A sad find on a Nevada road trip...
« on: June 19, 2014, 10:42:50 AM »
Happened along an abandoned casino on a recent NV road trip. Among the ruins and remains of a once thriving casino and motel, there were blackjack tables, slot stands, keno tickets and promo coupons fluttering in the breeze, gutted slot machine cabinets, partially destroyed stools, and other remnants of days gone by. Multiple poker cabinets were strewn about outside, monitors gone or broken, the insides gutted. Vandals and vagrants had obviously spent there fair share of time in the main casino and motel.


As we wandered through the remains, we came upon what was apparently the "slot shop". On a double stand in the center of the small room was these 2 beauties...the dry NV desert has preserved them relatively well given almost every door and window have been broken out of the place.


THANK YOU MOD for fixing my pics!  :yes:

Wow...no one even commented. Guess everyone's minds on the "here and now", with little to no regard for the past...interesting. Anyway, it was an awesome, although sad find. Same machine is for sale for $3,000 locally. I guess that just shows the different generations of "collectors", if one could call them that.

I wonder why they would leave stuff behind and not liquidate the contents of the building first. I love exploring abandoned buildings, thanks for posting Roz I think it's really interesting.

It had been boarded and secured at one time, then vandals, vagrants, or thieves wanted in. Here's a pic of the outside...

Naw, it's Nevada, for sure!!! Really sad walking through it, we were told about it by a guy we bought an old game from. Apparently, it's been like this for quite some time. For some reason, it was really sad...promo tickets with people's name, address, phone, and signature, an old stone fireplace, chairs and lovseats around the harsh, just sad. In the back old poker cabs were strewn around like trash....wild horse/mustang "nuggets" everywhere, tumbleweeds blowing by, doors flapping in the wind. A real "ghost" town. It was really weird...almost frozen in time. Across the highway was the "lodge" which burnt, along with about 15-20 little 12x12 cabins/Apartments? Once upon a time, this was a mini metropolis...at least a stop or maybe even a destination for travelers through Nevada. Now, just a sad, sad, skeleton of what it used to be.


And you know me, I'm thinking WTF?? Where are these machines reported to be in NVs Gaming books? How did someone just cast them out and not look back?? Are they reporting these games every quarter? How is all of this just abandoned and discarded?

JUST noticed this post... I never saw it on the "main feed" of NLG!
This makes me sad, shocked and appalled at the same time. I understand places being abandoned but can't comprehend the sick people that vandalized this place with no regard for the history! It's amazing those two old slots were just sitting there... stuck in time, waiting for repair so they can go back to the floor of this ghost casino, never to be played again.
Thanks for posting this. I'm glad I saw it, but it give me a heavy feeling of sadness as well!  :-\

Me too, I feel sad when people destroy historical/ abandoned places  for no reason :( I find it the saddest when people do it without thinking and just for the thrill

Thank you for the post. I'm assuming this place was in operation way before slots and other games were tightly regulated—i.e. detailed coin in/coin out statistics and payback percentages?

I was wondering whether any places exist in Nevada where you could still play pre-RNG slots, and apparently you can't because of the regulations?

I was in Laughlin about 15 years ago and the Pioneer Hotel and Casino still had two Mills high tops in operation. They were set apart on the main floor near the restaurant. The last I was there about five years ago, they had been mounted on a shelf up high just to be decorative.

If this place is still standing it would be good for a day trip.
