We came to town on Valentine's Day to celebrate my youngest son's 21st b-day (yes, it's on V-Day). Sadly, the drive from L.A. was more hellish than usual and we got to our condo so late that we skipped out on driving to Fremont. (however, we did find Ellis Island nearby and enjoyed that for what it is! see my review)
I really wanted to make sure my sons went down to Fremont where I knew we'd end up in Bayou so we came Sunday after breakfast (Omelette House- divine!) . I've been here before (of course, back in 2001 I think the daiquiris were about 1/3 the price!). I really don't enjoy gambling, but I do like to sit at a REAL coin-op slot machine and pull the arm of the one-armed bandit with my own hand. There is something very satisfying about plunking coins in and hearing your winnings clink into the tray. A classic Vegas experience that is hard to come-by today.
I truly hope they NEVER get rid of those machines!
It's a friendly place and a must-visit stop on Fremont. We had a blast and were only sorry that we couldn't come at night and get they whole "Experience!" We will be back!
*note to self: The drinks are stronger than they look.
We got the hurricane, white Russian, and mud slide flavors and enjoyed them all. I think I liked my son's white Russian best because it tasted like vanilla ice cream. YUM!
