Fodor's Expert Review Excelsior Casino

Located in the Holiday Inn Aruba Resort, this is one of the oldest casinos on the island, and unfortunately its age is beginning to show; it stays open until 4 am. Many sections in the common areas are somewhat run-down and the air-filtering system could use an upgrade, but there is still a good selection of standard slots, blackjack, craps, and roulette tables, and the place is usually hopping with locals for daily bingo games. The blackjack tables are known for not hitting "the soft 17."
