2,200-room Baha Mar development in The Bahamas – Image: Baha Mar

After an amazing tour of the new Nassau Lynden Pindling International Airport, we took the brief drive to the new Baha Mar development.  As I mentioned in a prior installation, Baha Mar is a massive $3.5 billion development project which, when completed, will add nearly 25% capacity to Nassau’s lodging – all of it high-end.  It seeks to compete not only with the “destination” resort on The Bahamas (Atlantis) but with the likes of Las Vegas.

The complex is a massive undertaking, with thousands of  workers on-site and the majority of the project is financially backed by Chinese investors.  Included in the development is a giant casino, high-end restaurants, a Jack Nicklaus golf course, and many other luxury touches.

BONUS: Part 1 of my trip to The Bahamas, which included the journey there and my amazing first night welcome.

Although getting a status update on the progress of the Baha Mar, I was also excited to get a tour of other must-see-things in Nassau.
