As Queensland's very first casino, Jupiters opened in the mid 1980s, and has undergone several rounds of renovations since then. But the latest revamp is possibly its most extensive, as it involves upgrading existing rooms to an ultra-luxe standard, opening new restaurants and bars, creating a new poolside experience and much, much more. Long weekend visit to the Gold Coast and decided to stay at Jupiters, had a few friends recommend Vivo for their pizza so made a booking 3 weeks advance. They were really great with this and so I was very looking forward to the dining experience. The ambience of the restruarant was lovely, upon walking in youre greeted with a large woodfire oven.

Narrowing down the city's culinary champions was no easy task—from north to south, these are 15 of the absolute best Gold Coast restaurants right now.
Yamagen
Surfers Paradise
QT Gold Coast's signature restaurant, Yamagen is a funky izakaya with one of Queensland's largest Japanese whisky collections and some of the most innovative Japanese cuisine you'll ever taste. Behind the expansive bar, you can peer into the glass-enclosed kushiage station; the beating heart of the izakaya where smells and smoke wafts as chefs work over robata grills and binchotan charcoal. Or, nab a spot at the 15-seat sushi bar where you can interact with the chefs and devour plate after plate of omakase (chef's selection of market fresh sushi and sashimi). If you're on the hunt for one of the best restaurants on the Gold Coast, you've found it.
Social Eating House
Broadbeach
Located on glittering Oracle Boulevard, Social Eating House is definitely not somewhere to go for a quick bite, for the simple reason you would not be doing it justice. One of the absolute best restaurants on the Gold Coast, this unassuming and unpretentious two chef-hatted bistro sets a culinary bar that other restaurants can only aspire to. Come for Social Eating House's legendary one-kilo saltbush lamb shoulder, followed by the most exquisite desserts in town and washed down with orgasmic espresso martinis.
Kiyomi
Broadbeach
Spearheaded by celebrated Executive Chef Chase Kojima, Kiyomi is perfection on a plate. Tucked discreetly away on the mezzanine level at The Star Gold Coast, this stylish Japanese eatery is dimly lit, made moodier by the candlelight, dark furnishings and warm wood feature walls. With an adventurous menu including seared scampi with foie gras, Hiramasa Kingfish miso ceviche, binchotan Wagyu and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi platters, all dishes are prepared to look like an edible work of art. Don't know where to start? We recommend passing the reigns over and splashing out on an eight-course degustation—it's the stuff foodie dreams are made of.

The Star Gold Coast (formerly Jupiters Hotel and Casino) is a casino and hotel located in the suburb of Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The casino, which was Queensland's first, is situated next to the Nerang River and is operated by Star Entertainment Group. It opened in February 1986 as Conrad Jupiters. In 2017 it was rebranded as The Star, Gold Coast.[1]
One per cent of the casino's gross gaming revenue is deposited in the Gambling Community Benefit Fund. This fund was established in 1987, supports non-profit community-based groups and is administered by the Government of Queensland.[2]
The seven acre complex includes eight bars, seven restaurants, conference facilities, a ballroom, theatre, health spa and gym. The hotel, with 592 rooms, stands 66 metres (216 feet) and has 21 floors. The complex is governed under the Jupiters Casino Agreement Act.[3]
Theatre[edit]
Jupiters Theatre underwent a $20 million makeover and expansion and re-opened in June, 2012.[4] The redevelopment of the theatre resulted in the capacity more than doubling to accommodate 2,000 seated or 2,300 general admission guests and the theatre viewing experience will be improved through state-of-the-art technologies and architecture.
The theatre redevelopment includes the creation of a balcony level with up to 300 seats, VIP Hospitality rooms for pre- and post-event functions, new bars on the balcony and orchestra level, new toilets on the balcony and orchestra level, purpose built integrated movie projection booth, multi-purpose mechanical thrust stage, the enhancement of disability access to all areas, and increased dressing room space.
In 2008, Jupiters ceased producing shows in-house and now presents international shows such as Mother Africa, ABBA Revival, Burn The Floor, Dance of Desire, and STOMP.
History[edit]
Conrad Jupiters Casino opened on 22 November 1985.[5][6] It was included in the November 2003 merger of Jupiters with Tabcorp[7] In April 2010 it was rebranded as Jupiters Hotel & Casino.[8] In 2011 it became part of Echo Entertainment Group when Tabcorp listed its casino assets.
Jupiters Hotel & Casino made headlines in 1995 when then Brisbane Broncos Rugby League player Julian O'Neill urinated on the carpet under a black jack table on two separate occasions.[9] Both Jupiters Hotel & Casino and the Treasury Casino in Brisbane were used for money laundering by welfare recipients on behalf of organised crime syndicates, from May 2006 to November 2007.
Between 1993 and 2001, the casino was defrauded of $5.7 million when corrupt casino staff and food suppliers fabricated food orders and invoices. In 2009, a court heard that senior management tried to prevent a proper investigation and that the police major fraud squad became involved in 2003.[10]
In 2008, security staff at the casino and other venues took part in a trial of head mounted cameras which were worn over the ear. The devices were used to record video and audio evidence of incidents and raised privacy concerns due to a lack of laws regarding their use.[11] In 2009, Office of Gaming acting executive director Barry Grimes criticised the casino's internal controls and procedures relating to excluded persons gaining entry to the casino.[12]
2006 renovations[edit]
The complex underwent renovations in 2006. $53 million was spent on refurbishment of the casino.[13] The two gaming floors are now one and the size is just over double of what it was. Level Two became the brand new Gold Club room. A new restaurant, balconies, and two new bars were included in the renovation. By 2008, 442 of the hotel rooms were completely refurbished at the cost of $16 million.[13] The hotel front office and lobby bar were also renovated.
2017 expansion[edit]
Italian Restaurant Jupiters Casino Gold Coast
In August 2015, work commenced on a $345 million redevelopment of the casino including the construction of a 17 storey tower.[6][14]
