2003  Aruba

I visited Aruba for a week again this year.   Besides the relaxing on the beach, sightseeing and experiencing the general flare of the islands, I attempted to visit as many casinos as possible and to acquire chips.  Being a true "chipper", this is a MUST when visiting islands that have gaming.


a successful harvest.

The Sonesta Resort in downtown Orangestad is now the Renaissance Resort. Chips are the still the same and none of the dealers or cage people knew anything about when or if they are changing.


Crystal Casino, Renaissance Resort

The casinos all open at different times, most in the evening, with the exception of the two casinos downtown: Cyrstal and Seaport Casinos.


Seaport Casino

In Aruba, there are craps tables so no problem getting plenty of chips... as long as you're there at night.


Royal Cabana Casino at La Cabana Resort


Town square downtown



I love taking sunset pictures.
