What town has the most casinos?

Las Vegas, Nevada is one of the most populated casino cities in the world by number of casinos. As per the WorldCasinoDirectory, Las Vegas has 170+ casinos and 90+ casino hotels in the city. Whereas, Nevada as a whole has 404 licensed casinos and 178 casino hotels across 45 gambling cities in the state.



While Macau is the world's leader in gambling revenue, Las Vegas, Nevada, remains the "town" with the most casinos by sheer volume. In 2026, the Las Vegas metropolitan area (including the Strip, Downtown, and local "Boulder Strip" markets) boasts over 160 casinos. If you count individual gaming licenses across the entire state of Nevada, the number is even higher, but Las Vegas is the undisputed density champion. Globally, other major hubs include London, which has over 25 casinos, and Macau, which has roughly 40 massive integrated resorts that are much larger in scale than their Vegas counterparts. In 2026, the rise of "Integrated Resorts" means that while the number of individual casinos in places like Singapore remains small (only 2), their impact is massive. However, for a traveler seeking the highest "casino-per-square-mile" density, the legendary neon-lit streets of Las Vegas remain the global "Gold Standard" for gaming variety.
