This isn't just a Casino it's an indoor Italian Town with its own stream running through it. With lots of Insta spots. Including, a theatre, a restaurant, an outside square, indoor restaurants, bars, shops, a Cinema, a children's fun fair, Lazer Tag, a Steak house of note, and of course a Casino. Too much to mention here, but also walking distance or 2 minutes int he car, or taxi.

Honestly the best pizza and pasta place, with an amazing outdoor area to sit and sip on a cold beer. With chickens walking about, friendly staff, and sporting TVs, to watch the match. Plus a children's play area.

What a place to go have a picnic, walk, or climb the mount, where some of the first human remains have been found. Plus a lake to sit in and watch the sun go down at Country Meats restaurant.

Two floors of shops, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, and everything in between. You can't do this place in a day, it's just too big. Also, has a lovely outdoor mini golf course, and beach bar with a pool.

There's an Irish pub, but the two places I love are the Asian Two in One takeaway, and the Mozambican restaurant and bar, which is excellent for taking in a sundowner (spectacular views)...and the food is authentic.

The home of Mandela Square, but this place is gigantic, with three floors, with something like 1500 shops. You will need a few days to get around this place. Lots of things to see and do.
