Official Statement – Casino Shangri La Tbilisi

On September 18, Shangri La Tbilisi Casino celebrated its anniversary with an evening that perfectly combined elegance, music, and entertainment. As one of the most recognized casinos in Tbilisi, Shangri La brought together friends, partners, and international guests for a night filled with unforgettable experiences.

The event opened with a warm welcome: guests enjoyed a festive reception with fine drinks and a beautifully presented buffet, followed by live photo and video coverage that captured the vibrant atmosphere from the very start. The celebration continued with creative performances, including immersive street theater and aerial acrobatics, proving once again why Shangri La is a leader in premium entertainment in Georgia.

Helen Keane, General Manager of Shangri La Tbilisi, highlighted the significance of the evening: “It was a wonderful evening, full of energy and joy. Our guests enjoyed a spectacular program — from live performances to unique artistic moments at the entrance. The warm atmosphere and many kind words we received are the best reward for our team.”

One of the highlights of the night was the live ABBA tribute concert made by ABBIA band, which filled the hall with energy and excitement. Combined with a dynamic dance show, it created an atmosphere of international celebration and positioned Shangri La not only as a casino in Georgia, but also as a cultural hub where music, gastronomy, and hospitality come together.

The celebration also reflected a broader trend in the gaming world: casinos are increasingly seen as part of the entertainment and hospitality industry. As Keane explained, guests now view Shangri La in the same way they view concerts, fine dining, or live theater — as a place to enjoy emotions, atmosphere, and memorable experiences.

For Shangri La Tbilisi, the anniversary was not only a milestone, but also a statement of its ongoing commitment to excellence. The evening underlined the brand’s philosophy of balancing luxury with responsibility, offering guests world-class service while ensuring trust, safety, and hospitality.

With its mix of gaming, fine dining, and live shows, Shangri La continues to set the standard for entertainment in Tbilisi and remains one of the city’s most vibrant destinations. Guests left the celebration with unforgettable memories, confirming once again that Shangri La is truly “the biggest game in town.”

The spirit of adventure and teamwork recently soared to new heights as the Shangri La Tbilisi team embarked on an exhilarating hike from Juta in the Kazbegi region to Roshka in Khevsureti. This journey, which they had been planning for some time, took place on June 27th and showcased both their dedication and the stunning beauty of Georgia’s mountainous regions.

Starting at an elevation of 2,200 meters, the team ascended to a breathtaking 3,240 meters, covering a challenging 18 kilometers. The trek was filled with camaraderie, breathtaking views, and a profound sense of accomplishment as they traversed the rugged terrain together.

The highlight of the journey was proudly displaying the Shangri La logo upon reaching Roshka, symbolizing not only their physical achievement but also their unity and spirit. This adventure not only strengthened their bonds but also provided a memorable experience that highlighted the remarkable beauty of Georgia’s landscapes.

Shangri La, with its mountain-inspired logo, perfectly encapsulates the essence of reaching new heights, both literally and figuratively. This hike was a testament to the team’s determination and the enduring allure of adventure.

“We sincerely thank the Shangri La Tbilisi team for their excellent idea, teamwork and dedication. You guys are great, I wish you to climb even higher and reach new peaks together” – said Helen Keane, General Manager of Shangri La Tbilisi, with words of gratitude.

The Shangri La Casino Tbilisi team proudly took part in the annual Tbilisi Marathon on 28 September 2025, joining hundreds of runners in one of the city’s most inspiring sporting events.

Our participants demonstrated remarkable endurance and determination on the 10 kilometre course. The best result among the Shangri La runners was an impressive 48 minutes and 42 seconds, followed closely by other teammates finishing within 51 minutes, a strong showing that placed our team among the top finishers in the corporate group.

Female colleagues also completed the distance with spirit and consistency, crossing the finish line between 1 hour 17 minutes and 1 hour 25 minutes, proving that perseverance and teamwork matter as much as speed.

“The Tbilisi Marathon perfectly reflects the values we live by at Shangri La: discipline, resilience and the drive to move forward together,” said Helen Keane, General Manager of Shangri La Casino Tbilisi. “We are proud of our colleagues who represented the company with such energy and passion.”

Participation in the marathon once again underlined the company’s belief in a healthy work and life balance and its commitment to supporting employees in achieving both personal and professional goals.
