The new Casino Valencia opened its doors to the public in August. The property, owned by the Cirsa Group, totals 4,000 square meters and includes restaurants, bars and terraces.

The casino has 21 gaming tables and 130 slots. Games include blackjack, roulette, baccarat and mini baccarat. A VIP room provides four tables and a terrace overlooking the main avenue.

A dedicated poker area occupies an entire floor of the structure and can provide tournaments for up to 200 players. The room will be put to its first major test when it hosts a leg of the 2010 Spanish Poker Tour at the end of September.

Inside the casino, Restaurant One Vlc features Chef Rafa Morales, who received his second Michelin star in 2004.

A floating stage is provided for a variety of entertainment. Parking for 200 cars is available on two levels.

The casino can be occupied by 1,550 people at a time. Cirsa anticipates 250,000 visitors through the doors in the first full year of operation.

The casino represents an investment of €15 million.
