Montecasino

Montecasino is a shopping, hotel, entertainment and casino complex built in the style of an 18th or 19th century Italian village and derives its name from the monastery of Monte Cassino in Italy which was the scene of a bloody battle in World War 2.  This recreated village is replete with original Vespa scooters and Fiat 500's and is located in the suburb of Fourways about 10kms northwest of Sandton or about 25 kms outside of the Johannesburg CBD. 
The complex includes four 5 star hotels, a casino, shops, restaurants and theatres arranged around an open air piazza and squares interconnected by narrow lanes. Internationally renowned shows including The Lion King, Cats, Beauty and the Beast and High School are staged at the modern 1000 seat Teatro.  
Regular special events are hosted and have included a National Tattoo, Davis Cup tennis and an Irish Food Festival over St. Patrick's Day weekend.
However, our favourites include the Montecasino Bird World located next to the Montecasino Hotel which features aviaries of exotic birds plus flying shows at 11.00am and 3.00pm each day. 
Our overseas visitors have also been particularly impressed with eating dinner or drinking coffee at one of the restaurants surrounding the piazza especially on a summer's evening while the musical fountains dance to classical and popular music each hour and, all the while minstrels and jugglers perform as they stroll among the crowds.
