I drive by this place everytime I head to Laughlin or Havasu and for some reason it interests me. Not much online about it except for a couple of strange reviews. One site lists it as having 1 table, any idea what it is?
As a side note, I am still trying to get the smoke out of my clothes and hair from when I stopped in at the Terribles in Searchlight months ago.

I stopped by briefly once to verify that the table is no longer used, with no chips for me to collect. A lady working there said she didn't expect to see it open again, but the owner still had some chips somewhere, if I wanted to check back sometime when the owner was around. I think rdw4potus made a similar stop and inquiry.

I drove by there and pulled into the parking lot, also with the intention of collecting a chip, but after having stopped at Terrible's Searchlight, I didn't even bother to get out of the car.

I played very lousy VP there on ancient machines long enough to get a comp bud light. Not much to see there really. It is old and dirty. The bartender pronounced the name of the town as "Cal Neh-Very" which was not the obvious pronunciation to me.

My wife and I stop in there every time we are going from Vegas to Laughlin which is three to four times a year. In the eight or so years I have been stopping there, I don't ever remember seeing a table game.
As a side note, I think it may be the only location in the U.S. that still has a Sneak a Peek video poker.

Sneak a Peek is a video poker variant where you know what the first card will be when you draw. Basically, after dealing out the initial five cards the card on the top of the deck is displayed. It changes the strategy of many hands. Especially your hands where you would hold four to a straight or flush.
