Casino closest to Amsterdam Manor

How far away is the closest casino from Amsterdam Manor? A walk? A bus ride? Just curious as I'm sure we'll hit a casino or two at some point...

The closest is the Key Largo casino at LaCabana (next door to AM). Its very very small but we like it as we go to LaCabana and its only steps from our back door. And yes its walking distance. Obviously you can jump on the bus and be to any of the other ones within 15 minutes (Alhambra by the Bucuti or down to Palm Beach where there are casinos in each hotel) Even a bus ride into "town" to go to Crystal Casino or Seaport Casino will only take 1/2 hour or less depending on how many places it stops!

Hi, the closest one is indeed the Key Largo at the Aruban Resort. You could otherwise also go to the casino at the Westin Resort or to the Alhambra Casino.

Salsa Greetings,

Does anyone know when the new casino will be reopening? The one with the mirrored windows?

The food at the Key Largo is very good and very reasonably priced. Have a great vacation.

If you are asking about Royal Cabana Casino by La Cabana it will be awhile before it's finished. When I was last at Key Largo Casino (next to Royal Cabana) in the beginning of Oct. I was told it would be ready in August. From what I have heard it's almost at a still still right now.

Darn - thanks Liz! I was hoping to be able to have a change of scenery in March, but I guess not.

How small is that other casino at La Cabana (Key Largo)? Or, I should ask, what other resort casino would you compare it to in size?

The Stellaris at Marriott is in our opinion the very best casino on the island, larger and newest games in comparison to other resorts and hotels. We gamble wherever we go in the world and feel confident identifying the best place in Aruba but nothing to say you wont enjoy the other many casinos. Greg & Susan

The Marriot and Hyatt are our favorite casinos in Aruba. I was hoping to check some others out since we are on Eagle Beach this year. The Alhambra, IMO, wasn't that great.
