The sports cars came to a screeching stop in front of Casino de Monte-Carlo. Two valets hustled down the stairs, greeted the honored guests with a slight bow, and discreetly pocketed a fistful of euros. The drivers resembled models dressed for a GQ magazine cover story. Since 1869, the Casino de Monte-Carlo has generated so much money for the Principality of Monaco that the ruling Grimaldis stopped taxation. This action made Monte Carlo a tax haven for the rich. Ironically, residents are not allowed inside the casino. You must present a foreign passport to gain entry.
