it offers all the high-stakes gaming opportunities the high-roller could want.
Crown Towers Melbourne, Melbourne
Nestled along the picturesque Southbank of the Yarra River, Crown Towers Melbourne is a bucket list destination that few visitors to Australia would want to miss. And the opulent Crown Towers Resort is the obvious choice for the elite traveller, offering Michelin-starred restaurants, designer shopping and spectacular views of the city skyline from its plush rooms and suites.
The resort is also home to a dazzling array of exclusive gaming options, including private VIP salons and high-stakes tables, catering flawlessly to the most discerning of the world’s whales.
The Crown Perth, Perth
Perched on the banks of the Swan River, The Crown Perth has built a reputation as the go-to choice for casino enthusiasts with money to burn.

Although, with so much to see and do in Perth, it would almost be rude not to get out and about.
In the casino, exclusive gaming enclave The Pearl Room offers a private and intimate setting in the most lavish of surroundings where gamblers can enjoy high-stakes play, complemented by personalised service that is second to none.
