What is the WORSTcasino in the Las Vegas area?

Not necessarily in terms of odds or gambling conditions, but in terms of ambiance, clientele and maintenance.

While I have not strayed too far off the beaten path, I've explored a little bit and I'd call it a toss up between The Western and Railroad Pass.

Western, Terribles, ... probably a few other candidates depending on weighting factors. Some people would rank maintenance highly but I don't see anything wrong with repairing the carpet with duct tape or washing an ashtray once a decade.

The Western had it's rooms shut down by the health department. It's a place for the bums to go. I can't walk in the place since the air is so foul.

To be fair you should pose the question from the 35 casinos that made over $72 million apiece in gaming (Vegas urban area only). If not, then I nominate LARRY'S HIDEAWAY which is also a grade z strip club.

I would've said Eureka on E. Sahara, due the neighborhood of transgender hookers and meth-heads, but the reviews online of Siegel Suites are awful. Bloodstains on pillowcases. Roach stained walls. Doors with no locks so the local whores and junkies can barge in trying to rob the new residents.

"The place is CRAWLING with roaches!! Its nasty, the staff sucks (except the security) There are bed bugs infesting 2 of the buildings, there is constantly drama going on, and always crime 24hrs a day, and they only have 1 guard who cant keep up with it."

"There were roaches everywhere. It looked like it was a run down apartment. We opened the refrigerator and there were roaches everywhere. The toilet were disgusting. Nothing was clean. The furniture all looked like it was pulled out of a dumpster and just thrown together. I was afraid to sit down. there were stains that looked like urine stains on the furniture. It was filthy. the kitchen was even worse. I think this place needs to have the city inspect it. They are obviously false advertising the pictures on the website, looked nothing like the apartment. It was completely unlivable. We chose to not stay, went back to the office to tell them we were not going to stay it was unlivable. They refused to even give me any part of my money back. Oh and there were prostitutes trying to solicit my husband. and a child that appeared to be about 8 years old walking around with beer. Not a place to stay."

"Where do I begin? The rude, arrogant staff? The tyrranical cop-wannabe Security geek? The BUGS? The filthy bathroom in my unit? The BUGS?!!! The constant police presence? The 'guests' who examine' your car to see if it's locked? The druggies? The Police helicopters overhead all night long? The inoperable rotary-knob TV sets that predate cable? The BUGS????!!! "

"Everything is dirty. From the toilete to the carpet, the sheets were disgusting, and i found blood and other unpleasant substances everywhere.
The more disgusting thing is that they were bugs in the carpet and the couch, and roaches all over the room. When i told this to the manager she changed the couch , and did nothing more. The staff is super rude , and not helpful at all.
The coffe machine didnt work , the aircond was broken , and the tv didnt have a clicker.When i asked for one , they just said they couldt help me.
The people living in the complex they are horrible, prostitutes , drug dealers, you name it. You are scared all the time ."

"According to local police, multiple thefts have occurred at this location in the past year. Due to a recent experience with theft here, I felt compelled to write a bit about a family member who came here for a short term stay (1 week) and got robbed within a few hours of arrival. First, the conditions of this establishment are terrible. Stained sheets, smelly rooms, stained carpet, you know the rest. They appear they could care less who stays, and that is probably why it is on the cheaper side. My family dropped his bags and took off to Target to get some sheets (as office refused to change them) and then get a bite to eat. When he returned, the door was wide open and all of his luggage had been stolen, including a laptop bag, two wheeled bags and a small backpack. Problem is, this is all he has in the world and it was all taken from him. The job appeared to be professional as the glass was "cut" in a triangle and the perpetrators let themselves in through the window, the rolled the luggage out the door. My family member also is highly suspicious that the front office may be involved in this ..."

"The beds suck and the water barely comes out of the shower head and it leaves a black residue on everything, you might ask why are we still here? There is an absolute no refund policy!!!!"

out ahead of time when I am trying to get a good price but
considering staying somewhere I'm not familiar with.

Perhaps the "country" they are referring to, is Afghanistan.

Paco:

Always a wealth of cool information and lists !

Of your list of 35 casinos, I've stayed at 7
of them over the years.

Once we found Tuscany Suites, we (I know some
people find it too quiet / boring) have mostly
stayed there.

