Review of Casino Gran MadridMadrid's largest place for gambling, the Casino also appeals to nongamblers with a well-choreographed roster of dining and entertainment facilities, including two restaurants, four bars, and a nightclub. And if you happen to enjoy gambling, there are facilities for French and American roulette, blackjack, punto y banco, baccarat, and chemin de fer. Presentation of a passport at the door is essential -- without it, you won't be admitted. Entrance costs 6€. A ticket is sometimes provided gratis by Madrid's larger hotels, so ask ahead. The casino and all of its facilities are open daily from 4pm to 5am. An a la carte restaurant in the French Gaming Room offers international cuisine, with dinners costing from 40€ to 65€. A buffet in the American Gaming Room will cost around 30€. The restaurants are open 9:15pm to 2am. The casino is 29km (18 miles) northwest of Madrid in the suburb of Torrelodones. If you don't feel like driving, the casino has buses that depart from Plaza de España 6 every afternoon and evening at 4:30, 6, 7:30, and 11pm and at 1am. Note that between October and June, men must wear jackets and ties; T-shirts and tennis shoes are forbidden in any season.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
