Construcția a inceput in anul 1912 sub conducerea arhitectului Petre Antonescu si a fost terminată un an mai tarziu. Principalul acționar al cazinoului a fost Baron de Marçay, acelasi acționar si la cazinoul din Monte Carlo. Inaugurarea cazinoului s-a facut in prezenta familiei regale si a primului ministru Titu Maiorescu. Alexandru Davila a organizat un spectacol deosebit cu focuri de artificii si trupe straine iar George Enescu a sustinut un concert. Cazinoul a devenit o atracție majoră între cele 2 războaie mondiale.La cazino lucrau 120 de crupieri si o armata de chelneri, majordomi, dame de companie la comanda, florarese, garderobieri cu totii facand tot posibilul ca jucatorii sa se simta bine si sa cheltuiasca multi, foarte multi bani. In sala Dimitrie Ghika denumita si 'sala cu struguri', erau servite jucatorilor icre negre si sampanie frantuzeasca iar orhestra interpreta fie valsuri de Strauss fie piese celebre de jazz. Aici au cantat de nenumarate ori Maria Tanase si Gica Petrescu.Initial cazinoul a fost proprietatea Eforiei Spitalelor si a Primariei orasului Sinaia carora le-a adus mari venituri. In timpul celui de al doilea razboi mondial cazinoul a fost inchis dar a fost gazda Crucii Rosii care a adapostit aici refugiati politici. A fost redeschis in seara de Craciun a anului 1944 dar a functionat fara stralucire pana in 1947 cand, Gh. Gheorghiu Dej considerandu-l un simbol al decadentei capitaliste, l-a inchis. În prioada comunista ca si la Peles si Pelisor s-a furat cu sacul, caruta sau camionul, tot ce se putea fura. Astazi se afla in proprietatea Consiliului Local si a devenit un centru de conferințe internaționale, iar 12 sali sunt inchiriate pentru evenimente publice din cele mai diverse domenii (expozitii, conferinte internationale, congrese, concerte, targuri, show-room-uri, vernisaje de carti, cocktail-uri, aniversari de companii, revelioane) sau evenimente private (nunti, botezuri).
