Instagram puts Sun City on social media map

Sun City ranks among the top 15 most picturesque casinos in the world on Instagram.

This is according to www.bestcasinosites.net, which sought to find gambling spots that inspire the most posts on the social media site.


"Casinos aren't just a place to gamble, they can also be picturesque places to stay. From the fountains of the Bellagio to the Egyptian-inspired pyramid of the Luxor, casinos make iconic Instagram snaps with their decadent architecture and interior design," it said.

Bestcasinosites.net collated a seed list of 43 of the most iconic casinos around the world from an assortment of articles from Architectural Digest, Trips To Discover, New York Spaces, Space Coast Daily, Town & Country Magazine,
Our Culture Mag, Cool Things, Finances Online and One World 365.

Instagram was then scoured to find the most used relevant hashtag for each casino and each was then ranked in popularity. With 67,759 posts, Sun City came in at 12 on the list. Being surrounded by the bush and wildlife earned the resort a spot.

The Bellagio in Las Vegas took the top position with a whopping 2,988,380 posts that have the hashtag #Bellagio.

According to Bestcasinosites.net, the result is "not surprising as this Las Vegas resort and casino is synonymous with the word 'luxury' with its [140m] fountains becoming a tourist attraction in their own right".

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore was ranked second with 1,910,335 posts.
