Ecuador casinos are found mostly in nice hotels and unlike the casinos
in North America are not open 24 hours a day. They are typically open
until 4 am and most open at 10 or 11 am and some at 7 am. The casinos
are typically found in hotels that cater to the business traveler and
are therefore close to major airports. Some of the casinos feature
bars; however, the ones that don't generally feature bars and
restaurants within the hotel.
