Poll : 09 January - 22 January 2025

Big Elvis and Lon Bronson?  Aren't they still here?

Nothing to ad.

Somebody nominated this but it didn't make the list.

Want the old slots back. This 88-cent minimum bet crap is awful.stopgouging your visitors at every opportunity. Old Vegas was way more fun

PALACE STATION had great food specials , in the 90s ? mon , king crab , wed. spaghetti ??    ALL GONE . 

JEAN SCOTT!!!

I nominated 24-hour cafes (which didn't make the list). I'd say that's what I miss the most. [Thanks for noticing, Candy].

Bring back Westward Ho. It reminded me of downtown Vegas on the strip.

Don't go to Vegas anymore because of the added fees that you now have to pay, parking, resort. In addition as a blackjack player they have taken the fun out of playing with their high table minimums, automatic shuffling machines, 6-5 blackjack payouts at all of the strip casinos. I'm a $10 to $15 table minimum player to make my gambling budget stretch. Will go to my local casinos that have those lower minimums.   

Laughlin and Reno still have car collections but the IP's was the best. They once had a room full of Duesenbergs, wow! 

In checking QoD Mother Jessica Roe, this doesn't mean I want the current QoD Father to be replaced. I had several communications with Jessica and miss her, but she could come back with a different task so we are blessed with both :) 

…about the 24 hour cafes. 

"The Ho"--Westward Ho

Frontier (before the strike)

Add The Ho. Deep swimming pools, the new Frontier, $2.00 ayce jumbo crab legs at the damn, the Reserve, All the stations, 24 hr cafes with counter seating, F/P Jokers, Fitzgeralds, The Vegas Club, F/P video poker everywhere, the old enterprise rent-a-car on paradise, All three casinos in Primm from their heyday, reasonably priced shows, the brunch at circus circus steakhouse, Vacation village, home prices from the ‘90’s.

How could you have left out free parking?

Another vote for these.  I also submitted as an idea.

24 hour cafes as a few said, for sure!

Of all cities in the world to largely shut down the 24 hour cafe, what the what?!? 

Loved when people used to dress up in vegas

There were at least six or seven nominations (including mine) for 24 hour cafes, but were omitted from the ballot.

I agree with John Foisy, this is one I miss the most, where you could get a reasonably priced breakfast or sandwich or other entree, coffee or soda (and a grown up beverage) any hour of the day or night.  And along with my vote for Keno, many of those had the Keno board and runners, at least during the daytime.  Thanks.

Loved Westward Ho, especially the snack bar. I would visit it almost every trip.

I voted for free parking. But we also miss the Aladdin. There was an escalator that went up (not there since PH took over) where there was free live music entertainment, all the while playing video poker and getting comped drinks!

I wish that "Free cigarettes" wasn't on the list, because cigarette smoke is one of those things that made Vegas casinos in the past be a somewhat negative experience. In casinos or elsewhere, cigarette smoke is a pollutant that directly interferes with my ability to breathe (and other people's too), that can cause or contribute to cardiac and/or respiratory ailments/diseases (in many cases causing death), and that stinks up your clothing and other items. I always had to wash my clothes after returning home from a Vegas trip because of the stench from cigarette smoke. Now in 2025, that is no longer true, because the rate of smoking has dropped a lot over the last couple of decades. Free cigarettes would just tend to get people to smoke more, not less, and I don't want that. So this perk from the past is one thing that we should not miss and thus want back; rather, we should hope for anything legal and reasonable that tends to eliminate cigarette smoke from casinos as much as possible.

How about common sense visitors who were smart enough to quit feeding the new corporate greed machines.

Glass Pool Inn, casinos not checking coin in before giving you a drink (yes you Golden Nugget), Jubilee and the “No solo bathing” pool at the Nugget where finding a seat was never a problem 

Had great deli,24 hour prime rib dinner and 100x odds on craps

Meant Binion's Horseshoe

Resort fees and $5 table limits should be the highest priorities.  Las Vegas has almost run the lower level players off.  Even when you get a comped room, it costs you $50+ a night because of the resort fees.  If you enjoy playing some of the card games like my husband does, it cuts into your gambling budge pretty good when you have to pay more than $5 a hand.  I realize they have to make money, but it's gotten ridiculous.  Now they are just being greedy.

Practically "All of the Above". Definitely bring back Buffets & Poker Rooms.Yes resort fees suck!I miss the Riviera,Westward Ho,Stardust,Silver City & especially the Boardwalk.Casino Fun books,Showgirls,the Show in the Sky & 5 cent Video Poker available at EVERY strip casino.Those were the good ol' days.Viva Las Vegas!!!!

Tic-tac-toe with a chicken!  This was downtown and you could win silly necklaces.  

WHO VOTED  BIG ELVIS , PETE VALEE IS GOIN GREAT , GO TO HARRAHS -- ITS A DEAL ONE DRINK SPECIAL . C'MON WAKE UP  VOTERS . HE IS ON TOP OF HIS GAME . HE EVEN SNACKS BEFORE HIS PERFORMANCE . VERY CORDIAL , TAKES PICTURES , ETC. 

How about a poll on something new to Vegas that hasn't been done before (or at least to any great extent).  Smoke-free casinos would be the biggest.  I'm sure there are others.  I know big casinos don't care, but might be a blip on their radar at the very least.  They could start with some decent-sized free smoking areas if they didn't want to go totally smokeless.  Seems like they don't even want to try where smoking is concerned.  Latest info I saw says only 14% of the U.S. smokes.  They must all frequent Las Vegas.  I would guess a much bigger percentage of high rollers smoke but they get their own rooms anyway, don't they?

I'm not "gone."  Still writing and visiting casinos, just not as often.  But I will be in Vegas in March!!
