We found none of the high-tension that vibrates around Las Vegas, for example. Like the island, the casinos are pretty laid back. The rules of the games are available at a government inspector's desk located at the entrance to each casino. And for those who just like to have fun, there are nickle slots and video poker machines. Aruba offers other ways to spend money, too, like shopping.
Jewelry is what most shoppers head for.
As on other Caribbean islands, you can find some excellent buys in gold chains, Rolex and other ultra-upscale watches, and fine crystal. There is even a Little Switzerland store in Oranjestad. This quality establishment, famous throughout the Caribbean, stands behind its merchandise and offers substantial savings at duty-free prices.
