The casino is still open today, but this small key mold chip dates back to circa 1960’s

Casino du Liban is a casino located in Maameltein, in Lebanon and is 22 km north of Beirut.

With an area of about 35,000 square meters, the casino has around 400 slot machines and 60 gaming tables. It has a showroom, nightclub, theater, banquet facility, and five restaurants. The casino was first opened in 1959. It closed in 1989 during the Lebanese Civil War and reopened in 1996 after a $50 million reconstruction and refurbishment project.

The Casino du Liban is majority-owned by Intra Investment Company, a Lebanese government-controlled company that is the remainder of the former Intra Bank, with the remainder of the shares held by private companies and individuals.[3] The casino is managed by London Clubs International, a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment.

Performers at the Casino’s nightclub included Duke Ellington, Danny Thomas, Jacques Brel, and Julio Iglesias. Visitors at the casino included King Hussein of Jordan, Albert II, Prince of Monaco, the Shah of Iran, Aristotle Onassis, Omar Sharif, and Osama bin Laden

In his memoir of the international hotel business, Shadow of the Sun: Travels And Adventures in the World of Hotels, Peter J. Venison wrote that the Casino du Liban “was elegant, yet the cabaret was spectacular and rivaled anything that Las Vegas could offer”. He also described it as a backdrop of a James Bond novel where clientele from the richest elite of European and Arabian societies ventured into the casino in formal black-tie attire.
