Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex is a casino and entertainment precinct on the south bank of the Yarra River, in Melbourne, Australia. The complex is one of the central features of the popular Southbank area in the central business district, and fronts onto the waterfront Southbank Promenade.
The Crown Casino includes two hotel towers, a number of exclusive fashion stores, top class restaurants, food courts, cinema complex and more. A notable feature is its entrance, commonly known as the 'light room', this enormous hall, situated at the entrance to the complex, boasts a sound and picture display under the themes of the four seasons.
Crown is notable for the fact it did not follow the American Casino model whereby the gaming floors are located at the entrance, rather it can be a family venue and teenage hangout due to the gaming floors being enclosed.
