If you’ve ever wanted to play in one of those eight-hour, slots-in-a-trailer casinos that United Coin sets up to help Company X preserve the gambling entitlement underlying a closed building or a vacant piece of land, here’s your chance. Three “Trailer Stations” (a Howard Stutz coinage) will be held this summer. One June 8, if you can find the former Skinny Dugan’s Pub, out on 4127 W. Charleston Blvd., United Coin will be there, slots in tow. Then 15-16 days later, depending on the approval of the City of Las Vegas, United will roll its slot trailer over to the remnants of Moulin Rouge, where hope springs eternal. Then, in late July, United is scheduled to drop anchor at the former site of the Queen of Hearts motel, where once stood the seediest and most unlamented slot route in downtown.
Plan those Vegas vacations now!
Any info on whether the slots in those trailer stations pay more/less/the same as “regular” casino machines, or does it vary by operator?
Do they have to have a certain level of patronage, or is the entitlement preserved even if no customers show up?
Do they have to serve food or beverages?
Just curious about a weird way of doing business…

Golden Palms (at the corner of Tropicana and Dean Martin Drive) should have set up one of these trailers to keep their gambling license intact. Great location, but with only 3 acres of land its hard to do anything with this property except maybe a small hotel or condominium.
