Literally everything you need to know about the Diamond Casino & Resort in Los Santos.
The Diamond Casino & Resort update for GTA Online is one of the most significant and content-rich additions to the game yet. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to make the most of your time at the Diamond. We'll cover how to gain access to the casino, the co-op and casino work missions, all the ways you can gamble and win big, the customizable penthouse that can become your new home, hidden collectibles to discover, and the sleek new vehicles that can be yours.
We also have a guide to the Diamond Casino Heist.
Gaining Access To The Diamond Casino
Like most DLCs since Further Adventures in Finance and Felony, to actually access the new content at the Diamond Casino you'll need to make an initial investment of sorts.
Previously, this involved buying specific properties like offices or bunkers, but you can't buy the Diamond Casino this time around, no matter how many Shark Cards you've splurged on. Instead, players must buy memberships which give them access to the gambling opportunities at the Casino.
Standard Diamond memberships don't cost too much, but they also come with limited perks — you can only access the casino portion of the Diamond and even then, not all gambling activities. You will gain access to the Diamond's garage though, allowing you to store one car.
Instead, to access the Resort, the high-limit tables and more, you'll need a VIP membership, which is significantly more expensive.
This membership nets you a fancy penthouse which you can customize to your heart's desire, including with a personal spa, partying area, roof garden access, exquisite artworks and more. You'll also have the opportunity to try your luck as a real high-roller at the high-limit tables in the Diamond Casino, and insert coins again and again at the retro arcade.
