If you miss the old Boardwalk Casino<\/strong> on the Las Vegas Strip<\/strong> (which died so that CityCenter<\/strong> could live; they don’t call it “City Cemetery” for nothing) and have $900,000 under the sofa cushions, do we have a deal for you<\/a>. Up in Tonopah<\/strong> there’s a hostelry called — we kid you not — the Clown Motel<\/strong>. If this sounds like a disturbing\u00a0and fucked-up concept in hospitality, just wait, it gets worse: It’s been dubbed “The scariest motel in America<\/a>.” (Considering that Lizzie Borden<\/strong>‘s house is now a B&B, that’s quite an honorific.)<\/p>\n How messed up is the Clown Motel? “Hundreds of clowns stare from every corner, the walls are hung with clown-portraits, and there is a ‘historic miners’ cemetery’ out the motel’s back door, wherein rest the mouldering corpses of the victims of a mysterious epidemic that is only known as ‘Tonopah plague<\/strong>.'” It’s like Jay Sarno<\/strong> and Norman Bates<\/strong> copulated and produced<\/a> this horrific afterbirth. All that’s missing are clown-themed slot machines, but some enterprising buyer will probably correct that oversight.<\/p>\n *\u00a0If you’re a casino that’s thinking of putting a Webcam in your fish tank, you may be asking for trouble<\/a>. An online aquarium proved to be the soft underbelly for an as-yet-undisclosed casino. Hackers penetrated the aquarium site and then ran rampant through the casino’s internal network. You might say something fishy took place.<\/p>\n * Do you think Bob Stupak<\/strong> belongs in the Gaming Hall of Fame<\/strong>? Someone else?
