Our Mount Rushmore of Casinos
Casinos We’d Set in Stone🗿🔨
Today I’ve been tasked with choosing our Mount Rushmore of casinos—because apparently I’m now the Gutzon Borglum (you know, the guy who carved it) of casinos. And honestly? I’m leaning in. If we’re gonna carve four casinos into a giant rockface, they better bring drama, nostalgia, unearned confidence, and at least one velvet chaise lounge. Here are the four that made the cut on our sculpted gambling boulder.
The Flamingo (Las Vegas, USA)
Sometimes the vibes call for a shiny, new Bellagio-type casino. But sometimes, like when you’re building a Mount Rushmore, it calls for OG vintage Las Vegas charm. Living in Vegas, I’ve got a soft spot for The Flamingo. She’s got that old-school mobster girlfriend energy. A little faded, a little kitschy, smells like smoke and regret—but in a hot way. If you don’t think she belongs on this list, you probably also think Vegas began with the Cosmopolitan. Be serious.

This one is the George Washington of casino news. Not because he’s flashy, but because he secretly loved a good time. I feel like he’d totally vibe with The Flamingo’s weird retro glam and order a daiquiri without blinking.
Casino de Monte-Carlo (Monaco)
Monte-Carlo is as glamorous as it gets and to leave it off our list would be sacrilegious, honestly. If The Flamingo is vintage Vegas, then Monte-Carlo is vintage Europe, which, let’s be real, is way more impressive.

The spot this one would take is Thomas Jefferson. Because let’s be real—he’d eat this place up. He was a pretentious little snib and a full-blown Francophile. Definitely the kind of guy who’d judge your outfit at the roulette table while quoting Rousseau.
Marina Bay Sands (Singapore)
This one’s here because to balance out our vintage vibes, we need one casino that looks like a spaceship. Also, if you’re gonna gamble, why not do it in paradise?

Let’s call this one the Theodore Roosevelt of casinos. We all know he’d get one look at the natural beauty of Singapore and be hootin’ and hollerin’ about protected land. However, it’s not a perfect fit. He’d likely hate the strict gambling regulations. But whatever, he’d still be vibing.
Casino Baden-Baden (Germany)
Dostoevsky gambled here and spiraled, so obviously I relate. It’s all red velvet, chandeliers, and brooding European salon vibes. This is where the artsy rich people go. The ones you meet and you’re like, “damn, you’re rich and cool?”

Just like good ol’ Abe Lincoln, it’s got all the good vibes. Also, I just feel like he’d haunt this place in a long coat, silently crying at the bar, sipping absinthe, and whispering about honor. We love to see it.
So there ya have it, folks. Our Mount Rushmore. You know, if this were a digital carving, BetUS would absolutely be up there as our Honest Abe. Reliable. Bold. Probably wearing a top hat made of chips. But alas, we’re not talking bet platforms or online casinos today—we’re all about the IRL drama. Maybe next time. Now tell me: who’s on your mountain?
