Baha Mar Casino claims to be the ‘largest and most luxurious’ in the Caribbean, which gives you some sense of what you’re likely to experience if you head there. Located in the Northern part of the island of Nassau, it is somewhere that bettors on the island are going to want to head to in order to engage in all of their favourite casino activities.
The good news for those of you that like to mix up your betting with some other things is that it is part of a wider resort, promising a choice of hotels and even a water park, so the rest of the family can be given some distractions whilst you see what’s on offer in the casino and join them when you like.
The Casino
Calling yourself the ‘largest and most luxurious casino in the Caribbean’ is a pretty big claim, but it’s one that Baha Mar can live up to. A trip here is unlikely to end in disappointment, with the floor-to-ceiling windows the first thing that will arrest your attention. Outside is the beautiful sparkling turquoise water that surrounds Nassau, along with, on most days, blue sky and some swaying palm trees. Overhead are a decent amount of chandeliers to give the venue its classy and luxurious feel, as do the deep carpets and elegant chairs. For the majority of punters, of course, what the place looks like is the least of their concerns.
Slot Machines
Instead, most bettors heading to the Baha Mar Casino will be interested to know what sort of gambling they can engage in whilst they’re inside. On that front, you’re likely to be just as impressed as when you stare out of those floor-to-ceiling windows. For those of you that enjoy spending time on slot machines, you’ll be delighted to know that there are more than 1,000 of them on offer. That means that you’re almost certain to find the slot game that you enjoy playing the most in amongst the machines that are dotted around the casino floor, plus electronic versions of the table games that you’ll be able to find elsewhere.
Table Gaming
In terms of those table games, there are 18 different ones available, promising you all of the thrills and spills that come with time spent in a casino. Whether you’re a fan of craps or roulette, three-card poker or baccarat, you’re likely to be able to find your favourite game type on offer. The Baha Mar Casino is one that is aimed at all levels of bettor, whether you’re just starting out in the world of the casino game or you consider yourself to be a high-stakes roller. On that front, the Salon Privé is going to offer you the sort of close-up attention that you’ll doubtless have come to expect from the top casinos all around the world.
Sports Betting
For many people who like to place a wager every now and then, it isn’t the casino floor that they enjoy but the chance to have a flutter on some sporting events from around the world. If that’s the category that you fall into then you don’t need to worry, given the fact that the Baha Mar Casino has a sports book from the well-known company William Hill. That allows you to get involved in live sports betting on all of the major action, as well as the chance to place some ante-post wagers if that’s the sort of thing that tickles your fancy. Combined with the rest of the casino floor, you’re unlikely to be disappointed by what’s on offer.
The Resort
The Baha Mar Casino is one of the highlights of a sprawling resort that sees three iconic hotels join together to offer you the perfect holiday destination. Tastes differ from traveller to traveller, even if everyone heading to Nassau is likely to have the same expectations of what they’re going to experience there.
The Grand Hyatt
The Grand Hyatt labels itself as offering a relaxed and modern sense of luxury, celebrating the iconic things that you are likely to expect from the Caribbean. Whether you’re heading there with friends, looking for somewhere to stay with the family or hoping to have a romantic break, the Grand Hyatt has you covered. There are 1,800 guest rooms at the Grand Hyatt, including 230 suites, plus access to the nearby water park.
SLS Baha Mar
If you’re looking for something that little bit elevated then The Reserve at Grand Hyatt will almost certainly have what you’re looking for. There is no question that the Grand Hyatt’s style will appeal to many, but some might be looking for something a little bit more stylish. If that’s you then the high-design accommodations offered by SLS Baha Mar might be more what you’re looking for. Many of the design-forward residences and rooms offer views of Cable Beach, with its perfect sands and beautiful waters.
Rosewood
It is also a smaller hotel than the Grand Hyatt, with less than 300 rooms, suites and residences. If you’re still not convinced then maybe Rosewood will be more your style. It is inspired by the Bahamas’ rich culture, marrying it with first-class service and amenities that are best-described as ‘luxurious’. There are rooms, suites and villas on offer here, with all of them offering private outdoor areas that overlook the sea or the gardens. There are 230 different places you can stay, including some that have butler services on offer, plus there are two resort pools that are exclusively for the use of guests of the Rosewood and no one else.
Waterpark
In terms of the rest of the report, those of you either with youngster or that are just young at heart will be happy to know that your stay in any of the hotels gives you access to the all-new luxury waterpark in the resort, Baha Bay. The beachfront waterpark puts luxury at the top of its agenda, offering a design that it is aimed at fitting in with the beauty that surrounds it. Set over 15 acres, it offers everything from high-adrenaline rides through to a lazy river and wave pool. If you’re a parent that’s happy to take your kids but not all that keen on getting involved in rides then there’s even a nicely laid-out sunbathing area just for you.
Additional Facilities
If waterparks aren’t for you, though, you need not fear; other experiences are on offer in the local area. There are more than 40 top-class restaurants, including the ability to head to The Kitchen and learn from a world-class chef in the ways of Caribbean cooking.
A Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, fitness centre, basketball, croquet and a racquet club, including pickleball, might be more what you’re after if you’re the sporting type. For those keen on an adults-only experience, the Privilege Pool might be just what you’re looking for, whilst the Nexus Club is a members-only experience that was founded by Joe Lewis, Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and Justin Timberlake.
