I have never been to a Casino before and I was up to create an event with my co-workers what better…read morethan a Casino night out? I went scoping for Casino's in Dublin on the Internet and I liked how The Fitzwilliam Casino and Card Club presented itself. It was a bit out of our way from where we had our dinner, but I had a blast when I was there. I had played Black Jack before on the internet but just as a spare time kinda thing, so did not know much about the rules or how to best play the game. Luckily one of my coworkers had loved Casino's when she had lived in the states so she had gotten a good grip on how to play the game. So she and the dealer started teaching all of us how to play black jack. I would not say I was a great success but I did go home with 2 Euro's of winnings. The people there are hardcore gamlers, a bit agressive but the staff is very welcoming and do not mind helping you out finding the right table to start off with. We wanted as low a bid as possible to start off with but the 3 Euro table was full. When they then saw that we were quite a lot of people wanting to play the 3 Euro table they opened another table for us with one of their more experienced dealers. The drinks are free but they do not serve alcohol. To some extend I sort of understand why, it seems to be a very professional place and knowing the Irish, mixing it with alcohol might not be the best idea for this kind of place. Should I do gamble again, I would go here again.

I read about this place before we left so I knew to sign up and pay the membership before we got there. When you show up you show your ID and wa la they let you in. Our first impression WOW! It was right out of a book or movie. Plush and stately. But the staff/dealers were so nice and welcoming. We sat at a blackjack table for a few hours. Mom had such a great time, we went back the following day. I'm now looking to take her back next year. This place is a gem, go.

It does surprise because it's easily the best venue to watch sports or play any of those casino inspired games (you can tell I just watch). I wandered down this lane, which sounds pretty bad but I have probably an unhealthy fascination with taking the road less traveled which can lead to dangerous situations such as when the homeless guy at the back of the lane jumped up like a jack in the box shouting. My friend and I were admiring the building and that it even existed when one of the staff came out and invited us in. It was a really cold day in January, he offered us free coffee and walked us through what they do there. It's so plush in there and there is a carvery type area that had nice pub grub fare. Loads of screens, I told him that I am a Saints fan and he said that they play all the NFL games and basically any sporting game you can think of. It's membership only and the website explains more. But I think it's about 25 euro for the year. Over 21s only and it's open from 6pm to 6am. I promise to join and do a revised review of what it's like at 4am in the morning ;) But after the tour and the great hospitality I'm pretty sure that it's one of the leaders in that area.

They are a little bit close together, so try to get a corner table, this reduces the amount of times you will have to stand upright to take a shot! Two stars down for this. €10/hour. The place does not serve alcohol, so it does not have a boozey atmosphere, which suited us fine. Maybe that is also why myself and my friend were the only Irish people there!!!

It's a big fairground with carousels and a big Ferris Wheel, so big in fact that you can see it from miles away. The rides are great fun though, especially the rollercoaster. On the downside though, there is usually huge queues and it's quite pricey- well it is in D4! Like Aoife said, the view from the Ferris Wheel is great and nearly worth coming to Funderland on its own. There is children's rides as well. All in all, it's a great afternoon out if you don't mind huge crowds and long queues.
