Burswood Casino, Perth

Located on the Swan River, the Burswood Casino is only five minutes from the heart of the city of Perth, Western Australia. The Burswood Casino complex houses a 24-hour casino, two international hotels, a nightclub, eight bars and seven restaurants, so you’ll never have to leave.

Burswood Casino provides a full line of electronic games, with over 1,500 coin-operated electronic gaming machines, many of which are linked to provide Jackpot winnings. However, the casino does not offer slot machines, as they are banned in Western Australia. But it does offer all of your favorite table games -  Blackjack, Roulette, Poker and more. If you’re a smoker, the VIP Pearl Room has a state-of-the-art ventilation system to provide a clean indoor smoking atmosphere.

Home to two world-class hotels, the InterContinental Burswood and the Holiday Inn Burswood, you can decide which style is right for you. The InterContinental offers large, well-appointed rooms with “breathtaking views of the Perth skyline,” while the 291-room Holiday Inn offers a quiet atmosphere with great customer service and a great price.

At Burswood, it’s hard not to find the taste for your palate. Yú, a restaurant with authentic Asian décor, offers patrons more than 400 fine wines and a range of tastes that span the globe. For an even larger variety at low prices, head over to the Emporium, a 450-seat dining hall that hosts six different establishments. Late-night dining is available, too. Joker’s Café, open 24-hours a day, is located close to the casino so you don’t have to leave the action behind.

For drinks, MINQ is open late, provides an elite atmosphere and is an exclusive locale for social gatherings. For a more sport-oriented tone, try the Carbon Sports Bar, which features a massive 36-foot wide screen for the ultimate experience of your favorite sport.

If you want to get off your feet for a while, be sure to check out the Escape Day Spa for pedicures, manicures and facials followed by a soothing massage. You can stay in shape at Burswood, too, since the complex offers a fully-equipped gym, indoor/outdoor pools, sauna, spa and steam room.

Once pampered, tune in for the height of entertainment at the Burswood Dome, a truly one-of-a-kind experience at a venue specially designed for entertainment and sporting events. If subdued is more your style, MINQ also hosts a chic and happening nightclub with free entertainment.

 Daytime attractions at Burswood are also plentiful. There’s the Burswood Park Public Golf Course adjacent to the casino complex and a little farther afield is the Perth Zoo and King’s Park. And of course, there’s always shopping available at the various malls and department stores in downtown Perth.
