Question of the Day - 11 January 2006

Q:
Are keno lounges on their way out? On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I noticed that at least the Bellagio and MGM Grand have done away with their keno lounges, where I used to like to go sit, play a little keno with a cocktail, and relax awhile after walking around all day or having a big meal. Which casinos still have keno lounges?
A:

It's true that a number of properties, including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mirage, Las Vegas Hilton, Luxor, Monte Carlo, Riviera, and Flamingo, have either downgraded keno to a coffee-shop-only presence or have gotten rid of the game entirely (often to make space available for a new or enlarged poker room). But for the time being, many casinos still have keno lounges, although few of them are on the Strip. Here's a list, together with their locations within the casinos:
