| - FUN, FOOD, AND FANTASTIC MERMAID EMPLOYEES
Mermaids ended up being one of our favorite bars on Fremont. We walked in and were handed a raffle ticket for a cash drawing that is called every thirty minutes. The numbers called for winners were never anything close to our number, I wonder how many of these raffle tickets actually have a winner! I scoped the bar area with it's frozen treats, and husband immediately started looking around for the food he'd seen pictures of out front: fried twinkies and other goodies, and Nathan's Hot Dogs! After seeing the long line in the food area, and hearing the prices for frozen drinks, we decided to sit down at one of the nickel machines. The max bet is fifteen cents and it's fun, even though it's quite simple. I enjoy that kind of gambling (from time to time.) A cashier in the back cashed in all the nickels the machine gives you when you cash out. (Don't expect a ticket here!) It's husband's favorite - who doesn't like the sound of actual money coming out of the machine! We didn't brave the food line the first night we were in there, but made a note to come back.
A couple of nights later, there we were again! Fun! More nickel gambling! The small casino was well-stocked with employees so drinks came out quick to the people betting their money. Not only were the girls working in cute outfits (like most casinos) but they were very friendly. Even though neither of us were very hungry, we decided to get a few hot dogs. Not bad.
Overall, very cute casino for being so small - it was really warm inside but mostly near the back in the food area. Much nicer temp. near the front entrance.
