Bills/Barbary Coast R.I.P. : (

No but if they are doing construction there that drop off/pickup area may not be available.

You guys crack me up! Yes, I have good memories of Barbary Coast.
Won on deuces at the bar with my daughter standing by. We enjoyed a hotdog and beer from the vendor. Another time saw Big Elvis - fun times!

BWAAHAHHAAA That was the first thing I thought of as well.

I learned to play dueces wild there. I played enough that they sent me free rooms and free steak dinners.
Any time you wanted you could see a host and they would give you a meal for two.

A few years ago Bill's had a funny promotion. If you had your player's card in a machine at the time a BANG went off, every person who had their card in won, I think, $ 5.00 free play or something small like that.

The called the promo "Get Banged at Bill's."

I will miss the 1/4 pound hot dogs by the Sports Book, for a long time an elderly lady was always working at the cart. She was so nice and friendly, a real Grandmotherly type.
I don't remember her name, but she was very nice.

So sad to see it go. One of my favorites. Good memories of Big Elvis and crowded craps table of people having a great time.

Here is the story of them closing:

Bill's to close in February 2013

If you have any comps you can get them transferred to your Harrahs account if you are there in person. I won one of their $100 comp explosion drawings last June and got half of it transfered to my Harrahs card, looks like I'll be headed down in early January and will have to get the rest transfered.

There is a lot of pedestrian traffic that comes up that sidewalk on the way to the Strip.
I would hopefully think that their accessibility and safety will be taken into consideration,
and along with that of The Orleans shuttle.
Besides, I don't think the entire year long re-do would involve the outside facing Flamingo Ave.
............ at least let's hope not.
