James Bond Filming Locations - One and Only - Ocean Club - Nassau - Casino Royale

Library
 When James Bond visited the Bahamas in Casino Royale, he was following a lead which brought him to the Ocean Club on Paradise Island.  The Ocean Club is located east of Atlantis Hotel just a short drive down the road.  

As Bond is walking into the rear entrance of the Ocean Club he cuts through the pool and garden.  The garden is amazing and the pictures don't do it justice.

The poker game that Bond attends is located in the library right near the reception at the Ocean Club.  The bar that Bond orders his "Large Mount Gay and Soda" is there and the bartenders are more than friendly to talk about filming with you.  
The far stool on the left is where Solange is sitting drinking a martini.

If you are looking for a good place for lunch and enjoy more rum and cokes you can move out near the water to a restaurant called Dune.  From here you can see this island that the Disco Volante crashed into in Thunderball.

If you make it to the Bahamas make sure you make a day trip for lunch to the One and Only Ocean Club.  You won't forget it.

James Bond Art

Check out this cool 007 artwork that was given to me by my brothers girlfriend!  Quite the talented artist.  
Bond fans will recall that the Daniel Craig version of Casino Royale was not the first time the story was told on screen.  In 1954, CBS produced a live television version of Casino Royale staring American Barry Nelson as Card Sense Jimmy Bond.  Still think Sean Connery was the first person to play 007?
In 1967, Casino Royale was made as a spoof with 5 different directors directing the picture!  The plot holes in the movie were big enough to drive your Aston Martin through but it did have Ursula Andress in it.

2006 saw Casino Royale finally adapted as it should be and introduced Daniel Craig into the role as the famous Secret Agent.

Casino Royale Trailer

The trailer of the 2006 movie Casino Royale staring Daniel Craig as James Bond.  When this trailer came out fans everywhere knew that James Bond was BACK!  I can recall people watching it over and over again on there ipod while driving to the theatre to watch the movie.  This trailer came out in the summer of 2006 and teased us with a glimpse of the new "Blonde Bond".  Casino Royale went on to be one of the most successful Bond movies ever. 

If you haven't seen this movie yet, buy it, rent it or find someone who owns it and give it a watch.   You'll be happy you did.
