I went to Vegas-like holiday resort in Europe with glamorous concierges, adventure parks & island's biggest pool complex
SLOT machines flash and jingle as I soak up the atmosphere at the City of Dreams Mediterranean in Cyprus. This vast five-star resort features a super-casino, restaurants, bars entertainment and 500 hotel rooms — and is the first of its kind in Europe allowing guests to roll the dice after a dip in one of its many pools.

If my two nights at the resort, near Limassol, were any indication, they are well on their way. Stepping inside, I was struck by the obvious luxury — guests are welcomed into a grand marble lobby lined with designer shops. Within seconds a glamorous concierge appears with a hot towel for your hands as a bellboy collects your bags.

Decorated in pine tones, my room felt like my very own Nordic spa with a massive tub, separate shower room, and a huge bed with pillows I melted into. The showstopper was the view from the balcony looking across the resort — the largest pool complex in Cyprus and a mecca for families and big kids like me. As well as the sparkling multiple pools surrounded by palm trees for shade, water slides and rapids there's a dedicated adventure park that will keep even the fussiest child happy. Advertisement Most read in News Travel It features an 18-hole miniature golf course, zip-line coaster, climbing wall, high ropes obstacle courses and a huge playground. The resort's Kids' City is open every day from 10am to 8pm with supervised activities for four to 12-year-olds and by night there are movie and theatre evenings with free popcorn. All the free activities Cyprus has to offer For those seeking a different type of thrill there is of course the casino. While Mum and Dad enjoy a flutter, a gaming room offers snooker and retro arcade favourites like Pac-Man and table hockey. Large sofas face wall-mounted TVs with gaming consoles on hand to keep the teenagers busy. A short drive away from the hotel are sandy beaches and the vibrant city of Limassol with its regenerated marina and lavish yachts bobbing in the waters. Advertisement Arming myself with a coffee from Paul bakery, I walked along a boulevard of chic cafes and restaurants you would see on any posh British high street — Jamie Oliver's, a Wagamama, and multiple Greek tavernas. From there it's an easy stroll into the old town along cobbled streets that lead to Kolossi Castle. In the Middle Ages, Cyprus was a target for Crusader campaigns to the Holy Land, and this 15th-century fortress is filled with treasures from the time. Exhibits of ancient pottery, oil lamps and coins from Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman eras are on display in the great hall. I found myself marvelling at tombstones bearing intricate carvings of Crusader knights and ancient symbols. Advertisement In the belly of the castle is an even older underground chapel which is dark, windowless and quiet. It was here that King Richard I (Richard the Lionheart) married Berengaria of Navarre. I felt time stop for a moment, and could picture the bride and groom standing next to the very stones of the ancient altar in this peaceful underground grotto. Stunning frescoes Amazingly you can taste the oldest wine in the world that was served at King Richard's wedding, called Commandaria, on a visit to the village of Agios Konstantinos. The excursion can be arranged at the City of Dreams Mediterranean hotel's front desk. Another must-do trip is to the charming village of Omodos, in the heart of the Troodos Mountains. Advertisement Renowned for its traditional stone houses, Omodos is a picturesque spot and at its centre lies Timios Stavros Monastery, which dates back to the early 1800s. The preserved Byzantine church is filled with wood carvings and stunning frescoes. After a day spent exploring Cyprus's history, or enjoying the adrenalin rush of the casino, the City of Dreams Mediterranean's cave-like spa is the perfect spot to rest weary feet. This was my favourite place and I could feel my muscles immediately relax in the sauna, before booking myself in for a massage. Advertisement With entertainment and relaxation options nailed down at the hotel, I couldn't wait for dinner at one of the four restaurants. As well as a buffet, there are three speciality restaurants serving French, Asian and Mediterranean cuisine. 3 Try your luck on the resort's banks of slot machines Credit: Supplied The Amber Dragon, sibling of a two-star Michelin venue in Macau, serves up sushi and sashimi, dim sum and stir-fried classics as well as the best BBQ roasted duck I'd ever tasted. A chef prepared shreds of the mouthwatering bird in front of us as little baskets of pancakes and dishes of greens were laid out — I was in food heaven. Advertisement Next up were the divine Shanghai dumplings that melted into a little soup, while dessert was a golden dumpling treat that resembled an ice-cream Scotch egg. Afterwards I headed to the casino's roulette table. I was hoping it was my lucky night! GO: CYPRUS GETTING/STAYING THERE: Seven nights' B&B at the 5H City of Dreams Mediterranean is from £1,576pp including flights from Stansted, or £1,613pp with flights from Manchester as well as 22kg baggage, 10kg hand luggage and private transfers.

Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais sums up Manchester Oasis gig with one word
Oasis legends Noel and Liam Gallagher finally reunited on stage last night, performing together for the first time in 16 years in their hometown - and Noel's daughter watched on proudly The Gallagher brothers and Oasis fans had a night to remember as the band reunited in their hometown, 16 years after their split. The monumental evening saw Liam and Noel Gallagher perform before nearly 80,000 devoted fans alongside bandmates Bonehead, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker. Fireworks lit up the sky as fans sang along passionately, with several celebrities also in attendance. Among the crowd were many of the band's loved ones, including Noel's daughter Anais. The 25-year-old model and photographer has been openly excited about the tour, regularly updating her social media followers. Anais, who has previously modelled for Dolce and Gabbana, attended the tour's first show in Cardiff last week at the Principality Stadium. On Instagram, she expressed her joy at being back, donning an Oasis T-shirt and raising a drink in celebration. Continuing to follow her father on his tour, Anais was amazed by the Manchester crowds last night. She shared a stunning video of the electrifying night on her Instagram story, showcasing the spectacular fireworks display behind the stage. Anais summed up the show in one word: "Magic". She added: "Manchester, you are magic." In another snippet from the night, the proud daughter captured Noel passionately playing an electric guitar. "My dad's the coolest," she declared. Anais has made a sweet cameo on the tracks as well, with a youthful voice chiming in "that's rock and roll baby". Anais, who is currently dating It's A Sin heartthrob Callum Scott Howells, giggled in confirmation that those were indeed her words spoken at seven. She's also expected to be in attendance at tonight's gig at Heaton Park. Just last night, Noel paid an emotional homage to The Royle Family's Caroline Aherne during his performance. Before launching into 'Half the World Away', Noel took to the mic, stating solemnly: "This one is for Caroline." When are Oasis next performing? After tonight's shop, the band is due for a brief respite until they hit the stage in Manchester once more starting Wednesday, July 16, and then again on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. With July nearing its end and August on the horizon, Oasis is set to grace Wembley Stadium, London, for a string of shows. They'll light up the venue on July 25 and 26, heat things up further on July 30, and carry the torch through August 2 and 3. Afterwards, Oasis will take their tunes north, heading to Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for a trio of performances before setting off across the pond to the US.
