Most of the medina is navigable only on foot, and you may opt to engage one of the official city guides to steer you through the maze. Most of the medina's monuments charge an entry fee of 10 DH to 50 DH and have permanent but unsalaried on-site guides; if you use one, tip him about 30 DH to 50 DH.
Apart from La Mamounia, the only casino of note in Marrakesh is the one in the gardens of the Es Saadi hotel, set apart from the main building. Established in 1952, it was the city's first casino, though it's been renovated since then, and has a mixture of one-armed bandits and tables for roulette and blackjack. There are also poker games and tournaments that go until the early hours of the morning.
The casino at La Mamounia has a large room for roulette, poker, and blackjack; a slot-machine hall; and is open until 6 am, but you'll need to dress up to gain entrance to this exclusive establishment.
