      Yes it is. A whole lot of Hawaii people go to the Cal, Main Street and Fremont. The new casino is right next door and will have a huge impact on Boyd Gaming. In fact, the Cal was doing major work to their casino last time I was there to step up their game.

        Nah, not that much. Much of the Hawaii people go to the Boyd casinos and not the D or Golden Gate as much. Many don’t like the loud music blaring at the D and expect this new casino to be just like the D and GG, more for the younger people but not the older Hawaiian clientele.

    Time to see these old school joints before they become sweet memories.

    Place was like a ghost town when I last visited it. Had the Las Vegas Jerky Store in there. Where did they move to. Would have been a good purchase for the Boyd Hotels.

    Don’t like slumming it in downtown Vegas. Those places are rat infested.

    Finally, that place is a disaster.
