Glistening on the waterfront, The Star draws rollers—and the odd high-roller—from Australia, Asia, and beyond. Dining options range from casual street food bites to fine dining and fusion cuisine. With bars aplenty, it’s possible to raise a toast at cocktail lounges, a sports bar, the Marquee club, or the popular Rock Lily live music venue. The Star Poker Room hosts several weekly tournaments as well as the Sydney World Series of Poker. Many travelers opt to see The Star from a distance on a Sydney harbor cruise or experience the complex by booking show tickets at the Sydney Lyric Theatre or the rooftop event center.
The Star sits on Darling Harbour in the heart of downtown Sydney. It’s easy to reach by public transport: Simply catch Light Rail line 1 from Central Station to The Star station. The casino operates a shuttle service, the Star Express, from suburbs around Sydney—but you need to be a member to use it.
The Star Sydney casino and complex is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but to make the most of the dining and drinking options visit in the evening. The period around Lunar New Year (in January or February) can be extremely busy.
