Aruba Casinos

I was in Aruba last week. Here is what I noticed about their casinos.
This is just my unscientific observation of the few casinos I was in.

The casinos are small. I think that all of the casino floor space
combined would equal one Las Vegas casino.

Most have hours. I think there is only one on the island that is open 24
hours a day.

The casinos are stuck off in side rooms in the hotels. You could stay
there for a week and not even know that your hotel has a casino.

The dealers and cocktail servers are not friendly; they are all business
like LV pit bosses. The pit bosses are even less friendly; they are like
airport security.

Aruba was great for beaches and water sports. When in comes to
restaurants, shows, and especially casinos, I'd rather be in Vegas.

I don't know. I played craps and VP. Craps paid only double on a 12 field
bet. VP payout was low but not as bad as cruise ships.

Crystal Cruises dealers are OK. Their casino is run by Caesars Palace.
