I have been seeing ads lately for a day trip from Newark (NJ) airport
to either Nassau or Freeport in the Bahamas.  The cost is $99 + 15%
and there are other restrictions, but it includes rt airfare
(on Bahamasair, a public charter) and transfers to either the
Paradise Isl. Hotel/Casino (Nassau) or the Xanadu Hotel (Freeport).
It seems similar to the Atlantic City bus trips which bring people
to the casinos.

Has anyone either been on or heard anything about these adventures?
Was it worthwhile?  Having never been down there, is there a casino
at the Xanadu Hotel?  If so, and if you have been to both places,
which one is better?

Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.
