ATLANTIS-BAHAMAS-CARIBBEAN POKER CLASSIC & MORE/ PAST-PRESENT

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hello to all ,

Vacation time with some poker in the mix , So I went with my kids to Atlantis in Bahamas to play in the WPT -Caribbean Poker classic back in 2005. Great place to vacation . One of the best water slide parks around, plus amazing live fish tanks , including sharks, and sea life habitat . It has a Casino and the beach , jets skiing plus its great for kids .. Bonus swimming with the Dolphins..

Wow...seeing these pictures is like a blast from the past!

Hi J - BIG thanks for your support on my post - really appreciated!

Hope you always get all the aces :D

pretty good! Congrats! :)

I am!!! Do I need a passport for this??! Interesting in going!

You don't need a passport to get into the Bahamas from USA as long as your getting there by a cruise or private boat or private plane .Then a drivers license will work . Most of USA citizens go by commercial airline though .. The airline will require a passport so they can be sure you will get back into USA on return flight .So in short you likely will need one if traveling commercial air line ..

Got it thank you!

to cruise to bahamas, if you dont have a passport, another form of proof of US citizenship is needed like a birth certificate. Always check with the cruiselines first before buying, some are more strict than others.

Man do I wish. Still playing the local clubs x)

Local clubs have some great games ,, Thanks for the reply

I remember going there as a child, it was a great time. Alot of fun!
