Check Out These High Roller Hotels, Resorts for 2025

How crazy is it that we are heading into 2025?  But time doesn't stop and some of our friends in the gambling resort world just keep getting better with age, like a fine wine.

Below we look at some amazing resort and casino establishments that Gambling911.com readers will want to visit in 2025.  Add these to your bucket list for sure as there are plenty of activities beyond the resort.

So hop on board your private jet - or, if you are like us - one unchecked bag and a personal item (laptop case) on Spirit - and let's go check each of these place out. 

First stop, Costa Rica....

The Amapola Resort, Jaco Beach, Costa Rica

Jaco Beach is considered the cool party beach in Costa Rica.  It's also quite affordable.

Costa Rica is home to more sportsbooks than any other nation in the world.  Most operators and staff head to Jaco Beach a few times out of the year.

If you've never been to Costa Rica, you'll want to spend a few nights near San Jose (not in it) at one of the fabulous resorts.  The Marriott San Jose is near the international airport and is built on a coffee plantation.  The Real Intercontinental is one of our personal favorite hotels anywhere and includes fabulous five star restaurants as well as an amazing pool area.

San Jose typically is sunny during the winter months January through April.  Rainy season is mild (not oppressively hot) during the summer months.  You'll want to get out by the pool during the morning hours.

The beaches can be sunny throughout the day whenever you come to Costa Rica but the summers will be much warmer than in the mountainous region of San Jose. 

The country is like no other you'll ever go to and the people are so warm and friendly.  Did you know that Costa Rica is the second oldest democracy in the world, beating out Canada by one week.  True story you can Google it.

When in Jaco, be sure to stay at the Amapola Resort.

This resort is a tropical retreat that attracts travelers from around the world in search of sun, beaches and exciting adventures.  The hotel features villas, junior suites, even apartments.  The casino includes 31 slots, blackjack, 3-card poker and much more.  The Amapola Resort just opened an online sportsbook free to those across the world with super high limits.  Be sure to open your online betting account before arrival so that you can tell them Gambling911.com sent you and be treated like a king or queen.

Amapola Resort Jaco is strategically located in the city of Jaco, making it the ideal starting point for exploring Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Jaco is known for its beaches, world-class surfing and a wide variety of outdoor activities.

Circa Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

True high rollers will always head to Las Vegas at some point during the year.

Instead of staying at the usual high priced tourist traps on the Vegas Strip, do yourself a favor and visit authentic historic Downtown Las Vegas.  The Strip isn't even in Vegas for God's sake.

Real Vegas has character through and through.

Circa Resort & Casino is a casino and hotel resort in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, on the Fremont Street Experience. The property was previously occupied by the Las Vegas Club hotel-casino, the Mermaids Casino, and the Glitter Gulch strip club.

The folks who run the Circa Resort & Casino seem like the real deal.  They host the famed NFL Survivor Contest and the Sportsbook Hall of Fame along with BetBash, a networking event exclusively for sports bettors, recreational to whales.  Circa Sportsbook takes the highest limits both on property and online (if you are fortunate to reside in one of the few states where the app is available).

"Rooted in the neon glow of the past, we celebrate living large in the now, and keep our eyes wide open to the future. Drawing on the best that has come before us, we are building a new legacy: one that turns the good times up to eleven and burns bright with the original spirit of Vegas. In a city where time disappears, we are the masters of these fleeting moments, creating experiences that electrify the soul and memories that will last forever. We go big. We go all night. And here, everyone is on the guest list. So get loose and get loud. This is Circa. The time of your life."

Mention Gambling911.com and you probably won't get any special gift but that won't matter as this place is simply amazing and the people who run this place live and breathe sports betting and gambling.  Jeffrey Benson's Twitter page is always a fun read.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale, Florida

The Seminole Nation has turned this hotel and casino into a world class establishment...and, yes, they still have FREE parking. 

The rooms are really nice.  Our friend Spooky's (of Spooky Express) wife got us a room there in the newly constructed Guitar Hotel last year and it was incredible.  The Seminole Hard Rock invited local press, including your friends at Gambling911.com, to come partake in the grand opening of the Guitar Hotel complete with real mermaids.  Check it out here

South Florida has a few casinos but this is where we send all of our gambling visitors.  It's like a tiny piece of Las Vegas in South Florida.

We are already planning a celebration for our friend's birthday in October.  He'll be losing money on the slots.  We will be enjoying the Davidoff Cigar Lounge.

"Davidoff of Geneva's mission is to delight guests with premium cigars and accessories. With unparalleled expertise, the team is on hand to guide guests through the unique collection of the finest cigars, accessories and carefully curated pieces. The private cigar lounge offers the ultimate escape, giving guests a sophisticated and comfortable experience to fill their time beautifully. Unique to the Hollywood, FL location, the lounge also features a premium selection of spirits, wine and handcrafted cocktails."

Our dear friend Joey Odessa is now with Hard Rock Bet, Florida's only licensed and regulated sports betting app.
