Some of my friends or friend .Work one to two days in one company Casino.Then work one or maybe 2 days at another company Casino.NO beneifits too.They really care about Casino workersTrue fact..Real sad.
My family is old time Las Vegas, and the business my grandfather started is very well known. I have observed LV for 60 years, and I used to own a home in Green Valley. In my view, I recognized two decades ago that one day tumbleweeds would be blowing into open windows and doors throughout the valley. It was obvious it was fast becoming overbuilt with disastrous results. Gaming is tied to California, and that is pretty much toast! Sad to say, the Las Vegas I knew and loved while growing up and well into my middle age is gone forever!
You are correct, Vegas will never resemble what anyone remembers just a decade before. It has been an evolving city since day one, and will continue to be way into the future.
These Dirty Bastards were voted in by Idiots and they keep voting them in. When do you and the rest rise up and say Enough of the BullShit, No One Died from the Flu, Everyone Died from the Virus. Look back in 2018 220,000 + died from the Flu, go figure, all of a sudden, the Flu disappeared in 2019, No Cure, just Disappeared! Amazingly.
I live & grew up in Las Vegas. This is still so unbelievable to me. I worked in the casinos for 30 years. Looking at the Rio you could shoot a cannon through the place, I opened the Rio in 1990. I worked there for ten years it was the best time I'd ever had at any hotel I ever worked at. We were so busy & treated so well by the Marnell's. The employees loved working there & I believe it showed. Great memories! This never should have happened! Nothing warrants ever shutting down your countries economy! This has been devistating for all of us here in Las Vegas.
America barely shut down & had 1.2 million deaths. Had the US not responded at all to the virus there would have been 5-7 million dead. With a proper response, where the president was honest, government allowed to do their jobs & inform the public what to do, we’d have 80k dead. 80k!!! The poor response caused over 1.1 million unnecessary deaths.
Wow....thats sad to see. I left Vegas in mid 2019 out of pure luck. 5 months later covid destroyed Vegas. I wasn't always so lucky though I had bought a brand new house in 2007 in Vegas...a year later the economy died in 2008...I lost my home and I still had 2 kids and a wife to take care of. That was tough.
Sorry to hear about your loss in Vegas during the 2008 Housing Crash! I too suffered the same fate after 911, I ended up losing a condo I had purchased due to no work. Still remember how Vegas became a ghost town within two short weeks after 911 and of how the layoffs hit everyone very hard. Amazing what took place in short order once the planes stopped. So many good people in Vegas lost everything, very sad!!!
I believe they didn't open the Palms back up because they had a lot of people that were grandfathered in as far as pay and vacation goes. We made more then the other properties. I was a cage cashier for 8 years there. SMH
Yup. Stolen from another city: stadium built with local taxpayer $ for billionaire owners; with the most overrated, overhyped Head Coach in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's team, then got fired. Las Vegas is a town full of suckers, and not just the visitors. LOL all year that Las Vegas fans thought they had a real Head Coach. Chucky is fun as an announcer and a chump as a coach. Who's team are you going to steal next, Las Vegas?
All of them! It is shocking! I did notice that the landscaping is being meticulous kept. Secret: It takes a lot of money. There are unknown plans for Vegas. This is my heart place, I love Vegas.
Thanks for the video. Seeing how empty the Rio is was as depressing as seeing the other properties that are still shut. Hope they can all get back to some sort of normal. Vegas isn’t Vegas without lots of people
Another shithole maybe even a bigger one if you ask me but hey what do I know the liberals love their blue cities. I would head to either a conservative state or hills either or is better than Vegas or Pittsburgh. Anyone who has any common sense should know that all MSM and puppet politicians are doing is lying, manipulating to speed up the 2030 agenda to collapse the western nations!
Everybody needs to keep in mind that none of the resorts are really fully open. Between Sisolak‘s crushing capacity restrictions and visitation down 60%, nothing is truly open.
@@LaurenThompsonIsMyRealName It was amazing! Very small venue, maybe 2000 people. Stood right in front of him. We saw Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian that same trip..Hard to top that weekend!
It’s crazy. I’m happy to see many of the casinos which I featured over the Summer in my first video now open but admittedly am very surprised all of these properties are still closed.
I'm just blown away by the millions of dollars spent and the size of these buildings. Colorado Belle is the real 'wow' factor, that building is amazing!!
My father donated every penny into the machines at the Fiesta! He got lucky and passed away 4 months before the pandemic! Vegas was his life! He liked the heat, the nightlife ,drinking and the ladies! He wouldn’t have liked the shutdown!
As a former resident of Las Vegas seeing all these casinos closed is so sad. The damage this useless shutdown has caused is really sad. I am surprised to see the Palms and the East Cannery still closed they was always busy.
@@dmannevada5981 same here I'm a security guard at the Luxor and it's not where it was before covid but we have all been pretty dang busy and this time of year is typically slow anyway. A lot of these channels are making it look a lot worse than it is.
@@LVNVSmash While it's true not as many employee's of these properties are working as before Covid, the one's that are...are working consistently and are busy when at work. Sure, things aren't great for everybody, but the doom & gloom is quite exaggerated.
