I am a local who has worked here in casinos for over 30 years. I couldn't wait to go check out the SLS. I also wanted to share my experience with my fellow co-workers. I love to take pictures so went there for that mostly. First of all, the old run down parking garage is still there you enter the same way off Paradise. You walk in thru the same entrance. It is laid out exactly the same, just remodeled. It's so small and they want it to be so upscale it's scarry. I was there maybe ten minutes and started taking pictures and security was all over me telling me I can't take pictures of the gaming area. I told them I'm taking artistic pictures. I can't help it that it's so small in there you can't help but get some casino in most shots. They kept there eye on me and made me feel so uncomfortable. I would NEVER go back there. Such a cold atmosphere. High end restaurants and such a small high limit room. Not friendly at all. Don't waste your time. Let them fill that place with people from Cali. Why didn't they tear down the whole place and do it right?
