Mardi Gras Casino
Hallandale
About
Open since the 1940s, this venue has gone through several renovations. Today, it is a 70,000-square-foot (6500-square-meter) palace with a hotel and several dining facilities offering everything from sports bars to fine dining. Reservations at the finest places are necessary. There are Vegas style shows and shows from Vegas as well. Poker, dog racing and slots provide a range of gambling choices. Entertainment is also a big draw with daily shows that could have assigned seating or standing room only. World class artists as well as performers of the golden oldies are presented regularly. This is one of the best places for entertainment in South Florida. -Mercedes de Marchena
