The spirit of Las Vegas is alive in the Virgin Islands, if only at one location. The islands' sole casino captures the essence of high stakes gambling, mixed with a laid back feeling that is unique to the Caribbean.

Unfortunately for those visiting the British Virgin Islands, there are no casinos available. For the Virgin Island's sole source of casino gambling, head over to the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix.

The Carina Bay Casino is located at the Divi Carina Bay Resort and Casino in St. Croix. Popular table games such as Caribbean Stub Poker, Blackjack, Craps, Texas Hold-Em, and Roulette are all available in Virgin Island casinos, along with a few other live tables. Slots and video poker are also well-played. Most live gaming tables have a minimum bet of $5(USD). Visitors may also enjoy live entertainment at the show bar, or grab a snack at the cafe. You must be 21 years-of-age or older to enter the Carina Bay Casino. The casino is open from noon to 4 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and remains open from Friday at noon until Sunday at 6 a.m.

Though there are rumors of more casinos opening in the U.S. Virgin Islands, nothing has been finalized. Meanwhile, there are no plans to open any casinos on the British Islands. Those who are interested in having a variety of casinos to choose from can visit nearby Puerto Rico , where they will find some of the best casinos in the Caribbean at more than 20 locations.
