The best evening entertainment venues in Cardiff

Located in the South of Wales, Cardiff is the nation’s capital as well as the largest city in the country. It is a cultural hub, full of different cuisines and amazing people, a big reason why it attracts over 18 million visitors every single year. Known for its vast amount of castles, you can indulge in the many lucrative spas located around the city or be more adventurous and seek out one of many scenic views.

But what is there to do in the Welsh capital? If you find yourself searching for some evening entertainment then you won’t have to look far. Cardiff is known for its many venues, here are three of the best that you must visit.

Les Croupiers Casino

If you fancy engaging in some evening gambling, while also enjoying some live music, then Les Croupiers casino is perfect for you. Located in the heart of Cardiff city, this casino gives you a wide variety of gaming choices. From your classic games like Roulette, Poker, and Blackjack as well as all the newest types of slots available.

When finished on the tables you can move to the lounge which includes a bar and several televisions, constantly broadcasting all the latest sports.

The casino, which was established over forty years ago, has a restaurant also on site. Gambling has grown in popularity over the past decade and a big reason for that is its switch from land-based to online. You can get everything and more online with a huge choice of vetted websites like this review of Live Casino House.

Cardiff International Arena

A multi-purpose venue next to the city centre, the Cardiff International Arena is a world-class entertainment venue.

You can see live music, comedy, or even big sporting events almost every weekend at the arena. Dame Shirley Bassey was the first act to perform on stage 25 years ago and since then they have hosted the likes of Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Oasis. They have also welcomed comedians like Peter Kay and Ricky Gervais.

When they are not hosting some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, they put on their original theatre. This Christmas they put on a stellar production of Elf. There is constantly something going on, so just give their website a look.