But we have also been getting some good
room offers from Harrah's properties
lately, so we were at RIO and TI recently.

I don't know if the casino draws any of the trannies or tweakers. And it does lock its doors at dusk. Perhaps trannies simply don't gamble? I would think the customer base for Eureka is the same as if the place were named Dotty's.

I had no idea Siegel Suites was so bad. It must be a residence of last resort.

I was just in Eureka last week with a friend who filled me on the neighborhood, and we saw several hookers walking the streets around the place. There was a guard at the door who flirted with a couple trannie hookers before letting them in, as we watched from the car. Once we were inside, we were both solicited by them. Of course they looked great from a distance, but having one sit next to me at a vp game, his high forehead, adam's apple and strong chin gave him away.

I turned him down btw, if you were gonna ask.

Not familiar with grade z, but something tells me the average stripper there is as large as a defensive end for the Broncos, and not quite as pretty. Or possibly doesn't have the same plumbing as most women. Or even the same number of chromosomes.

The Gold Coast Belong to Boyd Gaming just as the slimy Orleans. if you do not want to become a loser likes me Do not play at the Orleans. i started playing at the Orleans in 1996...when they opened their doors , I like to play Poker machine few Days a week. in the first 5-8 years i used to win one royal every 2-3 weeks , then they started changing the machines and my winning went down to one royal every two month.... in the last few years it went down to one or two a year and in 2013 i did not get even one....and worse i did not see anyone getting one....stay away from the Orleans and do not become a victim .

I disrecommend them for other reaons. I lost a $140 slot ticket there and they bascially told me to blow off. I like the Gold Coast a lot more than the Orleans (A LOT more -- surprising since they are in the same chain).

Boyd has a lot of variety in its casinos. Compare craps at MSS, Cal and Fremont. Respectively they offer 20X, 3,4,5X and 2X (and I've still played craps at Fremont; that $3 table is a powerful lure). Pretty good VP can be found at all three, with MSS having more good machines. Still, I think the best is at the Cal, a bank of 10/7 DB in $1 and $0.50 with a 1,000 coin bonus on a natural royal in hearts.

The worst I've been to recently has to be Skyline. No slot club, dark, dingy, and everybody just looked depressed. VP are all coindroppers which drop quarters. No table games.

Only redeeming factor is it's got 50 cent FPDW. Even then I rather drive down the road and play $1 craps at Joker Wild with 10x odds.

1.49 shrimp cocktail, 99cent Margarita. One Cent and One Dollar Megabucks. Progressives. 100 percent payout. 20 random drawings a day for 25.00 cash or gas. Saturday Night Drawings.
Free Booze AND SNACKS available from CW, no need to leave your machine. Geezer Acts Th, F, Sa, Su. Email notification of promotions. What do you want from a slots joint for the Geritol Set that still serves Ham and Eggs for 6.25 or a burger for 7.50?

I agree though,,, Jokers Wild is just down the road!! Much better.

Skyline is not much to get excited about, but I am partial to small older joints. Even though the big casinos are not cookie cutter identical, they kind of feel like going to a different big block store. Like Target, Sears, etc, kind of the same, but stuff in different places. Old places are irregular, and sometimes in decline, but like an old comfortable chair.

You walk in the diner, and marvel that the waitress may have been working there when Frank Sinatra was a young man. And 50 years later the food still not any better than before.

Yes, the smaller and older places have "character" .... and characters. Fewer offerings. There may be only one craps table but its the same crew and same players.
Sort of a "proud that we ain't no big box" spirit.

> And 50 years later the food still not any better than before.
But not much more expensive than before either.

Venetian????
Its probably the safest casino despite having the second worst slots payout in town. And it has some of the oldest hookers in town! Its the top spot for craps dealers and BJ dealers too probably.

Larry's Hideaway is a country western dive bar near the North Las vegas airport, it is not a strip club. You are thinking of Larry's Villa, that is the strip club and it is nasty.

BTW, Larry's Hideaway closed down recently.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

What happens at a Grade Z strip club? Do the patrons shout "Put it back on, put it back on" or do the patrons offer tips so as NOT to get a lap dance?

As to Siegal Suites, they fax all ids to the cops, so if you have unpaid fines or warrants for anything at all... you pay for your room and an hour later half the swat team is there to take you away but leave your luggage and pets to fend for themselves.
