El San Juan Resort & Casino
El San Juan boasts an impressive 17,000 square foot gaming floor that features all the gambling essentials. There is a classy atmosphere about the casino which is the same throughout the entire resort.
The casino is not really meant for high rollers, and it mostly features slot machines. There are a couple of table games spread across the floor, so they are usually over-crowded during peak hours. However, you can enjoy free drinks when playing at the casino. The staff are fairly strict on this rule as you actually have to be involved in a game in order to get free drinks.
The casino operates daily (Monday-Sunday) and stays open from 10AM to 5.30AM. Some of the table games like craps, for example, may only open later in the evening. Like casinos in other parts of the world, the slot machines will always be available. The best time to go to the casino is from 9PM because that is when it starts to get busy.
It is also worth mentioning that the main attraction of the casino is the resort itself. El San Juan Resort & Casino has one of the hottest nightclubs in San Juan, called Brava. There are constantly events being hosted at Brava, and it attracts a lot of locals as well as tourists.
