Divi Carina Bay Casino

Real excitement greeted the official opening of the Divi Ca-
rina Bay Resort and its casino. The hotels along beautiful
Grapetree Bay were destroyed by Hurricane Hugo and
never rebuilt. For years, rumors flew that a new hotel and
the Virgin Islands' first casino would open here. While it
took longer than most expected, the reality seems worth the
wait. The modern bi-level casino is across Route 80 from the
hotel. The gaming tables, on the second level, include black-
jack, craps, stud poker, roulette wheels and scores of slot ma-
chines. The Mongoose Lounge, also on the gaming floor, has
a bar, some food and live entertainment. You do not need a
passport, but you will need some form of ID on your first
visit when you receive an entry cart good for your entire stay.
There is plenty of parking. Open Mon-Fri, noon-4 am. Sat,
Sun and holidays, noon-6 am.
