"There was a bit of melancholy when, on September 12, 2015, Casino Bad Gastein closed after many decades. There were wonderful events, a lot of celebrities and the casino often provided the special flair in Bad Gastein. And for many of us, going to the casino was just something special.
The Casino Bad Gastein was opened in 1937, one of the highlights is New Year's Eve on December 31, 1982 with Liza Minnelli, which was shown live on German and Austrian television, followed by appearances by Shirley Bassey and Charles Aznavour. In 1984 the casino moved from the congress center to the Hotel de l´Europe, in the same year the Miss Europe election took place here, which Nese Erberk from Turkey won, Mercedes Stermitz from Austria took 3rd place."
