Pop the sunnies on and pamper yourself with a day blissfully lounging on a sunbed, swimming in the glistening infinity pool, and grazing on beachy bites while taking in amazing panoramic beach sunsets. If you love the whole cocktail-sipping, sun-soaking beach club experience, INFINITY at the Mindil Beach Casino Resort is the ultimate venue where Darwin’s social scene hits a whole new level. Where else can you catch the world’s greatest sporting events live and loud on the mega screen, and in air-conditioned comfort at NT’s best sporting, leisure and entertainment venue? It’s a big call, but we reckon The Sportsbar at the Mindil Beach Casino Resort is the best sporting entertainment venue in the Northern Territory! With 15 table games and 750 gaming machines, there is something for everyone, ensuring that no one leaves without their share of fun. Located just outside the city centre, the city’s famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets (April-October) are just moments away, with other Darwin attractions also only minutes from the door. Guests enjoy beachside walking and jogging tracks, and Darwin’s George Brown Botanic Gardens are also only a short stroll from the hotel.
The Stuart Highway extends to Darwin's eastern satellite city of Palmerston and its suburbs. Mindil Beach Casino got its license in 1983, one year before it was forcibly acquired by the Territory government, in exchange for $50 million. When Aspinall Holdings started to operate the casino, it changed its name to Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino. Mindil Beach Casino & Resort is the only land-based gambling operator in town, and it reverted to one of its original names after three decades. It used to be simply called Darwin Casino by the city residents, as its previous two owners named it MGM Grand Darwin and SkyCity Darwin.
