March 22, 2013 - PRLog -- LONDON, England -March 2013. Steeped in history, opulence and splendour, the phenomenal Monte Carlo SBM offers the serious wow factor. Built originally in 1863, this beautiful building has a unique charm and elegance that cannot be matched today. The founder, Francois Blanc, went above and beyond to create a breathtakingly glamorous casino and his legacy still survives even 150 years later. True to form, it is only fitting that the Monte Carlo SBM celebrates its landmark success with a spectacular procession of exquisite events.

Spring/Summer 2013 will be dominated by the grandeur of the casino and its anniversary will be one to remember.

Dedicated to celebrating the incredible city of Monte Carlo, this exhibition is perfect for providing a cultural backdrop to the series of celebrations.

   For the past year, the casino has been under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld and the  Bal de la Rose pays tribute to the heavenly combination of traditional and contemporary design. Famed for his eclectic and inspiring designs, Lagerfeld has injected serious style and sophistication into the Monte Carlo SBM and the Bal de la Rose on the 23rd March is not to be missed.

To celebrate the birthday of the company on the 2nd April, the Monte Carlo SBM is launching a concept book, marking this wonderful occasion by telling its intriguing tale. Delving into the history of the casino and paying homage to its historical heritage, the "Rêves, de la Société des Bains de Mer à Monte-Carlo SBM" is not only informative but beautifully illustrated. Featuring striking photography captured by renowned Italian artist, Gia Casselero, this is a book you won't be able to put down.

These key events are just the beginning of an exciting summer of festivities and the main attraction is the Weekend d'Exception. Taking place over the course of the first weekend in July, this is an eagerly anticipated event which will see the gathering of the world press. With an exclusive trip to the casino, this weekend is bursting with exciting activities and events. Including a stunning show at the Opera Garnier, the unveiling of the Fratelli Campana Jewels, the 'Dangerous Luxury' exhibition created especially for the casino, a concert, cocktails and so much more, this weekend will be a spectacular show of wealth, luxury and extravagance.
