For encounters of a different kind,
venture east and cross the bridge from
the town of Nassau to "Paradise," with resorts, casinos and exciting
nightlife. Its transformation is not unlike Cinderella's putting on the glass
slipper. For years the island stood completely undeveloped, its beaches and
tropical splendor unnoticed by the world. Suddenly, with the addition of
luxurious hotels and a sparkling casino, it was transformed into one of the
most glamorous and celebrated resort centers in the world, combining
exclusive tranquility and lots of action. Reclusive millionaire Howard
Hughes and the former Shah of Iran are among those who have found refuge
here. |
