The Crown Melbourne complex stretches across two city blocks with a sprawling facade of dark glass and gold-tinted windows. When the casino first opened in nineteen ninety-four at a temporary site across the river, it was the first legalized gambling venue in the state of Victoria. Kerry Packer, the media tycoon who drove the project, famously insisted on the massive scale to lure high rollers from Asia. Today, it remains one of the largest casino complexes in the world, operating around the clock.