Palms dropped $600 Mil?!... Unbelievable! .. after your vid I’d check it out once it reopens! Cool update on Maloof bros always wondered what happen, and after they sold Sac Kings team.
It's so sad to see so many casinos shuttered, while many others are underperforming. I cannot help but think of the tens of thousands of people that are out of work in the casino and hospitality industry. I really hope that Las Vegas can make a comeback, and return to its former glory. Time will tell. Stay safe, Stay strong. Keep hopeful. God bless!
@@anthonylovavto3228 and the bean counters at the corporations. An odd thing. back in 2015 my wife was invited out for meeting with Caesar's Execs. They told her then that the new focus was conventions, entertainment and food. It would no longer be the gambler. She scoffed at them.
It any of these casinos remain closed then the new residents will be mice; and the indigenous insects that have been living in the area for thousands of years!
I lived in Vegas for 17 years ,I left in2018 I felt before the pandemic that it was about to implode because of uncontrolled greed, It was not worth living there anymore!
I live in Las Vegas and this just breaks my heart. I work in live music, restaurant, and hospitality and there is little work. We are used to making good money here and this pandemic is killing us here. The part of The Palms made me cry, I've had some amazing memories there.
Really sad to see the Palms closed. They just finished renovating this casino!!!! My personal favorite Station's Casino or "Red Rock Resort" was actually Texas Station. It was one of the only casinos left with authentic, 3/2, $5 double deck and six deck blackjack tables.
I have a long history at Texas and can't wait for it to reopen. From a distance it isn't anything special, but it has all you need upon closer inspection.
Main Street Station was beautiful on the inside. Many great memories. They had the best steak house and after dinner you could go on the train for a drink.
Oh wow I didn't know about the steakhouse. I'm sad the train out in front on Main Street is long gone now because of Circa's garage. It was always a cool thing to walk by. From the stained glass to the Berlin Wall and so much else I just love the history there.
I love my home town 🏜 it will always be fabulous in my eyes! We have the best bike trails & outdoor adventures! Bike weather ready to ride Union pacific trails🏜🌻🌞☕️
@@Milestomemories I just got back from a ride🚴🏾♀️🌞 My friend sells Ebikes, so we are always on the trails here & beautiful UT! We got it all & close to other incredible bike riding trails🚴🏾🍀☮️🏜
The Cosmo is active like nothing happened. Oh yeah and we also hit 2 handpays last night in the high limit room for a total of $4k. Had to create our own stimulus money 😂😂
I see they are closing the Wicked Spoon on January 10 until further notice. They just haven’t had enough business through the door to make it cost effective.
Awesome video, thank you. I lived in Vegas in the 90s, what a roaring town it was! I had so much fun...parties every night! The palms was a blast when it first opened, I used to do open mic night there with all the local musicians ... It will always be home. I'm just 4 hours away in northern Arizona now. Hopefully it will reopen soon. I would definitely move back..I love the big open skies...and the crisp air in the winter...much love.
Wonderful job, heartbreaking to see. I've been to most of these casinos, but only stayed at the 2 in town. I have a "if they ever reopen again" to do list and all of these are on to stay at. They deserve the business. Bills and belle were the saddest to me
Can't believe Palms is still closed. Very surprised that they would have the machines on unless they get turned on periodically, you would think they would want to keep the electric bill down!
I have seen that with many of the closed casinos. My guess is it has something to do with keeping their gaming license active, but that's just a guess. Thanks Joyce!
I left Vegas in winter of 2018. On previous trips I have stayed at Main Street Station, Fiesta Henderson 2x, and Colorado Belle 2x. As a hospitality/ rideshare driver, after the 2017 Mandalay Bay incident, tourism suffered. Never imagined this though.
As a long time business person and real estate investor....its just mind blowing to see these $100million to billion $ assets just sit there not generating revenue or paying salaries. It seems surreal and must be so emotionally painful for the displaced tens of thousands of workers and owners.
The closing of the Super popular and very nice locals casino and hotel that is the Eastside Cannery! I can't believe it's still closed! What Happened!!!!!
I don't know. I am really surprised it is still closed. My only guess is they are looking for a buyer possibly. They did sell Eldorado at least so hopefully that will reopen soon.
A lot of those smaller casinos are dives, and still are even some of the bigger casinos you can see the company who owned'ed haven't updated or revamped the properties since forever. Just my own opinion from my time living there as a full time resident of Nevada.
Yeah some are definitely old, but some like Eastside Cannery and Palms don’t fall into that category. And places like Texas with movie theaters, bowling alleys, tons of restaurants and giant casinos are still a surprise to me as well even if they haven’t been as updated. No doubt though most of the casinos are open at this time and it is the under-performers that are on this list no doubt.
My heart is shattered about the Palms. This would have been year 9 staying there. Big mistake to turn it in to a "trendy nightclub". They lost locals and out of town guest😞
To be clear he didn't pull his gun out but instead had it very exposed in his holster and his hand on it. Just a very aggressive way to approach the situation, but he left me alone when I explained I would head back to the sidewalk. It is Texas themed after all. 😂
@@Milestomemories Haha - Thats what I was thinking...Did he say..." Whatz y'all think ur doing here partner? My six shooter says you best be putting that pretty camera away."
