My question is about Mermaids casino downtown. In 1956 it opened as Silver Palace casino. At that time, it was a two-story casino and had over 16,000 square feet of gaming. What happened to the upstairs? Is it in current use as something other than a casino? Anyone that has been inside Mermaids knows it to be a small slots joint, but it appears that was not always the case.
