Aruba boasts dozens of restaurants, 11 action-filled casinos and a variety of charming and exciting nightclubs. The evening means deciding between Bermuda shorts and a comfortable pub or formal wear and an elegant evening on the town.

Most of the major hotels offer their own special entertainment nights. Tropical fun, beach barbecues and cocktail parties are always on the menu. Special attractions during these evenings include water ballet, performances by international entertainers, fashion shows, local dance groups, limbo and fire dances, steel bands and the pulsating beat of island music.

For a lively and fun evening, don't miss the bus! Be picked up by a 1957 Ford open air bus painted in bright tropical colors. Enjoy a sunset champagne toast on the beach, dinner in an Aruban home, then get ready paint the town as you hop from one bar to another. If you wish to be a little less mobile, Caribbean music, karaoke and dinner beneath the stars can be enjoyed during an evening at a traditional Aruban home.

With its glittering casinos, this island boasts plenty of opportunities to see the night in style. Try your luck at the roulette tables at the Casablanca Casino, or for the thrill seeker, the Royal Palm Casino plays for the highest stakes in Aruba.

A romantic evening will be had by all as the Jolly Pirate dinner cruise circles the island on an 85-foot, gaffed rigged sailing yacht. Enjoy a frosty pina colada or an iced beer, followed by a gourmet meal as you sail the moonlit waters on this beautiful boat. No pirate ever had it so good!