@@jayclemons3071 Its an alright place to live. Las Vegas is not like anywhere else. It doesnt have a "sweet hometown" feel, but despite its seedier reputation, Las Vegas isnt terribly crime ridden. There are nicer parts of town and also "bad" areas, much like cities of similar size, but I would guess that in comparison the bad areas of Las Vegas are not as bad as that you will find elsewhere. Its clean. It's easy to get around and you can find just about anything here. If you can tolerate warm weather, it's great. Spring is warm, Summer is hot, fall is less hot, and winter is a little chilly. In 25 years I've seen snow that didnt melt before it hit the ground one time. So, yeah, it's an alright place to live, if you wont miss that quaint hometown-y feel you find just about anywhere else and are up for a place where everything is new.👍
I lived in Vegas for 23 years. It was so sad 😭 to see those Casinos closed. One of my favorite Casinos was the Texas As a local resident, I loved going to the Texas. I hope and pray that the Texas will re open.
The Palms was a winner in the mid 2000's, that was the hip place to be until The Cosmo opened and took that crowd. Sinking all of that money into an off-strip casino for a re-design made no sense at The Palms. The Rio was another super hip casino for years...very sad to see what happened there as well. In reality, I noticed as a lifetime resident the prices for everything here started increasing in the early 2000's when Mandalay Bay opened and I kept thinking they were slowly destroying everything about what Old Vegas was all about. If and when the casino industry comes back to life, they will have to start catering to Middle America again and locals and be happy with a modest profit...enough gouging. Vegas is going to experience a massive housing bubble burst just like it did 13 years ago as the housing market went insane last year. Hopefully it can come back.
Wow another amazing super great video info and analysis from absolutely the best channel on TH-cam. It's very simple there never going to reopen . Remember the famous line at the end of the Rambo movie " IT'S OVER JOHNNY ". IT'S OVER FOR ALL OF VEGAS. It's never coming back. Who in their right mind would go to a hotel let along a,casino in a pandemic. They will be using all the hotel rooms for all the homeless in the depression that will be happening when the rent and loan payment moritoriun ends in march. There will be so many for closures of houses it will make 2008 look like the good old days. Thank you and keep up the outstanding work that you do
Not if homeowners sell first. Unlike '08 homeowners aren't upside down and have equity. Currently, there are 3-4 buyers in the market for every seller. If you can't stay put for the next 5 years- sell now!
I just want the open casinos to reopen their buffets. South Point's buffet model works really well. Casinos who reopen their buffets will get my gaming business.
I need to get over there to see how they are doing it. You’d think if they were able to make it work economically at South Point that another Strip casino beside Cosmo would try.
1:06 The information about the Palms and the "entertainment and fixed cost structure associated with chaos [the night club]" might be of interest to another property just about to open not very far away.
I lived in Vegas over a decade, so sad to see. I've been in every last one of those shown in this video. Texas Station has an excellent lunch and dinner buffet and is just as beautiful on the inside as it is out. That's probably the saddest to me. At the same time this angers me. Covid didn't shut these establishments down. Sisolak shut them down.
I heard TX Station and the Fiestas were possibly being bought by Dotty's and Boyd Gaming? It's sad to see the Eastside Cannery still hasn't opened. I've had relatives stay there and have even stayed overnight myself. The rooms are clean, modern, and nice but apparently having Sam's Town down the street is enough for Boulder at this point. Even before 2020, Sam's Town always attracted the bigger crowds and the Cannery casino was usually empty. I remember when the Palms was the place to be in the early 2000's. Kinda crazy to see how it all went downhill for the Maloofs and the Palms. I understand they now own a minority stake in the Golden Knights and hopefully the Palms can make some kind of comeback in this town too.
Main Street Station: I love Triple 7 Brewery. Can't wait 'til it reopens again. Eastside Cannery: I stayed here for one night in October 2019. You're right the outside looks amazing. The inside looks like crap. It has the saddest gaming floor I've ever seen. Outdated slots, one open blackjack table, an empty craps table, no three-card poker, one restaurant that has Chinese food and American food. However, the suite I stayed in was nice. But, elevator to the rooms has a very faulty security card system. Rio: I like the Rio, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna get torn down in a few years. Looking forward to the rumors of a MLB stadium being built there.
Triple 7 is great. I love the Royal Red. As for Rio I suspect something will happen. It needs massive investment if it is to stay competitive as a casino and I doubt that is going to happen. Thanks Charles!
