we stayed at the Royal Islander for the first time and loved being within walking distance to bars and restaurants, as far as mini Las Vegas, not sure what Las Vegas you have been to, but not even close!! Why I would stay there, they check out of the Westin, say at 11:00, arrive at noon wherever they are, they have 24 hours, they can go to Mullet for the afternoon, or stay at the beach at Maho if its there (which its back), but then they don't need to hire a car or taxi, can just walk to dinner, bars, casino if would like and do some shopping, then have a leisurely breakfast and a quick ride to the airport when they decide its time to go, always taxi's sitting waiting. Simple.
