 Great Travels

Gambling In Monte Carlo: The Old Beach and New Beach,both being hotels of top quality at Monte Carlo's small but elegant strand, are summer members of the luxury family. All of the above except the Metropole are under a single management. The Monte Carlo Palace is the most widely known hostelry, partly because of its superlative cuisine and its well-stocked wine cellar.
Sports have a year-round season, one of the most exciting events for spectators being the January Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, a monster motor race in which competitors drive stock cars to Monte Carlo from such diverse starting points as Athens, Glasgow, Lisbon, Munich, Oslo, Stockholm and Palermo. They "rally" at a point along the way, each with an appropriate handicap, and enter Monaco all on the same day.
Monte Carlo goes its way and will go its way as long as people are people. One may enter the casino by securing a card—for almost nothing—at the office just inside the entrance, and watch the Spirit of Chance or have a bout with this spirit. Roulette and trente-et-quarante are the chief games, though there are small-caliber gambling in monte carlo machines in the main lobby for the small of purse.
The blasting breath of war scarcely touched the ever-fortunate principality. One bad bomb-gouge was bitten out of the main esplanade, rather near the casino, and one or two more were made in the toy harbor below, but in general, like its big sister Nice, this fortress of pleasure escaped.
