Just showing off some recently acquired casino stuff from Aruba:

From the new Glitz Casino at the La Cabana (this is a new location for a casino):

I see that the players card is emerald. I assume there are different tiers, like with many Las Vegas players cards. No playing cards yet, but hopefully by April, when a good buddy of mine goes....hint, hint.

From the Trop Club Casino:

I had the Green level players card before, but not the platinum. I believe there is a third tier, but don't have one.

From the Copa Cabana Casino at the Hyatt Regency:

The players card is very similar to the last known version, but there is no Copa Cabana logo on the front and only a black and white Hyatt Regency logo on the back. I have one to trade for a card with the Copa Cabana Casino logo on the front.

The Alhambra:

I really like that card!

This is not new, but new to me, from the Cool Casino:

I was surprised to see that the Excelsior card is exactly like the last one I got from there, which I picked up myself in 2006. The Aura and Radisson cards have not changed from last year.

If anyone else out there collects Aruba players cards and especially playing cards, I have traders (but not of the stuff above, for the most part). Let's trade.
