Located in the central business district of Brisbane – the state capital of Queensland – the Conrad Treasury Casino is housed in the historic Treasury with the Conrad Hotel occupying the former Land Administration Buildings, making the complex a central feature of the city and an easy distance from the city’s attractions.
Offering more than 60 table games to choose from, you can, as the casino puts so well, “embrace your inner 007.” All of the usual suspects are here: Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Sic Bo and of course, Poker. Betting ranges vary from table to table and are clearly designated by signage. The Conrad also offers more than 1300 electronic games, from slots to video Poker. VIP members can find more fun – and higher bets – at the Gold Suite.
The Conrad Hotel is a five-star, 130 room venue located in the Lands Administration Building, and offers well-appointed rooms. Each room is individually furnished so you’re assured of a unique stay. Rooms – Twin, King, Parlour and Premier Parlour – include views of the city, park and Brisbane River.
What the Conrad lacks in number of dining options, it makes up for in quality. Visit the Marco Polo, a classy five-star restaurant featuring modern Australian cuisine and a fine selection of wine. If you’re more interested in budget eating, hit the Blackjacks all-you-can-eat buffet for meals or the 2GO Snack Bar for a quick bite to eat close to the casino floor.
When you’ve gotten your fill from the restaurant of your choice, hit the bars; there are five to choose from. Premier’s Bar features a balcony over the Brisbane River while LiveWire, as its name implies, provides a more high-energy atmosphere with free entertainment. You can also catch the game of your choice, close to the casino floor, at the Sports Bar.
Don’t neglect your health and fitness while in Brisbane; the Conrad has a full spa, fitness center, golf, tennis and swimming pool. As the Conrad staff says: “Nothing else matters but you.”
Finish your workout just in time to see the sunset, after which the casino comes to life in brilliant and glittering neon lighting. Take in the sight and move inside for one of the many concerts, theatrical shows and comedy performances that the Conrad offers year-round to visitors in the Treasury building.
In the morning, feel free to explore the city. Brisbane is home to Australia’s largest inner-city botanical gardens, full of historic walkways and bike trails as well as department stores and specialty shops. There is also the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium and the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for science and nature lovers.
To get to the Conrad Treasury Casino, fly into Brisbane International Airport and catch a ride to 21 Queen Street, Brisbane, QLD (Queensland) 4000, Australia.
