Palm trees, beautiful beach and some gambling. Where would you go?

My friend wants an island to take her mother and aunt to (80 and 82yrs) that has gambling as they like to do that. They want to gamble and sit under palm trees in the shade at a beach and drink tall cool ones. Any ideas? (four days and they want an island)

Islands with casinos and palm trees:
Aruba
Bonaire
Curacao
Paradise Island (Bahamas)
Freeport (Bahamas)
Antigua
St. Maarten
St. Croix
Turks & Caicos
Puerto Rico

I'm sure there are more, but these are among the most popular ones.

Catalina Island has a casino. Are there any palms?

Don't think the casino on Catalina is for gambling. It's in CA and they only way to gamble in CA is at an Indian casino. The Casino tour people are quick to point out that
the definition of casino refers to a gathering place, not a gambling hall.

We used to enjoy going for long weekends to Paradise Island. It has all the above mentioned requirements, with good food too!
We did not stay at the big hotel where the casino was, we stayed at the end of the island, and took a short drive to the hotel/casino. It is very pretty there and they can go to Nassau and spend a day shopping and lunching.

Thanks everyone! Paradise Island looks like it needs to be looked into.
