They just opened up....sort of. Just 50 people allowed at a time and it is by invite only. This is a big casino and they can't make money with only 50 gamblers.
Yeah I saw all of that in the news here. Kind of silly for a sprawling, large casino. I haven't been the since before 9/11/01. I honestly preferred the old boat (Northern Belle) and art gallery casinos before this permanent location.
The old art gallery...wow you do go back in time. There was a few decent games in those games. Brings back lots of memories.

Might have some value to a collector. There is a dollar chip from Northern Belle on Ebay right now. They want 6 dollars plus 22.00 shipping. Really shipping costs are of course just a way to get the price up.

A friend of mine was selling the 25 cent chips from the 3 on this side of the river and making decent profit on them.

Not with the current border crossing restrictions that are in place.

My wife and I kept this coin from Stratosphere in 2006 where we stayed on our honeymoon. We really miss the good ol days when you had a bucket full of coins and just walked around dropping a few in a machine, what fun!

Do you not value your life! There are rides on top of the Strat that take you over the edge....not this guy!
Ya Wildman I miss those days as well, but not the dirty hands that went with it.