We spent many great days at Main Street Station. The dice were usually hot and we would leave with some of their money. The staff was always polite, the players were mostly Hawaiian and always pleasant. The Triple 7 was a great place to eat. My husband showed me a piece of the Berlin Wall that was in the Men's restroom. I hope it opens again
It was better before Boyd owned E. Cannery. Boyd bought E. Cannery and discontinued the buffet first. The next closest buffet down the street was at Sam's Town. Probably was the plan to let it die. I use to live next door in a gated community, neighborhood is a toilet
Nice video.👍 Wow, l was hoping not to see the Palms is still closed from a commenter just a month+ ago. I stayed there a lot from 2011 to 13 when the bank had possession of it. The machines were definitely looser than the strip and the buffet was awesome too. Breakfast was just $5 and dinner $10 with a mid-level playing card. Several years later the 100% payback VP machines were removed and the buffet was a lot more expensive. Even the rooms were more as well. The Grand Sierra Resort in Reno was in a similar situation too back from 2010 to 13 when the bank owned it; everything was very reasonable just like the Palms was. Now at GSR a dinner buffet is $30 compared to when they had a rad promo of $7.77 for mid-level players back then - including prime rib. The casino markets are always changing and covid completely through a wrench into the equation - And Tahoe was almost engulfed by the Caldor fire which was a double-whammy along with covid. I've been going there since '85 and they were really hit hard by the tribal sprawl throughout California, Oregon and Washington starting in the late 90s. You have to enjoy these experiences while they last because they can be gone tomorrow. Hopefully new opportunities arise soon - after all of the destruction the pandemic has wrought on the industry. I'll check out your other videos. Thanks for the tour. I had a trip planned for Vegas in April right after the lights went off and haven't been back since. I'm booking something soon though.
Across the street from the Palms is the Gold Coast Casino, which has been open for some time. The Gold Coast caters to a different crowd than all the other casinos, as the gamblers are mostly locals and local Chinese, because it is in the Las Vegas China Town. The Gold Coast has a lot of Chinese gambling games and was always busy. When the Fiesta Henderson opened as The Reserve it was all black outside, with a jungle interior. The restaurant had a full size crashed airplane.
We are from Southern Cal, but used to stay at the Gold Coast. It was easy to get around in, across from the Rio, close to the Strip, but not on it, and close to the freeway. I liked it, although the basic rooms were small.
That is crazy why would you leave on the power run ,tv on and all the lights that is so crazy,there are two many casinos,las Vegas two many old out date casinos like circus circus
I live here in Laughlin and Golden Entertainment hasn’t made an official announcement...BUT! The local scuttlebutt is that the Belle is permanently closed. Some structural issues with the building sinking. I’m not trying to start any rumors...But that’s been the word around here for months. If you have any insiders at Golden, maybe you could reach out for some off the record info. Thanks and keep up the good work!
@@nationalnewsnetwork4484 it’s just local gossip around Laughlin. Some who claim to be in the know. For whatever that’s worth. You see it on local FB groups as well. And it sucks because it closes the river walk behind the Belle. So you have to go around the front and around the Belle to walk the other half or the river walk.
I agree with those praising Main Street Station and its theme and decor. I would think it would be relatively inexpensive for Boyd to run. The old-time railroad theme, extensive woodwork and tin-style ceiling tiles should be seen by all Vegasphiles. The 777 brewery has excellent beer and food as expected from a Boyd place.
Absolutely. I have always loved it for the history, good beer and overall vibe. I think as soon as tourism from Hawaii is more open they'll swing the doors back open. I think the hotel almost exclusively relies on Hawaiians, although I would think the casino could draw in some locals, etc. The few times I've been to California outside of peak times it has been dead. That probably explains why Main Street Station is closed. Not enough business for the 2 properties.
last time i was in Vegas was sept 2019. booked for feb , the week of CNY. looks like its gonna be a busy week . a lot of cali folks go to Vegas for CNY
Its way slower than normal. Cocktail waitress at Harrahs said last year this time 3 cocktails weekdays and 5-6 weekends. Now 1 cocktail waitress entire casino Monday-Thursday. 2 on weekends. My dealer friends say tips are only 20% of normal. I think not only is body count down its also small gamblers
Would like to see The Palms Casino reopen. Have fond memories of this property and winning some very nice jackpots! If I ever go back to Vegas, this is the casino I would like to go to. Cross my fingers!
Hopefully when it reopens, it'll reopen with new ownership, or at least new management. Such a beautiful Casino, the rooms are gorgeous, and the top floor's reviews are unbelievable. Unfortunately, that casino has been mismanaged virtually since the day it was opened.
@@dmannevada5981 Normally, as i am sure you know, there is no such thing as a stupid You Tube comment. Your case is an exception. Meanwhile, grow a conscience. #dothemath
There is one thing that is nice to see, and that is all of the comments on this video, from locals, visitors, and from people who have never been to Las Vegas, expressing their kind regards and thoughts of this place. Before covid, people talked about Las Vegas as if it were a terrible place that no one liked. It's nice to know that people really do like Las Vegas. Real people live here, we are in this together. Love to everyone from Las Vegas.

This is still so unbelievable to me.
I worked in the casinos for 30 years. Looking at the Rio you could shoot a cannon through the place,

The biggest surprise for me of a closed casino is the Palms
Me too. I can't believe it has been closed this long.
And the painful truth is the fact that most of this is the result of the lockdown--NOT the corona virus!
When Hugh Hefner was alive, many Playboy events were held at the Palms.
