The hype around the most exclusive poker event in the world has just turned on the heat after the success of this year's World Series of Poker and the 2005 Monte Carlo Millions is set to razzle and dazzle the most elite poker players. Due to the success of last year's multi-million dollar tournament, the prestigious Prima Poker network has decided to up the stakes in guaranteeing the largest prize pool that has been marked in European history.

Most online players would jump at the chance to play against professional players in land-based tournaments around the world. The Monte Carlo Millions provides the perfect setting and a tournament unparalleled in the poker industry, giving satellite winners the opportunity to take on their poker idols. The tournament attracts top professionals, celebrities and online players from around the world by bringing together the enchantment of the French Riviera, the opulence of Monte Carlo and the excitement of poker.

"There is nothing comparable to playing poker in Monte Carlo", says Tournament Director, Matt Savage. "Monte Carlo Millions puts you eye-to-eye with the best players in the world, competing for the biggest prize pool in the most luxurious and exciting setting in Europe. It's everything you ever dreamed poker could be and more".

Acquiring a seat at the Monte Carlo Millions can propagated in one of two ways – through a personal invite from world renowned Matt Savage, or by earning a seat by winning a satellite tournament, which are held daily at many of the poker rooms hosted by Prima Poker.

Royal Vegas Online Poker Room, one of the leading online partners on the Prima network is offering players a variety of ways to qualify for the Monte Carlo Millions package through sit 'n go tournaments, scheduled Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs) and rounder style tournaments. The value of the Monte Carlo Millions package is 30,000 US dollars with the tournament 1st prize being scheduled at an astounding 1 million dollars.

The final event is set to take place from 20-23 November 2005, and this elaborate tournament will return to Monaco with some 120 satellite and professional players and a guaranteed 3 million US dollar prize pool.

The Prima network has assured the highest quality tournament and accommodation for all online qualifiers by offering a 30,000 dollar deluxe prize package to all players that includes:

•$25,000 buy-in

•Round-trip airfare for two to Nice, France

•Helicopter transfer from the Nice airport to Monte Carlo

•Hotel accommodations for five nights in Monte Carlo

•$500 spending money (or equivalent in Euros)

•International television exposure

Savage is also set to host the Consolation Tournament which will give all players who do not make the final table a chance at a prize pool of 250,000 dollars.

Restaurants In Monte Carlo

In an effort to encourage more people to leave their cars at home and use public transport - not easy in a country that has the highest density of millionaire's in the world - bus fares were cut to a Euro for a single journey, and a year later figures show bus usage has risen 17 per cent.

Prince Albert visited the North Pole last year to publicise how the arctic regions are changing with global warming, and one of his first acts as Monaco's Sovereign was to sign the Kyoto Protocol - along with the US, Monaco was one of the few countries in the world not to endorse it before Prince Albert put pen to paper.

As well as the Monaco Grand Prix, the principality is Europe's best known tax haven, with residents enjoying a zero rated income tax.

With property prices among the highest in the world, residents of Monaco normally need to spend six months a year there to maintain residency.

An announcement has been made recently that a new island is to be built off Monte Carlo, and this will provide more land and property in the world's second smallest country.

Bidders for the development have been asked to take the environment into account - and also the Monaco Grand Prix, which suggests a possible new route for the race.

Despite being one of the world's most glamourous sporting events the Monaco Grand Prix is notorious for a lack of overtaking opportunities, and the new space might in time address the historical criticism of the race.

Property prices in Monaco are high due to the lack of land - in the past one of the districts, Fontvieille, had much of its area reclaimed from the sea, but property prices there equal those of the better known Monte Carlo.

One of the most popular buildings in Fontvieille, Seaside Plaza, has average prices of three to four million Euros for a three bedroom apartment, and a four bedroom four bathroom one is currently on the market at close to ten million Euros.

With a population of under 40,000 Monaco could be forgiven for believing that overseas embassies were an unnecessary expense.

Until now the world's second smallest country has been content to co-operate with French embassies around the world for any necessary representation.

But Monaco has just opened her first independent embassy outside of Europe - in Washington D.C.

Commenting on the new embassy, one local Monaco travel guide says that despite the population equivalent of a small US town, environmental reasons could be behind the move.

'Forget about this being primarily for Monegasques running into trouble in the US and needing assistance. We think this is more to do with Prince Albert wanting to influence the movers and shakers in the world as he is very concerned about global warming and the environment generally. And where better for that than Washington? It's Monaco's greenhouse next to the White House.'

The new embassy, chosen after a visit by Prince Albert, is in the Kalorama district of Washington D.C.
