Our service: plan a hotel-casino stay in Australia
What you will find on each hotel card, how to use the guide before you book, and what we deliberately leave to the hotels.
Our service
The guide helps you shortlist a verified hotel-casino in a few minutes and then book it wherever you prefer. It is free to use and needs no account.
Pick a city or state
Eight hotels across Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Compare the cards
Address, editors’ score, rooms, pools and restaurants, plus who runs the casino.
Book or call directly
Go to Booking.com, the hotel website or the hotel’s own phone line. We never sit in between.
What is on every hotel card
- Name and exact address as the hotel publishes it, so you can put it straight into a map app.
- Photo of the real building, with the photographer and licence credited.
- Editors’ score out of 10 with stars, worked out with the method on our About Us page.
- Short description covering the setting, what is within walking distance and anything you should know first, such as renovations.
- Key facts: room count where published, pools and spa, named restaurants, parking or transport.
- Casino line: the casino’s name, licence holder and the regulator that supervises it.
- Three buttons: book on Booking.com, call the hotel, or visit the hotel’s own website.
How to use the guide in five minutes
- Decide on the climate you want. In November to April the tropical north (Cairns, Townsville, Darwin) is hot and humid with the wet season, while Hobart and Launceston are mild. From May to October the north is dry and sunny.
- Open the hotel cards for that region and compare the scores and facilities.
- Check Hot Offers: three hotels currently publish a book-early discount if you reserve at least 30 days ahead.
- Compare the price for your dates on Booking.com and on the hotel’s website. Direct rates and conditions are sometimes different.
- Call the hotel if you need something specific, such as an accessible room, a cot or late check-in.

What we don’t do
We don’t take bookings, deposits or card details. We don’t offer, promote or link to online gambling, and the guide has no casino bonuses, odds or games. We don’t publish invented guest reviews. If a detail on a card is wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
Why choose us
Four rules we keep for every hotel in the guide.
Verified locations
Only real hotels with a licensed land-based casino in the same building or resort, with the licence holder and regulator named on the card.
Honest scores
The score out of 10 is our own editorial judgement of location, rooms, dining and facilities. We don’t invent guest reviews or review counts.
Current special offers
Hot offers come from the hotels’ own pages, with the conditions and a link to the source so you can check the price yourself.
Useful beyond the casino
Pools, spas, restaurants, nearby beaches and sights: the things that make a stay good even if you never visit the gaming floor.
Questions travellers ask
Do I have to gamble to stay at these hotels?
No. The hotel and the casino are separate parts of the resort. You can book a room, use the pool, spa and restaurants and never enter the gaming floor.
How old do I need to be to enter the casino?
18 or over in every Australian state and territory, and staff will ask for photo ID. Children can stay at the hotels with their families but cannot enter gaming areas.
Can I book through Casino Stays Guide?
No. We don’t take bookings or payments. The buttons on each card open Booking.com, the hotel’s own website or the hotel’s phone line, and your contract is with them.
How is the editors’ score worked out?
We rate location, rooms, food and drink, facilities and value from the hotel’s published information and public sources, then round to one decimal. The full method is on the About Us page.
Where can I get help if gambling is becoming a problem?
Gambling Help Online and the national helpline 1800 858 858 are free, confidential and open 24/7. Every casino in this guide also offers self-exclusion through its responsible gambling team.
