Whether you're a hardcore casino lover or a mere 'have a go and enjoy the experience', check out these top 5 gambling cities around the world and download the Lonely Planet travel guide.

2. San Jose, Costa Rica
Poke around San José’s historic neighborhoods, stroll with Saturday shoppers at the farmers market, join the Sunday crowds in Parque La Sabana, dance the night away to live music, or visit the museums of gold, jade, art and natural history.
Coverage includes: Sights, Activities, Courses, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping.
