Description: Based on St. George's own submission notes enclosed in this file, these images show the Minoffs at the casino at the Hotel Caprí, entirely deserted of all tourists, which is located on the famous street called La Rampa that connects the central area surrounding the University of Havana to the Malecón, or sea wall. The only people sitting in the casino besides the Minoffs and the dealer are two off-duty showgirls from the nightclub at El Caprí and what he calls a "b-girl," or free-lance and high-class prostitute. Other images in the prints show a group of foreigners lounging alongside the pool at the Hotel Nacional.
