Rated as one of Forbes’ Ten Best Casinos, the St. James Club Casino in Antigua proves that bigger is not always better. The casino is a part of St. James Club, a 100 acre, high-end resort that resides on its own private peninsula. The St. James Club Casino is modeled after the Casino de Monte-Carlo, so when you get here be sure to expect the highest in luxury gambling.
The St. James Club Casino hosts approximately 50 gaming machines and 8 tables, making it the smallest of the high-end casinos. However, bigger is not always better, and many casino aficionados have ranked the St. James as the best casino anywhere, due to its small, intimate atmosphere.
The St. James Club Casino is part of the number one ranked resort in the Caribbean, so plan on paying top-price to stay near the casino. Besides the gambling, there are also clubs all over the area and various family activities to indulge in during the day. Once the sun sets, however, it’s time to get into the casino and play hard.
The big draws at St. James Club Casino are Blackjack, Craps and Double-zero Roulette, so get in early if those are your games of choice. No matter what, being a little early is always a benefit as the casino operates from 8 pm to 2 am.
Being part of the resort, the dress code is not as strict as that of other high-end casinos, but guests are expected to dress with “casual elegance,” which suggests at least slacks and a nice polo for men, and a casual dress for women. |
