Alamo? I had heard about their good rules and had stopped there on my last trip.

Unfortunately, they were having electrical problems, so instead of playing, I bough a souvenir chip at the cage...

You missed out on a great experience. It's like playing blackjack with a sarcastic truckstop cashier as the dealer. Probably, that's because it IS playing blackjack with... That was maybe the most fun I've ever had playing in Vegas.

Can someone point me to the actual location of this Alamo casino? Is it still operating?

When I search on Google Maps for "alamo casino las vegas" I get this.

When I search for "Blue Diamond Road & Dean Martin Drive" (as mentioned in the article) I get a completely different location.

The second one is correct. It's on the northeast corner of the intersection, across Blue Diamond from the Silverton. It looks much more like a truck stop than a casino...
