About The Star Sydney
The Star Sydney, previously known as Star City Casino until a 2011 rebranding, is located on the Darling Harbour precinct at Pyrmont. The complex opened in 1997 and serves as the only licensed casino in New South Wales. A major A$2 billion transformation completed in stages through the 2010s and 2020s elevated the property into a full integrated resort.
The gaming floor spans approximately 200,000 square feet across two levels and offers around 1,500 gaming machines and 230 table games including baccarat, poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps. The Sovereign Room provides a private VIP environment for premium players.
The resort includes The Darling hotel (a luxury five-star property), The Star Grand hotel, multiple award-winning restaurants, a ballroom for 2,000 guests, and a world-class spa. The Star Entertainment Group holds the licence but faced suitability inquiries in 2022 that resulted in a special manager being appointed. The property continues to operate and remains a key destination for Sydney visitors.
