Sunset

On the way to the Casino for dinner (previous post) this is what we saw as we drove there.
Then photos of inside mostly part of the gambling area.








The downstairs entrance and if look to the left (not shown) is a cafe area a wall then the gambling area, the main one.



We took the lift which is outside this gambling area (a smaller one.) The lift is along and around the corner.

  1. Hi Margaret, your photos of the views are absolutely stunning! The cafe looks and sounds like a great place for breakfast or dinner!

    1. Thank you Linda. I've only eaten at the cafe downstairs once, the food is cheaper but nothing wrong with it.

    1. Thanks Liam.
      Downstairs in the cafe it's called the Watergarden, I will put a link to the menu. Cheaper than up stairs where we always go which is a buffet, they serve there seafoods and baked meat with veggies, just help yourself. Then there is another area downstairs where you can have a coffee or tea with cake or biscuits.
      Also upstairs is an Al carte restaurant which we have also frequented many times.
      Nice food.

    1. Thank you. Would you! That's ok, some people have a set amount to gamble and when that's gone for the week or whatever they leave it till the next time.

  6. Easy to see you had a great time there, as Casino is a lovely place. I like the sunset in the 1st photo. Is it the highway? Have a nice weekend!

    1. Yes, that is the highway in the first photo, you then turn off to go to the casino area, then turn off again to go up Casino Drive.
      Always have a good time dining there Giorgio.

    1. Thank you Katerina. It is nice the sunset, was lovely to see as we travelled along. I think that the casino needs a refurbish as it's been there awhile now.

    1. Chasing the sunset, wasn't too sure if we would have it most of the way but we did. It's a nice casino, and not too crowded that night when I took the photos.

  11. It's a nice soft sunset, making for a relaxed mood.
    I thought it was illegal to take photos inside a gambling area. Perhaps no one noticed you.

    1. Was good to see that sunset, it was a surprise when we turned the corner to go up the highway, Andrew.
      No one noticed as not many people there at all that evening.
      I don't know if it's illegal or not, did look it up. No one tapped me on the shoulder, and of course you can take photos of your food and people at your table, the gambling area is ok as far as I know as long as you don't take photos of people playing blackjack and so on. I think all the staff could do is ask you to delete the photos or maybe ask you to leave.
      I wouldn't take photos of the gambling area of people gambling.

      are not showing off their skills on Terrigal beach but those restaurants
      on the waterfront are doing a roaring trade !!!

  15. Casinos are very flashy these days with all the "one-armed bandits" and their lights and sounds. Very gentle sunset.

    1. That's true R. I remember once visiting the casino in Melbourne when it was new, so surprised to see walls full of machines and women sitting there playing them. I went in the morning time before my business day began.

  29. Those are gorgeous skies and the casino looks very nice. I have played the slots in Las Vegas but that was years ago, the same for another casino on a road trip where I won 90 dollars on the slots and they had to drag me away to resume our journey. I played them one other time but only allowed myself 20 dollars and I donated that back into the machine in the blink of an eye.

  32. Beautiful, atmospheric place and very cozy, for spending evening moments or for an evening dinner. And the photos from the car are very interesting, I like this time of day, when everything slows down in a circle to the rhythm of the ending day...
