Oasis Casino is part of the Embassy Suites Puerto Rico Hotel, which was once managed by the Hilton Hotels & Resorts group. However, the casino and its hotel were recently purchased by Eagle Hospitality. The hotel and casino are located in Isla Verde in the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan. This area of the city is famous for its vacation resorts, hotels and casinos with a relaxed atmosphere.
Being located in the capital means it is easy to travel to and from the casino once you arrive in Puerto Rico. Unless you are arriving from a local area, the nearest airport is Luis Munoz Marin International, and it will take about 10 minutes to drive to the casino.
For transportation, you have the choice of bus, taxi, or car rental. Taking the bus is the cheapest option, but if you aren’t keen to wait for the bus, the taxi station is located just outside the airport. If you take a taxi, expect to pay at least $15 to get to the Oasis Casino. Alternatively, you can choose to rent a car.
The location of Oasis Casino is also ideal if you want to go somewhere different than the beach, there are some amazing national parks on the island which offer relaxing walks and breath-taking views, such as El Yunque National Park, located 30 minutes away.
You will need to be 18+ to gamble and drink, and you will be required to provide a valid proof of identity if requested. The only other stipulation is the dress code, which is semi-formal and guests are encouraged to take other guests into account when deciding on what to wear.
