How we research and review

Sources we use

• The hotel's official website, the-ville.com.au, including its 40th anniversary announcement (May 2026)
• Public encyclopedia and mapping records for the property and its coordinates
• Queensland Government information on casino age limits and responsible gambling
• Photographs from Wikimedia Commons under free licences

What we leave out

We do not publish nightly rates, star ratings, review scores or opening hours. They change too often and only the hotel can guarantee them. Where we give numbers, such as gaming machines or room counts, we say where the number came from.

Independence

We do not receive payment from the hotel, its owners or booking platforms, and there are no affiliate links on this site. External links point to official sources so you can check the facts yourself.

Corrections

If you spot an error or something has changed, email [email protected]. We review corrections within a few working days and update the "last reviewed" date in the footer.

Images

Every image on this site is a real photograph under a free licence, credited under the image and listed on the Image Credits page. Where no free photograph of a specific venue exists, we show a real photograph of the resort or precinct and say what it shows.
