For those, who find the cities of South Africa too hectic, an experience of a different kind is waiting in Sun City. In the middle of an extended savannah lies the Las Vegas of southern Africa. The spacious entertainment area used to be part of the former homeland Bophuthatswana. The formal independence of the homeland made it possible for the businessman Sol Kerzner to set up this complex quite close to the population centres Johannesburg and Pretoria, where, amongst other things, striptease and gambling are offered, which activities had been forbidden in the Calvinist old South Africa. Besides that, internationally famous entertainers like rockstars perform here, who have always attracted many people.
Nowadays Sun City has lost the odour of sin. The name now stands for luxurious hotels, beautifully laid-out watergardens, excellent golf courses, unusual gambling halls, exclusive casinos and first-class entertainment shows.
The latest jewel in the chain of casino complexes is Lost City. It was planned in the style of a sunken, legendary African town. It is beautifully situated and imaginatively decorated. No wonder that Sun City attracts more than 25.000 visitors every day.
