Where: West Bay Street at Cable Beach; (242) 327-6200

Number of rooms: 850
Cost of rooms: $120 to $169

Wyndham Nassau
Atlantis at Paradise Island

Nassau
Atlantis at Paradise Island Resort & Casino
Just plain massive in every way--depending on your perspective, either a one-stop shop for all things amusing, or a giant black hole of entertainment from which there is no escape
Where: Casino Drive; (800) 722-7466
Draws: The mythology and water-themed complexes make Atlantis nice for kids and families
Bummers: The size of this sprawling resort has led to complaints of impersonal or inept service

Freeport
Crowne Plaza Golf Resort & Royal Oasis Casino
Like a water park that happens to be a hotel, featuring three swimming pools (including a beach lagoon pool), two waterslides, a three story waterfall and swim-up bar
Where: Sunrise Hwy. & West Mall Dr., F42623; (242) 350-7000
Draws: Three-meal-day food plans are available for as little as $55

Casino size: 28,000 sq. ft.
Number of rooms: 1,008
Cost of rooms: $102 to $260

Actually three hotels wrapped up into one friendly, well placed resort, ranging from the quiet Lighthouse Pointe to the more raucous Westin Breakers Cay

Bummers: Some of the rooms have rather, um, loud decor
