In addition, they also brag about their construction of an artificial beach which notably allures celebrities, vacationers and famous personalities to visit any time of the year.

Secondly, Monaco nationals are strictly not allowed to gamble within the country! Acknowledging the consequences of commercial gambling, citizens are not permitted even to enter the casino.
