Scaring up silver at my favorite haunt!

[Immy]

Spooktacular results again from the casinos downtown. Eight 40%-ers (66, 68x2, 69x5) from $1000.

BTW, a legendary Vegas resort hotel, The Stardust, closes its doors for good tonight. The Strip loses another part of its history.

Congrats on the bootiful finds!

What the heck is wrong with Vegas; I can't believe The Stardust is closing too! Well I still have that money clip from The Stardust that I found while metal detecting. It was a keeper when I found it and now it's also a little piece of Vegas history.

8) Nice Job, Immy! Get 'em while they still have 'em!

I guess the Stardust Couldn't compete! Who wants to go to a Gambling Casino anymore?

Now, It has to be an Entertainment Complex Too!

What is left? All these old casinos have been biting the dust over the past few years and winding up on tv shows about building demolition!

Are there any of the old classic casinos still in existence? The Horseshoe? Ceasars Palace is still there isn't it?

Oh yeah, there are still a lot of originals left. Caesars, Flamingo, Sahara, Riviera, Tropicana, Circus Circus and a lot of new ones, Paris, MGM Grand, Bellagio, Excalibur, Mirage, New York New York, Rio, The Palms, Luxor, etc.

Downtown's casinos were all small properties and some still survive, Golden Nugget, Horseshoe, Fremont, etc. but some have closed, The Mint, Lady Luck.

Gone are the Hacienda (now Mandalay Bay), Dunes (now Bellagio), Desert Inn (now Wynn-Las Vegas), Sands (now the Venetian), Landmark (now a parking lot), El Rancho (now a highrise condo project), Aladdin (imploded in 1998 and a new Aladdin built on the site).

More than half the big hotels that were here when I moved here in 1985 are history.

BTW Immy...i'll be harvesting all the remaining silver in Vegas in 9 days...sorry about putting you out of business like that!

That's just plain awesome Immy. You are certainly have a great year.

Anyway you convince the Vegas Gamblers to put a casino in Podunksville Kentucky so I could have a place to dump halves? LoL I would worship the ground you walk on if you or anyone could pull that one off.

Congratulations,

Rev

Heck, if you live in Kentucky, casinos are pretty close....Metropolis, Illinois (where they actually have a statue of Superman in the town square). Aren't there some riverboat casinos near Cincinnati?