It was a cool casino with entertainment and great food!
I believe they didn't open the Palms back up because they had a lot of people that were grandfathered in as far as pay and vacation goes. We made more then the other properties. I was a cage cashier for 8 years there. SMH

Congratulations LV you got a NFL team, that no one can go see.
Yup. Stolen from another city: stadium built with local taxpayer $ for billionaire owners; with the most overrated, overhyped Head Coach in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's team, then got fired. Las Vegas is a town full of suckers, and not just the visitors. LOL all year that Las Vegas fans thought they had a real Head Coach. Chucky is fun as an announcer and a chump as a coach. Who's team are you going to steal next, Las Vegas?

That's the kind of dumb sh** we get from the NFL CCP owners & Sissylack. As for the Palms, how sad because that venue was the best!
Nobody's watching Black Looters Murder kneeling NFL.
All of them! It is shocking! I did notice that the landscaping is being meticulous kept. Secret: It takes a lot of money. There are unknown plans for Vegas. This is my heart place, I love Vegas.
I’ve never been to the “modern” Las Vegas. My memories are of the old Las Vegas. Pre 1975 where all the legendary casinos were. I loved those days.
Such a different place now. On one hand I miss the old Vegas but I do appreciate this new version as well.
Lots of us still like old Vegas. It's the funne.st
Thanks for the video. Seeing how empty the Rio is was as depressing as seeing the other properties that are still shut. Hope they can all get back to some sort of normal. Vegas isn’t Vegas without lots of people
I live in Vegas 36 years. I am going back to Philadelphia
I lived in Las Vegas for 24 years. I'am never going back to New Jersey. My apt here would cost 1,600 there, plus the weather and state tax.
Cool, this city has too many people.
Another shithole maybe even a bigger one if you ask me but hey what do I know the liberals love their blue cities. I would head to either a conservative state or hills either or is better than Vegas or Pittsburgh. Anyone who has any common sense should know that all MSM and puppet politicians are doing is lying, manipulating to speed up the 2030 agenda to collapse the western nations!
Even worse

Everybody needs to keep in mind that none of the resorts are really fully open. Between Sisolak‘s crushing capacity restrictions and visitation down 60%, nothing is truly open.

Wow! I have never seen anything like this ever in my entire 45 years life
It’s crazy. I’m happy to see many of the casinos which I featured over the Summer in my first video now open but admittedly am very surprised all of these properties are still closed.
I'm just blown away by the millions of dollars spent and the size of these buildings. Colorado Belle is the real 'wow' factor, that building is amazing!!
I do love the Belle. Hope it gets saved.

I cherished every trip I took there, missed last year..first time in a long time, really hope to go back there this year.
My father donated every penny into the machines at the Fiesta! He got lucky and passed away 4 months before the pandemic! Vegas was his life! He liked the heat, the nightlife ,drinking and the ladies! He wouldn’t have liked the shutdown!

Used to love the buffet at Main Street. Kept me full until dinner.
Unless it is steak night, and you are a guest on the 4th floor. The smoke was nauseating, early check in did not work out that time.
Palms dropped $600 Mil?!... Unbelievable! .. after your vid I’d check it out once it reopens! Cool update on Maloof bros always wondered what happen, and after they sold Sac Kings team.
I would like to see the Palms reopen thanks👍👍👍
Main Street Station lots of good memories and Eastside Cannery two of my favorites, hope they come back strong.
I stayed at the Waldorf in December, the whole town was like Zombieland

Gonna be fascinating when the dust settles to see which casinos can stand back up and which can't
I can remember playing 10 cent roulette at the Eldorado when I was young, that was so much fun and you couldn't get hurt to bad if you lost.
Dime craps also. Dealers could 'spit' dimes from their hands.
It's so sad to see so many casinos shuttered, while many others are underperforming. I cannot help but think of the tens of thousands of people that are out of work in the casino and hospitality industry. I really hope that Las Vegas can make a comeback, and return to its former glory. Time will tell. Stay safe, Stay strong. Keep hopeful. God bless!
Thanks Michael! I share many of the same thoughts.

We stopped going to Las vegas when they started using resorts fees .....well before covid
I would like to see the casinos that are still open.
Absolutely. There are tons of videos on the channel showing them.
I was in Altantic City this past weekend and all the casinos there have been opened since July 2020.
It any of these casinos remain closed then the new residents will be mice; and the indigenous insects that have been living in the area for thousands of years!
I lived in Vegas for 17 years ,I left in2018 I felt before the pandemic that it was about to implode because of uncontrolled greed, It was not worth living there anymore!
I live in Las Vegas and this just breaks my heart. I work in live music, restaurant, and hospitality and there is little work. We are used to making good money here and this pandemic is killing us here. The part of The Palms made me cry, I've had some amazing memories there.
Hopefully better times are coming soon! Thanks Bridgett!
Hey Bridgett! Hang in there kid.
Back when the Rio first opened up in the early 90's. there Buffae was out of this world. use to wait 35-1-hour just to get a table.
