Situated a little further out, it is a major destination for the fast expanding city of Perth and is now the largest single-site private sector employer in Western Australia with approximately 5,800 people on its books.
Though it first opened in 1985, it has been renewed and hugely expanded since Crown acquired it in 2007. Whilst the Melbourne property is more of an urban resort, Crown Perth has a traditional resort feel. Though city-based, Crown Melbourne is aptly called a resort since it delivers everything a visitor could need, all on one site. Far from being just the best and largest place for gambling in the entire Southern Hemisphere, it offers its visitors cinemas, retail complexes, luxury accommodation and global food experiences from outlets such as Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, which can be found at Crown Towers, one of three hotels on the site. It's become a major destination for Victoria and a magnet for tourists from around the world. Crown Melbourne, a feature of the city since its opening in 1997, is a massive gaming and entertainment complex boasting more than 45 bars and restaurant spreading across multiple city blocks.
Crown Resorts is a much larger business than it first appears.
