| - OK, so check this out. I know I have been long dormant with the Yelp reviews (bad girl, BAD GIRL!), so to make it up to ya'll, I am now embarking on a casino-by-casino tour of my new hometown of LV, NV, and will include reviews of each as I tour them. Now, these will not include room stays, but just schlepping around the premises - eating, drinking, and checking out anything that moves or doesn't move. Got it? OK, let's proceed...
Review #50:
And so my journey ends with casino #50, appropriately the oldest operating casino in Las Vegas (since 1941); now it finds itself in the newly happening area near East Fremont; the parking pissed me off though, as I refused to pay $10 to park in their garage (how un-Vegas is that?) and luckily found a street spot; walking in is like stepping into a time machine back to the 50's or 60's; this is not entirely a bad thing, and the pictures of old Vegas along the walls are cool & interesting; however, it's fairly smoky, the clientele is mostly lower-to-middle end as you'd expect, and there are a limited number of things to do beyond gambling & drinking; it has a nice spiral staircase up to the 2nd floor which contains, well, not much; hopefully the upcoming Siegel's restaurant will add some flare here; best craft beer bet = surprisingly, there are a few decent craft selections on tap at the casino bars, including locals CraftHaus & Tenaya Creek.