Their buffets were great. The Seafood Buffet was AMAZING
Really sad to see the Palms closed. They just finished renovating this casino!!!! My personal favorite Station's Casino or "Red Rock Resort" was actually Texas Station. It was one of the only casinos left with authentic, 3/2, $5 double deck and six deck blackjack tables.
I have a long history at Texas and can't wait for it to reopen. From a distance it isn't anything special, but it has all you need upon closer inspection.
Sad to see the beautiful Eastside Cannery just sit and rot, I was there when it 1st opened not too long ago 😥
Agreed!
It's not, we're still maintaining it extremely well. It's still as beautiful as ever.
The East Side Cannery would make a great homeless shelter.
Seriously.
Main Street Station was beautiful on the inside. Many great memories. They had the best steak house and after dinner you could go on the train for a drink.
Oh wow I didn't know about the steakhouse. I'm sad the train out in front on Main Street is long gone now because of Circa's garage. It was always a cool thing to walk by. From the stained glass to the Berlin Wall and so much else I just love the history there.
Aztec casino and circus circus are still open and going strong! Some of my favorite classic joints in town.
I’ve never been to the Aztec. I’ll have to stop in there.
What about NewYork casino? Is it still open and doing business? And there is still fun to be had now Jan.2021?
I love my home town 🏜 it will always be fabulous in my eyes! We have the best bike trails & outdoor adventures! Bike weather ready to ride Union pacific trails🏜🌻🌞☕️

The Cosmo is active like nothing happened. Oh yeah and we also hit 2 handpays last night in the high limit room for a total of $4k. Had to create our own stimulus money 😂😂
Thats great! I will have to visit cosmo tonight
I see they are closing the Wicked Spoon on January 10 until further notice. They just haven’t had enough business through the door to make it cost effective.
Awesome video, thank you.
I lived in Vegas in the 90s, what a roaring town it was! I had so much fun...parties every night! The palms was a blast when it first opened, I used to do open mic night there with all the local musicians ...
It will always be home. I'm just 4 hours away in northern Arizona now. Hopefully it will reopen soon. I would definitely move back..I love the big open skies...and the crisp air in the winter...much love.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Christopher!
Wonderful job, heartbreaking to see. I've been to most of these casinos, but only stayed at the 2 in town. I have a "if they ever reopen again" to do list and all of these are on to stay at. They deserve the business. Bills and belle were the saddest to me
The colorado belle please reopen so many memories there with my grandma
Lots of fun at the Rio years ago, really enjoyed my stays there.
Can't believe Palms is still closed. Very surprised that they would have the machines on unless they get turned on periodically, you would think they would want to keep the electric bill down!
I have seen that with many of the closed casinos. My guess is it has something to do with keeping their gaming license active, but that's just a guess. Thanks Joyce!
I left Vegas in winter of 2018. On previous trips I have stayed at Main Street Station, Fiesta Henderson 2x, and Colorado Belle 2x. As a hospitality/ rideshare driver, after the 2017 Mandalay Bay incident, tourism suffered. Never imagined this though.
As a long time business person and real estate investor....its just mind blowing to see these $100million to billion $ assets just sit there not generating revenue or paying salaries. It seems surreal and must be so emotionally painful for the displaced tens of thousands of workers and owners.
So true. It is almost surreal.
Right, ain’t that something. I think humans are generally optimistic, being a small business man, I certainly am but then u see something like this.
WORLD COMMUNISM ON BOARD! SATAN IS SHIFTING GEARS!
Biden’s children from the jungle are coming.
The closing of the Super popular and very nice locals casino and hotel that is the Eastside Cannery! I can't believe it's still closed! What Happened!!!!!
I don't know. I am really surprised it is still closed. My only guess is they are looking for a buyer possibly. They did sell Eldorado at least so hopefully that will reopen soon.
A lot of those smaller casinos are dives, and still are even some of the bigger casinos you can see the company who owned'ed haven't updated or revamped the properties since forever. Just my own opinion from my time living there as a full time resident of Nevada.
Yeah some are definitely old, but some like Eastside Cannery and Palms don’t fall into that category. And places like Texas with movie theaters, bowling alleys, tons of restaurants and giant casinos are still a surprise to me as well even if they haven’t been as updated. No doubt though most of the casinos are open at this time and it is the under-performers that are on this list no doubt.
Thanks for the Show Shawn, rather odd Palms still closed since spent big money fixing it up
My heart is shattered about the Palms. This would have been year 9 staying there. Big mistake to turn it in to a "trendy nightclub". They lost locals and out of town guest😞
Hopefully it can get back to its roots and find a way to survive. It is a beautiful place.
Wow I didn’t know Main Street station was closed
Yes, Agree, Shawn, happy for everyone working at the Rio and elsewhere. Good luck, everyone.
Hi Shawn; thank you so much for the video. 2021 will be a much better year. CAB :)
EXCELLENT video Shawn. Hate that someone had to pull a gun on you that was over doing it. This was a great piece of work you just made.
