Travelers to destinations in the Bahamas, in addition to enjoying
the many fascinating activities offered by the islands, ranging
from the traditional attractions of sun, sand and surf to the
culture attractions of museums and historical sight to the simply
amazing zoos and aquariums, have the opportunity to enjoy a vibrant
nightlife in the company of an international mix of tourists and
residence. There's always something interesting to do or to see
in the nightlife scene of the Bahamas.
The Wyndham Nassau Resort and Crystal Palace Casino is one of
the largest casinos in the Bahamas. It features all of the casino
favorites, including more than 700 slot machines and 51 blackjack
tables. Visitors can also try their luck at the roulette wheels
and the craps tables, and there is even a baccarat table for those
so inclined. There's a theater with an 800-person capacity, with
a variety of entertainment offered through the week.
There are two other major casinos in the Bahamas. These are the
Atlantis Paradise Island Resort and Casino and the Crowne Plaza
Golf Resort and Casino at the Royal Oasis in Freeport While opinion
varies as to which of the three are the best, most people do manage
to try out all three.
However, nightlife in the bahamas isn't just about gambling the
night away in the glitter and gleam of the casinos. There are
a variety of nightclubs, discos and bars, some open all night
long.
One of the all-nighters is Club Waterloo, located on East Bay
Street on New Providence Island. Housed in what was once a grand
colonial mansion, there is one main bar, and five smaller bars.
Each of the smaller bars has its own specialty and style. Among
these smaller bars is Shooters Sports Bar, a Bicardi Bar, which
is self-explanatory, and an outdoor, poolside bar. The cover charge
is high, up to $30 on weekend nights, but in reality, you'll rarely
pay that much. Many taxi drivers sell what are called visitors'
passes that reduce the cover charge to a much smaller $5. This
spot attracts a mixed crowd that typically includes locals and
vacationers from Europe and the Americas.
Club 601 is another all-night spot on new Providence Island. It
is a disco, and the music is usually of an international flavor,
just like the crowd it attracts nightly. Other nightlife favorites
in the bahamas include the Blue Bee Bar on Great Abaco Island
and Senor Frog's at the British Colonial Hilton, at 1 Bay Street
in Nassau, New Providence Island. Senor Frog's tends to attract
a young and energetic crown, though people of all ages enjoy the
karaoke nights.
As in most of the most popular vacation destination, the nightlife
scene in the bahamas is interesting, exciting and active. You
are sure to have a good time if you exercise a bit of common sense,
caution and courtesy. Whether you choose a quiet bar tucked away
in a lovely island corner, or dance all night at one of the discos
or gamble until the dawn in one of the fabulous casinos, the bahamas
will offer you a memorable nightlife experience.
