Bellagio Dominates the 2025 International Casino Awards

The Hippodrome Casino has been awarded the prestigious title of Best Casino in London. Meanwhile, the Grosvenor franchise demonstrated its nationwide appeal, with several of its venues earning top honours, including in Blackpool, Southend, Birmingham Hill Street, Swansea, Newcastle, Liverpool, and Brighton.

Taking center stage, Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas swept multiple top honors, including the coveted Best Casino in the World title.

“The Bellagio is iconic for a reason, and its recognition in four categories speaks volumes,” said Lee Gwilliam, SVP at Casinos.com. “These awards were decided by players, people who have actually been inside these places, so every win is a true mark of excellence.”

In addition to being named the Best Casino in the World, the Bellagio also won awards for Best Casino in Las Vegas, Casino with the Best Staff, and Best Poker Room.

The awards coincided with the inaugural International Casinos Day, officially proclaimed by Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley. Celebrated each year on May 15, this special date marks Las Vegas's 120th anniversary and serves as a global tribute to casino culture. It honors the vibrant entertainment experiences delivered by both land-based and online casinos, acknowledging their role in entertaining millions of people around the world.

“International Casinos Day gave the world a chance to recognize that casinos are about more than just gaming, they’re entertainment hubs, cultural icons, and community landmarks,” Gwilliam added.

“It was refreshing to see casinos getting the credit they deserve. This celebration is just the beginning.”
