The Boardwalk Casino Guide

Although the Boardwalk is Nelson Mandela Bay's sole casino, it is a sight to behold even if you don't enjoy gambling. Located across the street from the ocean, the gaming establishment is just one part of the thoroughly impressive Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment World. The five-star property, which opened in 2012, feels like an upscale adult amusement park, although the entire family is welcome.

The casino operates around the clock with games for every level of expertise and budget. Whether you prefer table games or slots, there's enough to keep even the most discerning player entertained. Well heeled visitors are invited to visit the Salon Privé for a more intimate experience.

You'll definitely want to stay at least one night at the 140-room luxury hotel, that's easily the finest in the region. The best part is sea views are standard. No matter how long you find yourself at the Boardwalk, you'll love the great dining. Whether you are looking for a tipple, snack, or full-fledged fine dining experience, the Boardwalk gives you 21 different options. Enjoy everything from hotdogs and bubble tea to gastronomic delights, but don't forget the sensational cocktails.

While the casino is definitely a destination in itself, it's hard to discount the allure of the Port Elizabeth waterfront that's located across the street. Yet there's plenty of other entertainment on site including musicians, comedians, and festivals in the International Convention Centre. It's easy to see why the Boardwalk is the crown jewel of the Eastern Cape.
