Opened in 2000 as Caesars Gauteng before being taken over and rebranded Emperors Palace under Peermont, this Kempton Park resort borrows loosely from classical Rome and Egypt in its theming, with venues carrying names like the Theatre of Marcellus, Pharaoh’s Bar and Queen of the Nile Buffet. Its gaming floor covers roughly 188,000 square feet with around 1,700 slot machines and 68 table games, including live poker, while four on-site hotels, the Metcourt, D’Oreale Grande, Mondior and Metcourt Suites, total about 670 rooms. The resort also has a cinema, a kids’ entertainment area, spa services and hosts conventions, comedy shows and concerts, running 24 hours with free entry. Its location near OR Tambo International Airport makes it a convenient stop for both locals and travellers looking for gaming, dining or a show.
