The old place will be demolished to allow for an expansion of the convention center. A lot of casinos have disappeared in that area including the Sahara, now the SLS LV, Golddust and New Frontier. The only old place around there is Circus Circus

We got to stay there a couple weeks ago for a trade show. We were admiring how good it still looked after 60 years, only to find out it was closing in a couple more weeks. Glad we got to stay there while we could.

The only reason why Circus Circus stayed was they had a major expansion done in the 1990’s and are planning even more expansion in the future.

It’s hard to stay solvent when you can’t kneecap the deadbeats.

I once got “stuck” in Vegas for almost a week due to a bunch of canceled flights. Different strokes I guess: to me it was the most boring, disgusting, unpleasant place I’d ever seen.

After I got out of the service in 1979, I worked for a year in security at the Silver City on the Strip, across the street from the Stardust. It got torn down in 2004 and replaced with thw Silver City Shopping Plaza.

I once chased a purse snatcher down the Strip, all the way to Circus Circus, where I lost him.

Stayed there several times. Always reliable.
