If one's purpose of visiting the Sunshine State is to drop by the casino and hope to rake in some wins whilst contributing to the rake, there are sufficient places for the choosing.  Worthy of the average player's expectations yet not in the large scale sense of gambling establishments worldwide, these places have what visitors needs to enter their halls and toss a few loose change onto the tables and feed the slot machines.  To play in style, one needs to get into the groove.  Visitors fitting this mold can easily source for a Brisbane boutique hotel near a casino.  Standing out from the rest of nearby structures, the well-recognized exterior of colonnades and sandstone walls resembles a palace.  Adopting its name from the historical Treasury building, it is somewhat ironical as this hotel is a treasury of sorts, taking in money and keeping them safe rather than giving them out.  If anyone knows of a casino or treasury which is in the habit of giving more than taking, please step forward with the information.

Despite its less than modern façade, the interior of the hotel is certainly re-designed and refurbished to present the latest and best to partakers of the gaming industry.  Although there are meeting rooms for business travelers to carry out work, seriously, who goes to a casino to work?  By offering its guests dining cum playing privileges, some may not even leave its perimeter for fear of losing their winning streak to the next player who happens to take over their vacated spot.  If one has a tendency of developing an overzealous passion for this sport, it may be better to stay at a Brisbane boutique hotel near a casino than within it.  One can then hopefully avoid the siren call of the clattering chips.

In the event one's better, or lesser, half is geared towards this sort of spending activity, shopping is always a great alternative to while the time away instead of smoldering in the room awaiting his or her return.  Malls are located within walking distance as it does not take great minds in city planning to understand the synergy between shopping and gambling.  One can stroll through Queen Street Mall and peruse the offerings of retailers within the central business district.  By taking a bus or cab to the suburbs, more opportunities lie in wait of the eager shopper.  All in all, one has plenty of opportunity to spend hard-earned money whilst letting the chips fall.
