Crown Casino

Southbank, Melbourne

Melbourne's Crown Casino sits beside the Yarra River in the renamed Southbank Precinct. One of Melbourne's few 24-hour entertainment venues, it offers an excellent spot for a late night or early morning coffee and light meal.

The Crown Casino was a new addition to Melbourne in 1996, and its social and economic effects on the city were still the subject of much discussion. In addition to the Casino and its associated entertainment (a Showroom with live entertainment from international guests and several bars), there are movie theatres, theme nightspots, informal and formal eating places, and high-end shops.
