The Pechanga Resort Casino houses 5,400 slot machines and 152 table games including blackjack, Pai Gow, and poker. Its popular Club at Pechanga program rewards players with valuable perks. Its expansive and exclusive high-limit gaming area attracts discerning gamblers.

The hotel/casino, a glimmering spire that crowns Macao’s new City of Entertainment, is the largest structure on earth. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, it’s meant to look like a birdcage, with windows shaped like feathers and a glass canopy that glows in the night. Its interior is equally spectacular, with a giant chandelier and intricate art pieces.

Despite its opulence, the hotel/casino isn’t even Las Vegas’s biggest. That honor goes to Ledyard, Connecticut’s Foxwoods Resort Casino, owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Indian tribe. It offers more than 4.7 million square feet of gambling space, a two-story arcade, and more than 150 tables.

Because of the large amounts of money that they handle, casinos have to be vigilant about cheating and stealing. Both patrons and staff may be tempted to steal in collusion or independently, so they employ security measures such as cameras to keep an eye on everyone. In addition, the casino’s rules of conduct and behavior are designed to deter theft. Nonetheless, some incidents have occurred, such as the infamous story of the MIT students who robbed the Monte Carlo Casino in 2001.
