I know the big one is closed but is the small one still opened?

yup the key largo casino/restaurant is still opened.

Just drove infron of the casino this morning they started the remodeling process of the Big one!! Have no information of completion.

Thanks guys. Going the day afterThanksgiving. We are going to pretendwe are retired.

Lacabana casino is small and not much too it! Stellaris at Marriott is the best casino on the island on our opinion as frequent gamblers! All others including Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Radison are all small and not much to them but still way better than Lacabana casino.

Oh come on. LaCabana casino is quaint. I do agree that the Marriott is probably the best one.

We like Alhambra

Hello
Well I initially sent a post stating I was going to Aruba, I am now finally going to Aruba this saturday, after much delay for bureaucratic reasons, to begin working as an engineer at the refinery. I was told I will be living on site living quarters.

Just wondering if there are any other Valero workers out there who work on the refinery? If so any tips, words of advice?

From everything I see on the internet and posts here, Aruba is a wonderful place to be! So I look forward to it. THe only thing I am worried about is being away from family and friends for so long. I just hope the housing provided is decent!

any input about living, or working for Valero, in aruba would be wonderful!

Hi Matt from what I know there are about 500 people down here now working for Valero with the overhaul of the refinary. Dont know where they are living, the only other info I have for you the refinary is located on the other side of the island, not in the tourist area, but nothing is really far in Aruba. There is a very nice beach by the refinary though, Baby Beach and some others around there. Well enjoy your time in Aruba and I'am sure you will!!

The casino is planned to be open in February.
