I haven't been there in many years, since it was the Gold Strike, but sorry to see it go. I took a bus junket there once when I lived in the LA area in the early 90's. Stayed there once too. I seem to recall doing well there and the Nevada Palace in my card counting days in the late 80's.

I'm surprised to see it last as long as it did. I've driven past it countless times on my way to and from LA and the parking lot was practically empty every time.

They did okay on weekends but weekdays were poor. That area and Stateline did well before all of the casinos in California opened.

I did a number of bus trips to Primm and Jean between 2001-2005 and enjoyed the casinos. Buffalo Bills, in particular, had a BJ game one could exploit. I'm not sure what happened but the whole thing went south somewhere towards the end. Buffalo Bills still manages to bring in some good concerts and I'm amazed how busy it can be on a Friday/Saturday night but I have no idea where the people come from.
Wasn't there talk years ago of building a new airport in Jean?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

The property across from the old Gold Strike was Nevada Landing, not Nevada Palace. It resembled a Riverboat.

When Nevada Landing was torn down MGM had plans to turn that area into a huge residential area. The recession of 2008 killed those plans.

MGM owned both Nevada Landing and Gold Strike at the time.

I believe they acquired both of those from their Circus Circus acquisition.

I haven’t been to Vegas in a long time, need to make an appearance but is the Terrible’s on Flamingo & Paradise still open? I remember playing Bingo frequently in there.

Yes it is open. The name was changed to Silver Sevens about a decade ago.
