The casinos of the big hotels along Palm Beach often see the most nighttime action. Many remain open into the early-morning hours, and it seems as though each new casino strives to outdo all others, with more neon, more games, more entertainment, more levels, etc. For those not anxious to try their luck at gambling, disco and dancing are also popular on Aruba. The action, mostly on weekends, doesn't really begin until around midnight.
Visitors can find a variety of bars and clubs that offer music, dancing and entertainment.
For a more mellow evening, jazz and piano bars can also be enjoyed at various locales on the island. Tourists interested in seeing a live show can head for the Aladdin Theater , a cabaret theater which puts on a variety of shows, including Broadway musicals. Discerning shoppers can enjoy savings on jewelry, watches, perfumes, cosmetics, china, crystal, linens and designer fashions. And, of course, T-shirt and souvenir shops abound. There are also several major shopping centers downtown, including the Seaport Village Mall, the Harbour Town Market, the Port of Call Market Place, the Holland Aruba Mall and the Strada Shopping Mall.
