Oooh well...back to the Riv. It had sort of a sleazy vibe with a touch of old Vegas Charm. I used to love walking in there and the Stardust just to imagine what it was like there in the days before the corporate suits showed up.
It has been since the late 90s for me. I lived in Vegas a while but was never a casino/gambler. Always preferred toys with engines and it was too easy to lose the cash. Glitter gulch was fun to walk through though. Especially before the cleanup. Dangerous at times but fun.
Ah to be young again...
Oh...The Riverside in Laughlin has sorta the Riv thing going on. Or used to. Havent been to Laughlin in a while.
