Known for having one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in the islands, St Maarten boasts talented musicians, upbeat bars, and energetic clubs where patrons dance with the abandon of vacation revelers. Although regulars hang out at favorite spots throughout the week, the island's tendency is for particular venues to host special nights. That way, perennial club goers take in new scenery, and visitors get a taste of fashionable spots across the island. Many of the best places operate as restaurants during the day and transform into social arenas come evening, making the transition from dinner to drinks an easy one. Casinos also take their place among the entertainment opportunities; all of them can be found on the Dutch portion of the island.
