Not in the best downtown location. Full of folks from lower economic classes. But a hidden gem of gambling opportunities. Single deck 3:2 Blackjack, pehaps the only such game left in Vegas. $3 craps with 10 X odds. Good video poker.



Clean, recently renovated and very cheap pavilion rooms. Tower rooms are designed exactly like rooms in the Orleans, very comfortable and spacious. All this at a very low price.



Jackie Gaughn, who once owned a good bit of downtown and is still on the Player's Card lives on the second floor and comes down in the afternoon to play the wildest live poker game. A one dolar to three (six on river) spread limit game. Nothing like it in Vegas. Filled with characters from an old Vegas.



A little play will get you plenty of attention and free room mailings. Often two free rooms over three nights with weekends included as choices. There is a two block walk to the Freemont experiment and the bus to the strip and late at night this feels a little sketchy to some. And there is still a bit too much smoke, but both these things are improving. The two blocks slowly is developing into an extension of attractions and the smoke has been reduced.
