Sigh. Another icon from ‘Ocean’s 11’ gone. The real Ocean’s 11 from 1960.

The Riviera was Old School Vegas. A shootout scene from 3000 miles to Graceland filmed at the Riviera.

Might as well. How many casinos follow suit due to the drought? LV’s water source is Lk. Mead which is drying up.

Indian Casino’s.

Those old casinos blow up real good.

I won $35.00 at the World Archery Festival there in 2005.
Entry fee was about $160.00 for Flight.

Still have a copy of the check...It was the finest $160.00 I ever spent. (I was flinging arrows in 1969, recurve - take down, watching the Allen Compound come around the corner

While I lived there for over 12 years the bartenders asked me if I was playing? My response,

“NO! BUYING YOUR DRINKS WILL SAVE YOU MONEY”
They all agreed.

Las Vegas Archers Club, miss it dearly.

I don’t think I ever visited the Riviera, unless that was the one that had the $1 Blackjack tables (what can I say? I’m cheap).

My first couple trips out, I actually spent most of my gambling time at the downtown joints. I always felt that was probably closer to the “old Vegas” my dad used to talk about when he would go. No cheesy gimmicks, no soccer moms in baby strollers, just gambling, good booze, and good food (I loved eating in the “coffee shop” in Binion’s.)

Last time I went out, though, I was very disappointed with how far some of the downtown joints had fallen. I haven’t been back in years.
