While this is not the standout among casino properties developed by Steve Wynn (and recently sold by MGM MIRAGE to Internet entrepreneurs Thomas Breitling and Timothy Poster), it's still one of the nicest places to gamble, lookswise, in Downtown. (We prefer Main Street Station, but you might prefer the more obvious attempts at class that this place exudes.) That's because this looks like Old Vegas, but in the classy, gilded, glittery golden, cramped way, rather than the current dingy and depressing way. Some tables are only $5 minimum, at least during the day. And compared to most other Downtown properties, this is the most like the Strip. There's no word on what the new owners plan to do to the casino, but they've promised to bring back "Old Vegas" style to Downtown. Stay tuned.
