“I grew up on the Nevada Palace breakfast. The house I was raised in is only about a mile away, on Hacienda and Nellis. We used to come up here a lot in high school during the graveyard hours and soak up the beer with bacon and eggs. Miss that place.” — local playwright and actor Ernie Curcio on the notoriously smoky casino that made way for Eastside Cannery. Nevada Palace figures prominently in Curcio’s 2009 play, Rambis.

The Nevada Palace was a “dive” for a casino but I stopped by there occasionally when I was in the area. After UNLV football games me and my buddy would stop by there and have a couple of beers. They had a tiny sportsbook that was so bad it was kind of funny. The Nevada Palace kind of smelled like an old ashtray because they did not have much of a ventilation system.
