Between glamour, gaming and culture: the Sanremo Casino at the heart of the festive season

Less than an hour from the French Riviera, Sanremo stands out as the perfect getaway to celebrate the end of the year in a different way. At the centre of this festive atmosphere, the Sanremo Casino emerges as a truly unique venue, where luxury, entertainment and conviviality come together in a spectacular setting. Gaming, exceptional events, music and culture: here are five compelling reasons to choose the Sanremo Casino to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year.

Immerse yourself in a glamorous festive atmosphere

In December, Sanremo takes on a different rhythm. During this time of year, the city reveals a distinctive elegance, fuelled by the festive buzz and a lifestyle devoted to pleasure. Streets are dressed in lights, façades glow, and the desire to celebrate can be felt everywhere. A true symbol of the Italian Riviera, the Sanremo Casino perfectly embodies this festive energy.

From the moment you step inside, the scenographic impact is immediate: red and gold tones dominate, the impressive Art Nouveau architecture captivates, and Italian elegance shines through every detail.

Whether visiting for a night of gaming with friends, a romantic escape, or simply a short break of one or two nights, the Sanremo Casino offers a refined setting, ideal for stepping away from routine and celebrating. A place where time slows down, combining a chic yet welcoming atmosphere.

Try your luck with record-breaking jackpots

The festive season is synonymous with surprises, and at the Sanremo Casino this promise extends to the gaming tables and slot machines. The Hold’em Jackpot now exceeds €50,000, a reminder that at this time of year, anything seems possible. The figures speak for themselves: over €12 million redistributed in just eleven months, including a Voodoo super win of €50,135.

Inside the gaming rooms, the atmosphere is truly unique — a soft yet palpable excitement punctuated by the sounds of machines and players’ reactions. People play for the pleasure, the thrill, that shared moment when jackpots hit and the entire room vibrates as one. Sometimes, all it takes is a single button press for a getaway to the Sanremo Casino to take an unexpected turn.

Extend the excitement with the World Series of Poker

Poker enthusiasts will also find a major seasonal highlight at the Sanremo Casino: the Texas Poker Series, held during the festive period. These tournaments offer variable buy-ins and accessible formats, within an atmosphere that is both competitive and friendly.

With nearly 10,000 participants welcomed during previous World Series of Poker events, the Sanremo Casino has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s leading poker destinations.

Starting from December 23, experienced players will have the opportunity to face opponents from across Europe, while amateurs can experience the energy of major poker tournaments from the inside. The Casino becomes a true theatre of emotions, where controlled tension blends with strategy, daring and focus.

Enjoy prestigious events for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve

To celebrate the arrival of the New Year, Sanremo goes all out. The December 31st evening at the Casino is among the most sought-after events on the Riviera. Gala dinners, live music, an elegant dress code and a festive yet intimate atmosphere are all designed to create a memorable experience leading up to the final countdown.

This chic yet warm way of celebrating New Year’s Eve stands out, in a setting where the art of hospitality is a true signature. For residents of the French Riviera, it is also an ideal destination to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Italy. The January 1st concert by the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra promises to extend the magic with a prestigious opening performance.

Treat yourself to a cultural and musical start to the year

This is also part of Sanremo’s appeal: a city with a rich cultural life. The Casino plays an active role by offering high-profile artistic events at the start of the year. On January 1st, the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra will perform a highly anticipated opening concert — a refined way to begin the year with music and elegance.

In January, the theatre season continues with renowned Italian artists such as Bocci, Belvedere and Morelli, extending the festive spirit and reminding visitors that, at the Sanremo Casino, the experience goes far beyond gaming.
