The Castle Harbour Harbour Casino's coins portray a distinctly British motif - a lion on top of the shield. On the shield the playing card symbols diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades appears. Hotel guests receive $5 worth of these coins as a complimentary gift each night of their stay.

Small and informal, the Castle Harbour Hotel has only 48 rooms. It sits at the crest of a hill overlooking the capital city of St. John's and the deepwater harbor below. The hotel also operators a club nearby that provides tennis, golf, fishing, skin diving, water skiing and sailing for its guests. A well-appointed restaurant featuring West Indian and Continental cuisine and a small, intimate night club are integrated with the Casino.

Columbus discovered the island of Antigua in 1493, during his second voyage to the New World. In 1632 it became a British possession. Today it is an independent national state associated with the United Kingdom.

Visitors to Antigua enjoy duty-free shopping for such items as cameras, Swiss watches, French perfumes, crystal, porcelain and bone china, fine jewelry and liquor.

The newly built Coolidge International Airport that serves Antigua is visited by planes of Eastern, BWIA, Air Canada, British Airways, LIAT and Prinair. Antigua is also a favorite port of call for cruise ship passengers traveling by the major line operating out of New York and Miami. The Antigua tourist season reaches its peak around the Christmas and New Year holidays.
