Grand Ho Tram Strip
Vietnam · Single large gaming floor within a beachfront resort complex
Location & Facilities
Grand Ho Tram Strip is a beachfront integrated resort in Ho Tram, in Vietnam’s Ba Ria–Vung Tau province — a coastal setting that stands apart from the urban Cotai/Entertainment City model or Genting’s highland retreat. The resort combines a casino, golf course, beach access, and hotel accommodation, positioned more as a multi-day resort destination than a quick gaming stop.
Gaming Floor
The property runs a single large gaming floor with the standard mix of table games and slot machines. Because it draws a smaller volume of visitors than the dense strips in Macau or Manila, the floor tends to feel considerably less crowded — a genuine point of difference for players who find the bigger destinations overwhelming.
Entry Requirements
Visitors must be 21 or older. Vietnamese law generally restricts casino gambling access to foreign passport holders; Vietnamese nationals are barred from most casinos in the country, including this one, outside of limited pilot programs elsewhere in Vietnam. A passport is the standard entry document for foreign visitors.
Getting There
There’s no major airport or rail link directly at Ho Tram — the standard route is a 2 to 3 hour road transfer from Ho Chi Minh City, typically via resort shuttle bus service or a private transfer. That transfer time is worth factoring into trip planning; this isn’t a same-day add-on to a Ho Chi Minh City itinerary the way an urban casino resort might be.
Verdict
Grand Ho Tram Strip suits travelers who want a beach resort with a genuine casino attached rather than an urban gaming-first destination — the golf course and lower crowd density are real advantages if that’s the trip you’re planning. Budget the road transfer time realistically, and note the foreign-visitor-only access rule if your travel party includes Vietnamese nationals.
