Crown Melbourne is a huge entertainment place in Melbourne, Australia. It's also known as the Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex. You can find it right on the south bank of the Yarra River. It's part of a bigger company called Crown Limited and was the very first place opened by the Crown brand.
Crown Melbourne first opened its doors in 1994 on the north side of the Yarra River. Later, in 1997, it moved to its current spot on the south bank. It's now a major part of the Southbank area in Melbourne's city center. The whole complex is super big, covering an area of 510,000 square meters. That's like two whole city blocks! This makes it the largest entertainment complex of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the biggest in the world.
