The years have taken its toll on the casino now called Binions.
When I broke in at the Golden Gate in 1976, the Horseshoe was the place to go after work. We could get 50 cent drinks and a decent steak dinner for 2 dollars. My sister was a blackjack dealer there and she was making great tokes and wearing bluejeans in the pit. It was a great time to be in Vegas.
Now sadly since Teddy died the Horseshoe is long gone. I agree with the other readers that the canopy has got to go. I remember when downtown was the place to cruise and really the heart of Las Vegas. The Fremont experience is trying to not get harassed or mugged on the street past the Four Queens.
Thats my story too.
Waiting for the City to open. Dreams are made of this.
It is a shame that no one is pulling for this project to make it.
There is just so much negativity in all of these postings. I agree that things have definitely changed for the worse, I have been here since 1976.
We need to rally together and make City Center a success for the good of Las Vegas.
This was a great show and production by U2. They really were 'Magnificent',
but Las Vegas deserves a better stadium. I have seen all three of their shows at the Silver/Toilet Bowl and this one sorely highlighted the deficits of this 3rd rate venue.
Las Vegas REALLY needs a world class stadium in the future to host top events. The parking, concession, and restroom facilities are as bad as it gets.
Despite all of the problems with Sam Boyd Stadium, the show was awesome,
and the crowd was responsive and emotional.
We are probably the only industry that treats its employees with total disdain for their health. I have worked around the smoke for 33 years now and yes it is my profession and my choice, but does that mean I waive all of my rights.
Why can't we have the best of all worlds and provide adequate ventilation for the comfort of the majority of people who do not smoke. I smoked for 30 years and it always bothered me at work, but I put up with it because I had no choice as a Las Vegas Casino Employee.
It is time to change this treatment for good.
Why do we side with the addicted, pure greed and money.
We really need to look for a big time coach. How long does Sandford get to turn them around. Just not happening with this coach. Depressing...
We lost one of our most innovative and daring Las Vegas characters today.
I remember vividly how wildly outrageous the interior of the Vegas World was decorated. Stupak was the king of the junkets and 500.00 free play money that he offered in the 80's. Love it or hate it the Stratosphere towers over the Valley and is the ultimate landmark for Las Vegas. It is ironic how the little guy who built the tacky casinos had more class than the billionaires who run the corporate ivory properties. Thanks for the memories and RIP.
Like father, like son, two bums with no class.
Can't wait to see Manny destroy Floyd Jr.
I'm with Barry, implode the beast and put another water park back.
The building is so ugly and has no concept or overall design. It was the biggest mistake in Las Vegas history to build this place. Don't need it or want it on the strip.