To be clear he didn't pull his gun out but instead had it very exposed in his holster and his hand on it. Just a very aggressive way to approach the situation, but he left me alone when I explained I would head back to the sidewalk. It is Texas themed after all. 😂

@@jayclemons3071 Its an alright place to live. Las Vegas is not like anywhere else. It doesnt have a "sweet hometown" feel, but despite its seedier reputation, Las Vegas isnt terribly crime ridden.
There are nicer parts of town and also "bad" areas, much like cities of similar size, but I would guess that in comparison the bad areas of Las Vegas are not as bad as that you will find elsewhere.
Its clean. It's easy to get around and you can find just about anything here.
If you can tolerate warm weather, it's great. Spring is warm, Summer is hot, fall is less hot, and winter is a little chilly. In 25 years I've seen snow that didnt melt before it hit the ground one time.
So, yeah, it's an alright place to live, if you wont miss that quaint hometown-y feel you find just about anywhere else and are up for a place where everything is new.👍
I lived in Vegas for 23 years. It was so sad 😭 to see those Casinos closed. One of my favorite Casinos was the Texas As a local resident, I loved going to the Texas. I hope and pray that the Texas will re open.
Me too! I have a lot of personal history at Texas! I can't wait to see it open again.
The Palms was a winner in the mid 2000's, that was the hip place to be until The Cosmo opened and took that crowd. Sinking all of that money into an off-strip casino for a re-design made no sense at The Palms. The Rio was another super hip casino for years...very sad to see what happened there as well. In reality, I noticed as a lifetime resident the prices for everything here started increasing in the early 2000's when Mandalay Bay opened and I kept thinking they were slowly destroying everything about what Old Vegas was all about. If and when the casino industry comes back to life, they will have to start catering to Middle America again and locals and be happy with a modest profit...enough gouging. Vegas is going to experience a massive housing bubble burst just like it did 13 years ago as the housing market went insane last year. Hopefully it can come back.
Wow another amazing super great video info and analysis from absolutely the best channel on TH-cam. It's very simple there never going to reopen . Remember the famous line at the end of the Rambo movie " IT'S OVER JOHNNY ". IT'S OVER FOR ALL OF VEGAS. It's never coming back. Who in their right mind would go to a hotel let along a,casino in a pandemic. They will be using all the hotel rooms for all the homeless in the depression that will be happening when the rent and loan payment moritoriun ends in march. There will be so many for closures of houses it will make 2008 look like the good old days. Thank you and keep up the outstanding work that you do
Not if homeowners sell first. Unlike '08 homeowners aren't upside down and have equity. Currently, there are 3-4 buyers in the market for every seller. If you can't stay put for the next 5 years- sell now!
A shocking reality of 2020, hoping vegas will rebound back, thanks for the video !!!
You and me both! Thanks Ralph!
I just want the open casinos to reopen their buffets. South Point's buffet model works really well. Casinos who reopen their buffets will get my gaming business.
I need to get over there to see how they are doing it. You’d think if they were able to make it work economically at South Point that another Strip casino beside Cosmo would try.
1:06 The information about the Palms and the "entertainment and fixed cost structure associated with chaos [the night club]" might be of interest to another property just about to open not very far away.
I lived in Vegas over a decade, so sad to see. I've been in every last one of those shown in this video. Texas Station has an excellent lunch and dinner buffet and is just as beautiful on the inside as it is out. That's probably the saddest to me. At the same time this angers me. Covid didn't shut these establishments down. Sisolak shut them down.
Absolutely correct.
Casinos back in the day were very affordable. Especially the restaraunts. It is too expensive now.
I heard TX Station and the Fiestas were possibly being bought by Dotty's and Boyd Gaming?
It's sad to see the Eastside Cannery still hasn't opened. I've had relatives stay there and have even stayed overnight myself. The rooms are clean, modern, and nice but apparently having Sam's Town down the street is enough for Boulder at this point. Even before 2020, Sam's Town always attracted the bigger crowds and the Cannery casino was usually empty.
I remember when the Palms was the place to be in the early 2000's. Kinda crazy to see how it all went downhill for the Maloofs and the Palms. I understand they now own a minority stake in the Golden Knights and hopefully the Palms can make some kind of comeback in this town too.
Main Street Station: I love Triple 7 Brewery. Can't wait 'til it reopens again.
Eastside Cannery: I stayed here for one night in October 2019. You're right the outside looks amazing. The inside looks like crap. It has the saddest gaming floor I've ever seen. Outdated slots, one open blackjack table, an empty craps table, no three-card poker, one restaurant that has Chinese food and American food. However, the suite I stayed in was nice. But, elevator to the rooms has a very faulty security card system.
Rio: I like the Rio, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna get torn down in a few years. Looking forward to the rumors of a MLB stadium being built there.
Triple 7 is great. I love the Royal Red. As for Rio I suspect something will happen. It needs massive investment if it is to stay competitive as a casino and I doubt that is going to happen. Thanks Charles!
