Belize City: the former colonial capital on Central America del Caribbean

Belize City was the colonial capital of British Honduras until 1970, when the government moved the capital to Belmopan following the devastation of Hurricane Hattie in 1961. Despite losing capital status, Belize City remains the country largest city, its main seaport and the nation cultural and commercial center. Belize is unique in Central America for its Anglophone heritage, with English as official language coexisting with Spanish, Belizean Creole, Garifuna and Mayan languages. Belize cultural diversity, with Mennonite, Garifuna, Chinese, Indian and Mayan communities, reflects a particularly unique colonial and migratory history.

Belize legalized physical gaming in 1999 and Princess Casino was the first Las Vegas-style establishment to open in the country. Gaming regulation in Belize is supervised by the Gambling Prevention Act and its amendments. Princess International Group dominates the Belizean market with Princess Casino Belize City and Princess Casino in the Corozal Free Zone, on the Mexican border, primarily oriented towards Mexican tourism seeking Las Vegas-style casinos not available in their country.
