The Central Business District with its breathtaking skyline is the beating heart of Auckland. It is glamorous and bursting with life and offers trendy bars, designer boutiques, extravagant shopping, entertainment, adventure and nightlife right by the harbourside.
If you are feeling lucky, you can book yourself into a casino hotel with easy access to the gaming floor. Here you can try your hand at roulette, slot machines or card tables. Casino hotels in the Auckland Central Business District feature either a casino directly adjacent to the hotel or they have a casino on site.
