Ok, so this place is a relic, a dinosaur, a blast from the past. In a time when you can't hardly find anything more than 25 years old in Vegas, this place holds the historical key to the city. It is the OLDEST standing hotel on the strip. It's been featured in the Oceans 11 movie (the Arabian-esque theme is their specialty).
Now, the actual hotel rooms are fairly dumpy, definitely a 2 star status and the casino itself is in pretty serious decline. But, this legend is closing down in May - come and get a piece of history before it goes. Get some pictures, some chips from the casino if you collect those and bask in it's 50s Vegas glory before it makes way for lots of dust and some new monstrosity that will take its place (sniff sniff).
