We visited Monaco and its famous casino one night on our trip to France. I've never seen so many fancy cars and so much money in one place. I'm just wondering if these people come down to the casino to show off their cars and themselves every night or is it mainly on weekends?
Nice cars outside the casino at all times?

They're not showing anything off - just going about their normal business.
Monaco is extremely wealthy - as are many of the tourists (look at the gigantic yachts in the harbor). What else do you expect to see?
Those fancy cars probably belong to the casino owners.
My curiosity is peaked now as I'll be in Nice next week and was not planning on visiting Monaco, but guess I may have to go now to see what the fuss is all about. Not that I haven't seen fancy cars, big yachts especially after visiting St. Barts in the French West Indies.
