Divi Carina Bay Casino
(St. Croix;
&
340/773-7529
): At the Divi Carina Bay
Resort, this glittering casino has introduced gambling to the U.S. Virgin Islands for
the first time (if you don't count the island's buccaneering days). Built in the midst
of a raging controversy over gambling, it boasts 12 gaming tables and 275 slot
machines. Even though it's very touristy, the casino has become a hot spot for
locals and visitors alike. See p. 186.
W
Bomba Surfside Shack
(Tortola;
&
284/495-4148
): This is one of the most
famous bars in the West Indies and the most interesting hangout in the British
Virgin Islands. Bomba's decor consists of junk and neon graffiti. The rum punches
are always flowing, and the hippest people in town show up here, especially for the
notorious all-night full-moon parties. See p. 221.
