Essentially, this complex consists of 4 hotels, a casino - Aria, as well as many wonderful bars, expensive restaurants and cafes. The total area of the complex is 1.5 million square meters, which in turn makes it not only the most expensive building of its type, but also the largest private construction project implemented in the United States.
Two companies are recognized as the owner of this complex: MGM Resorts International (formerly MGM Mirage) and Dubai World (paid 50% of the construction cost during the construction process).

In addition to the casino, Miami also has many kilometers of beach, a good resort climate, an abundance of vegetation, hundreds of gourmet restaurants, amazing nightclubs and Disneyland.

What you need to know before going to a Miami casino
- The most chic Miami casino located between the city and the airport.
- Many Miami casinos offer to immediately book a hotel room so as not to be distracted from the game and not to give up a glass of champagne or cognac. In some casinos, players are given expensive champagne without restrictions and absolutely free of charge.
- A gambling city must be removed from educational institutions, military units, and there are a number of other restrictions on the location of gambling houses. You can’t just build a casino in the middle of the city. A private gambling club is possible, but a casino with slot machines and poker rooms, dozens of roulette tables, restaurants, snack bars and variety shows is not.
- You need to make a special choice when going to a casino. Keep in mind, it pays off. Losing players can be taken to the city for free. But if you win, it’s better to leave on your own. Ideally, you can simply book a transfer service to and from the casino from our company American Butler.
- Persons under 21 years of age enter US casino closed. Security only trusts documents, be sure to take your ID with you. It will also be useful for registering your winnings. Don’t play big right away, don’t be happy with your first win. The rule “beginners are lucky” was invented about 1000 years ago by thimble makers near the Kazansky railway station. Don't make friends with charming Americans who are ready to help you a little or be your partner in the game. You can be friends with lovely American women. It won't be cheap, but you won't regret it.
