Poker in Aruba

Quercus · #1 07-25-2005, 01:13 AM

Trying to find a vacation locale where I can play poker that will be fun for the wife as well (sadly, she's not a huge poker fan).

Has anyone played in Aruba? (Assuming poker is played outside the WPT tourny).

At the risk of stating the obvious -- what about Vegas. My wife doesn't gamble AT ALL, and she loves it. She lounges by the pool in the morning. Takes a spa treatment or shops in the mid afternoon. (It's a challenge to win enough to cover these expenses, but hey, it's vacation).

Of course I have to take a break from playing for dinner or a show. But that's ok.

Anyway, she views it as Disneyland for adults and loves it.

Seriously, I think the availability of poker games is a bad reason to choose a vacation spot. You can play poker on the internet anytime you want.

Perhaps live poker is a rare treat for him, and he wants to play some poker on his time off this year.

Go to vegas, your wife will enjoy it as long as you got some $$.