We spent many great days at Main Street Station. The dice were usually hot and we would leave with some of their money. The staff was always polite, the players were mostly Hawaiian and always pleasant. The Triple 7 was a great place to eat. My husband showed me a piece of the Berlin Wall that was in the Men's restroom. I hope it opens again
It was better before Boyd owned E. Cannery. Boyd bought E. Cannery and discontinued the buffet first. The next closest buffet down the street was at Sam's Town. Probably was the plan to let it die. I use to live next door in a gated community, neighborhood is a toilet
Thanks for the update!
Thanks for watching!
I was at the Palms when it opened and it was terrific. They had the Playboy Bunnies on site, mingling with the crowd. Wow, it was fun!
It was a lot of fun then and even before closing was great following the renovations.
Nice video.👍
Wow, l was hoping not to see the Palms is still closed from a commenter just a month+ ago. I stayed there a lot from 2011 to 13 when the bank had possession of it. The machines were definitely looser than the strip and the buffet was awesome too. Breakfast was just $5 and dinner $10 with a mid-level playing card. Several years later the 100% payback VP machines were removed and the buffet was a lot more expensive. Even the rooms were more as well. The Grand Sierra Resort in Reno was in a similar situation too back from 2010 to 13 when the bank owned it; everything was very reasonable just like the Palms was. Now at GSR a dinner buffet is $30 compared to when they had a rad promo of $7.77 for mid-level players back then - including prime rib.
The casino markets are always changing and covid completely through a wrench into the equation - And Tahoe was almost engulfed by the Caldor fire which was a double-whammy along with covid. I've been going there since '85 and they were really hit hard by the tribal sprawl throughout California, Oregon and Washington starting in the late 90s. You have to enjoy these experiences while they last because they can be gone tomorrow. Hopefully new opportunities arise soon - after all of the destruction the pandemic has wrought on the industry.
I'll check out your other videos. Thanks for the tour. I had a trip planned for Vegas in April right after the lights went off and haven't been back since. I'm booking something soon though.
Thanks Chris!
Ouch! Main Street Station and former HI and Park Station and Boyd Gaming.
Maybe 2223,2224 to have las vegas back ,maybe ,will it be the same ? Memories is all what we have left .😪 take care everyone, one day at the time💕
Across the street from the Palms is the Gold Coast Casino, which has been open for some time. The Gold Coast caters to a different crowd than all the other casinos, as the gamblers are mostly locals and local Chinese, because it is in the Las Vegas China Town. The Gold Coast has a lot of Chinese gambling games and was always busy.
When the Fiesta Henderson opened as The Reserve it was all black outside, with a jungle interior. The restaurant had a full size crashed airplane.
We are from Southern Cal, but used to stay at the Gold Coast. It was easy to get around in, across from the Rio, close to the Strip, but not on it, and close to the freeway. I liked it, although the basic rooms were small.
Used to be a big vegas goer ....Rio seafood buffet....NICE VID DUDE
Thanks!

That is crazy why would you leave on the power run ,tv on and all the lights that is so crazy,there are two many casinos,las Vegas two many old out date casinos like circus circus
I live here in Laughlin and Golden Entertainment hasn’t made an official announcement...BUT! The local scuttlebutt is that the Belle is permanently closed.
Some structural issues with the building sinking. I’m not trying to start any rumors...But that’s been the word around here for months. If you have any insiders at Golden, maybe you could reach out for some off the record info. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Where have you heard that from? That’s good to maybe know. Thanks!
@@nationalnewsnetwork4484 it’s just local gossip around Laughlin. Some who claim to be in the know. For whatever that’s worth. You see it on local FB groups as well. And it sucks because it closes the river walk behind the Belle. So you have to go around the front and around the Belle to walk the other half or the river walk.
I agree with those praising Main Street Station and its theme and decor. I would think it would be relatively inexpensive for Boyd to run. The old-time railroad theme, extensive woodwork and tin-style ceiling tiles should be seen by all Vegasphiles. The 777 brewery has excellent beer and food as expected from a Boyd place.
Absolutely. I have always loved it for the history, good beer and overall vibe. I think as soon as tourism from Hawaii is more open they'll swing the doors back open. I think the hotel almost exclusively relies on Hawaiians, although I would think the casino could draw in some locals, etc. The few times I've been to California outside of peak times it has been dead. That probably explains why Main Street Station is closed. Not enough business for the 2 properties.
last time i was in Vegas was sept 2019. booked for feb , the week of CNY. looks like its gonna be a busy week . a lot of cali folks go to Vegas for CNY
It would be nice to see some crowds come back. The slow crowds of early June are massive compared to how it has been the past few weeks.
This time of year is typically slow. Starts to pick up once people start getting tax returns and weather warms. Hope it comes back this spring.
Its way slower than normal. Cocktail waitress at Harrahs said last year this time 3 cocktails weekdays and 5-6 weekends. Now 1 cocktail waitress entire casino Monday-Thursday. 2 on weekends. My dealer friends say tips are only 20% of normal. I think not only is body count down its also small gamblers
Eastside Cannery was shocking to see is still closed
IKR it used to be the Nevada Palace years ago and was one of my favorite places
Would like to see The Palms Casino reopen. Have fond memories of this property and winning some very nice jackpots! If I ever go back to Vegas, this is the casino I would like to go to. Cross my fingers!
