Need information on the city, and if the casinos have dress codes and how do I find out about special events for the evening.

What sort of information, where to buy an icecream?

sdr, check the replies to your other post. They are more helpful and kind than the first reply you have received for this posting.

Hi sdr,
I was in Monte Carlo last February which is surely going to be different than new years eve. However, I can tell you that you need to at least wear a jacket in the big casino there but the others seemed to be more casual. I am not a gambler so I only can give you my opinion as such but I think unless you have major bucks you won't like the big casino--seemed a little boring even. Before I went I searched info on monte carlo but have since deleted all. I did find the monaco tourist site and emailed them regarding some questions. They responded quickly. You will have to do a search for that. Also there are other sites that you can get by searching. Monte Carlo has good food and beautiful architecture. The Palace Hotel has a restaurant on the top floor that has a ceiling that opens to the stars with good food. I think it is the grill. Then on the first floor is Alan Duchases (sp) world famous restaurant (which was closed when I was there.) There are many places to eat. The aquarium is wonderful even if that is not your "thing" as it has species I don't think would be seen elsewhere. If I come across any info I have not deleted I will repost. Have a great trip.

The casino is one of the most elegant in the world - The Salle Garnier is ledgendary for its shows. I am of course referring to the Casino de Monte Carlo.

The restaurant to which a previous posting refers is Alain Duacaisse.

Monaco is rather dull though, good food, good entertainment, but only for a couple of nights at the most. Why go there for New Year's Eve? It is dated, but then again perhaps suited to a certain type of American.

Thanks for the information, it was just what I was looking for. As for the timing it just happens to be the area that we are passing through at the time. Thanks again.
