Have you met many famous and/or interesting people that have visited the casino? If so who? What, if any, memorable moments do you have of that time?
We had the honour to host many famous soccer players from the Netherlands, as well as celebrities from the USA. On an annual basis we support and sponsor several music festivals, such as Soul Beach Music Festival, Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival and Summer Festival that bring many celebrities to the destination.
