Visitors searching for Lesotho Sun Casino will now find the property under the name Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino. It is a hilltop casino hotel in Maseru, the country’s capital. A second hotel, Avani Maseru, is the former Maseru Sun. The two properties should not be confused when planning a visit.

Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino
The former Lesotho Sun is now Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino on Hilton Road in Maseru. The operator describes it as the city’s only casino hotel and currently advertises 158 rooms and suites, restaurants, a pool, gym, sauna, spa and meeting facilities. The casino is part of the hotel resort, offering guests a gaming option during their stay.
Our Lesotho Sun guide covers the property’s former name and current Avani branding. The published hotel check-in is 14:00, with checkout at 11:00.
What Happened To Maseru Sun?
The older Maseru Sun name became Avani Maseru Hotel. This is a separate riverside hotel in the capital, not another property called Lesotho Sun. Avani Maseru advertises rooms, restaurants, a pool and events facilities. Its current hotel website mentions an on-site casino, but does not publish a clear current gaming inventory. Visitors planning a casino trip should verify whether gaming is available there before travelling.
See the Maseru Sun historical guide for background and the present hotel identity.
Gambling And Hotel Arrangements
Casino entry requirements, accepted identification, payment methods and trading hours are governed locally. The main Avani Lesotho hotel site does not provide a complete list of slot and table games, so ask the property which games currently operate and whether entry or membership rules apply.
The two Maseru hotels offer different accommodation settings. Compare their location, total room price, included meals and travel requirements before booking.
Travelling To Maseru
Maseru is close to the South African border. Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino estimates a roughly 30-minute trip from Moshoeshoe I International Airport, depending on traffic. Travellers crossing by road should check border hours and passport requirements before leaving.
