El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America. It is bordered by Guatemala and Honduras, to the west and to the north respectively. It was once a Spanish colony, but it gained independence from Spain in 1821 after the signing of the Acta de Independencia. El Salvador has a history of coup d’etats, but since the last one in 1979, and a signing of a peace treaty by all the major political factors in 1992, the country has shown relative stability and also a reasonably prosperous economy. Although compared to its Central American counterparts, El Salvador could be doing better as Belize, Costa Rica and Panama are outperforming it in terms of development.

The economy of El Salvador has had good times and bad, with corruption being the main problem for the country throughout its history. Through the 1990s, El Salvador’s economy was growing at a steady rate, however by 2012 there had been many subsidies afforded to El Salvador that the country was looking at a collapse that would be disastrous for the country. The economy itself is led first and foremost by the service industry, with the industrial sector and agricultural sector lagging well behind. With such an emphasis placed on El Salvador’s service sector, it is important for the country that their tourism industry is flourishing. Thanks to large scale investment in this sector by the government, the tourism industry is the one shining light in El Salvador’s potentially bleak economic future. Tourists come not only from North America, but from Australasia and Europe to make the most of El Salvador’s beaches and nightlife – the vibrant lifestyle on offer being a lure different to other countries in the region that promote their wildlife and natural beauty over wild days and nights on the beaches and in the nightclubs.

A major part of the nightlife in El Salvador is found in the capital city San Salvador, and it is also where you will find El Salvador’s biggest casino – the Siesta Hotel and Casino, on Boulevard Los Proceres in the heart of the city, close to many transport links.

First and foremost, the Siesta Hotel and Casino is one of the major hotels in the city of San Salvador, and it is a casino second. Like hotels around the world, casinos are seen as a facility for the guests, unlike in Las Vegas where hotels tend to be built around the casinos. However, the Siesta Hotel and Casino, unlike some facilities where the casino is an after-thought, treats the casino well and has built a lot of promotions around it. So even if you are not staying at the Siesta Hotel, you will still feel inclined to pay the casino a visit on a night out on the town.

The casino at the Siesta Hotel and Casino is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and has all the traditional casino games – blackjack and roulette – over four tables, as well as around 100 slot machines. The other main draw to the Siesta Hotel and Casino is bingo. The game of bingo is a huge draw in casinos in Central America. It is essentially the same as keno, but with different payouts and usually a different ball drawing process. It may not look like the most exciting game in the world, but locals love it, and if you get the chance you should try out one of the bigger games and get drawn into the action. The poker room at the Siesta Hotel and Casino is usually busy, as there are regular tournaments being run, and the occasional cash game if the demand is there.

Siesta Hotel and Casino is about quality over quantity. Yes, there may not be a huge selection of table games, but there is usually at least one promotion happening every night, whether it is happy hour at the bar, or there is live music for your entertainment, as well as themed nights for Valentine’s Day and the like. The casino also has a great buffet daily in which they take great pride. And if buffets are not your thing, the hotel also has the restaurant El Balsamo, which offers a more refined dining experience if that is more your thing.
