The reason the Shango posts piqued my interest (aka pricked up the 'ol ears LOL) was his insistance to "follow the music". I googled Aruba Palace, found the lyrics to an old song about Raving at the Aruba Palace, googled and found that this was the name of a casino at the Aruba Americana Hotel, found that Americana and it's Palace Casino existed right smack next door to the Wyndham (Old Hilton) and that Americana was an "OLD" Hotel as well since it is currently The Occidental Allegro. Back to square one and BINGO!
