Supposedly SLots-A-Fun is getting a makeover as a tribute to its former self.
Among reported features:
- Lots of coin operated slots and VP
- vintage slots from the 90's
- $10 table games
- $1 and $2 snacks and a cheap shrimp cocktail
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has checked it out.
I used to love popping in there back in the old days when New Frontier and Stardust were its neighbors. They had $1 margaritas and strawberry shortcake. And it was cool to have a craps table set up five feet off the sidewalk out front.
Significant that they couldn't bring themselves to extend the nostalgia shtick to having low table game limits.
It used to be one of the two casinos in town that weren't classy enough for homeless people (the Western downtown being the other). I remember that craps table. One time, I was playing there, and a drunk shooter heaved the dice all the way out into the street.
I also recall the weirdest ever few minutes of blackjack in my life...at their $1 tables. I got dealt six pat 20s in a row. I lost all six. I then got dealt six hard 12s in a row, I won all six.
It won't be an authentic Slots Of Fun experience, though, unless a drunk throws up on you.
