The things you find…

While Hurricane Sandy passed by, I decided it was a good time to do some organization of my files. While working through various drawers, cabinets, and boxes, I discovered a few trinkets. One of them was this casino chip from the Hyatt in Aruba.

$1 chip from the Hyatt in Aruba.

This chip has to be about 10 years old. I haven’t gambled in a casino for that many years. Not sure why I saved it, probably as a reminder that casinos aren’t built by the winners. Hey, good luck!

Casino Facelift

The Alhambra Casino in Aruba has been undergoing some major renovations. The exterior facelift is well underway as you can see from the photo below.

Looks like it’s going to be a brand new drive-through, perfect for the high rollers’ limousines. The parking lot has been expanded, too, with better access to the main road. The Alhambra Casino is mentioned in my upcoming novel that takes place on the island. I’ll keep you posted on the release and more progress at this famous place in Aruba.
