101 Things I Love About Sydney

Formerly with the much more confusing name of "Sydney Harbour Casino", Star City is where dreams come true. Especially if your dream is losing all your money to the pokies and travelling home in a minibus.

Essentially the same as Melbourne's Crown Casino - but without the glorious riverside locale, food court, cinema complex or array of bars, Star City is Sydney's premier gambling location. But that's not all. There's also the Showrrom theatre which has the latest jukebox musical or 30 year-old musical revival, popular undoubtedly because of the parking. There's also a fake fountain, a cafe with some of the most expensive and worst coffee in Sydney, a sports bar that's always empty, a convenience store, an Irish pub with all the ambience of a Westfield shopping mall (with music to match) and a Chinese noodle resteraunt with one of the most mediocre laksa's around. But I hear the gym recently had a firing range put in, so at least that's something new put in.
