Ya see, The thing thats great about Vegas is that all the establishments seem to have their own unique theme: The Luxor is an ancient pyramid, Excalibur is a medieval castle, Treasure Island is a Pirate SHip.
Well, way out in Henderson the Skyline casino has its own theme too... Lung Disease. The clientele at Skyline is a delightful mix of transients, tweakers, and railroad bums....and they all smoke. The most distinguished
patrons at Skyline live in the luxurious housing development adjacent to the parking lot.
The houses are little modest (maybe) but ya know what they say - its all about location. And is there a better location than next to a bar that serves up $1.50 shrimp cocktails?
Mr Hot Dog gives visitors a happy greeting at the front entrance. Just inside is an onsite barber shop...and the barber is even rumored to be sober a solid 3-4 days/week. Hey thats better than me.
I'm talking alot of trash here but this place is simply charming. Its decorated tastefully with antique memorobilia from Vegas' early days and the staff is super friendly.
My eyes got as big as smoke detectors when I saw this quarter VP progressive at the Skyline which hovered over $2K. I've never seen one get that high so I grabbed a bar stool,
sucked down several cheap beers, and devoured several of their shrimp cocktails. I spent over 10 hours spread out over 3 days chasing that stupid progressive before my lungs finally surrendered. I couldn;t tKe another minute. I walked out and headed back to my smoke free retreat on the strip - but not before
putting a massive dent in Mr Hot Dog's balls. Creepy bastard isn't smiling now.
