What is the current physical status of the Opera House Casino in North Las Vegas? I know it was sold to the company that owns Dotty's, but is the building still there or have they torn it down already. My understanding is that Dotty's is going to build completely new.

thanks

Thanks. If you happen to be driving up the Blvd. in North Vegas, please take a look for me.

I will be in the area next month and if I remember, I will drive up and
take a look. Maybe stop in at the Bighorn.

Thanks, Dumb Pickle, that would be helpful. By the way, I have only been to the Bighorn once, and I thought it sucked. I have been to its sister Longhorn many times. Actually, it sucks too.

If you want to hear a Popinjay sad story and give me some sympathy, once several years ago I ate Christmas dinner, by myself, at the Longhorn. Pretty sad. lol

That is a very sad story. Maybe when T.Bagger and I finish our game, I
can drive up to the old Opera House Casino and see if I see anything.

If I can get a friend to go over to the Downtown Grand with me soon I'll detour to the location and take a look.

Thank you, Smart Pickle. How recent is that? For some reason I was thinking it got torn down in the last few days. I'm probably wrong (as usual).

Thank you, that clears that up. I don't know where I got the idea, I must have read something. Maybe I had a dream about it.

Thank you for your effort. Seriously, I appreciate the trouble you went through to document this for me.

No trouble. I did have to get up a little early to drive to North Las Vegas from Laughlin, snap a photo and be back by noon to meet my girlfriend for lunch. Plus, I forgot my nice Nikon DSLR so I was going to have to resort to my smartphone, but then the battery was too low, so I had to go to Walmart and buy a cheap digital camera.

BTW, for anybody who is in Las Vegas and is interested, tomorrow everything in the Riviera is going on sale. What's everything? Everything inside, craps and blackjack tables, slot and poker machines, beds, chairs, tables, lamps, TVs, dishes . . . . everything. I'm going to check it out.

I showed up for the Stardust auction...mainly because of the stories I heard from old time dealers about what might go up for auction. I found the prices way too expensive...even for crappy stuff.

Jesus, Paul- this guy kisses your ass more than I do. What's up with that?

I'm going to be at the Riviera tomorrow and will see if I can spot him. If I can get a picture the other 'pickle' will pay beaucoups bucks for it.

I'll be "safe" because I'll be with an ex-boxer/cop. Internet cowards like myself can never be too careful.

lol holy shit, you did all that for lil' ol' me? Heck, just going to North Vegas was trouble enough. I do appreciate it.

Hey, I don't want to take advantage of your generous nature, but there's a crack whore I know in North Vegas who owes me $10. She lives with a Cuban drug dealer and I'm sure he's a real pussy when he's not wearing his AK-47 around his shoulder and a Colt 45 under his armpit. Are you busy tomorrow?

Yeah, I guess I've got a new friend now. I'll give him some giftcards for Mervyn's when Christmas comes around. And needless to say he's totally comped at the Roadhouse now. And what's Dumb Pickle done for me lately anyway? He can have HIS comps.

I will be in Vegas at the end of the month (thinking about flying out on

Yikes! The green monster comes out. I knew you were a little faggot.

Every time someone mentions hot girls, strippers, Vegas topless pools, Thai hookers, or HOOTERS GIRLS ...

"Hooters is pretty much ignored by locals. It's a place you see when you drive by. The whole waitresses "with big tits" thing is juvenile."

... you become super uncomfortable. lololol. You're a little queer with a big crush on Popinjay.

I knew it. Oh, and by the way, the red/black game is zero (not minuscule, zero - not small, zero) advantage. Your stupidity will shortly be added to the Guinness Book of world records.

Will you be joining one of the pickles and I in Las Vegas? You're not scared of a pickle are you? I won't let him hurt you.

Someone handed out my email and now I'm getting Ted Cruz emails near daily. That happening to you, Pop? Gotta say, Ted's has one trash talking election team. They'd be great tilt artists at BARGE.

No, that hasn't happened to me. But I do still get email for penis enlargement. And one of these days I'm confident that one of them will work.

Thanks. But don't send me to the Roadhouse when risky is there. He probably hits 17 and thinks he has a nice advantage in all casino games.

It's worse than just hitting 17. Here's a clip from our Surveillance Department the last time Risky was at the Roadhouse. He has a nice looking girlfriend, though.

$2 beer at the Longhorn. Aren't the slots there pretty good?

By the way, I've thought that Reza Risky is as gay as Christmas for quite a long time.

It's weird, because some of the people with the biggest hard-on for Islam in the West are gays and feminists.

Although, it's easily understood once you realise that most of them are profoundly libtarded. Not a single one with an IQ in 3 digits.

My notes say they have PNSU Deuces at 98.91% and I don't know if they have any mailers. They frequently have 2 X points which adds up to .4%. I know there are a few progressives, both at 25-cents and dollars which are decent games but I've never seen them rise enough. I remember when they had a couple full pay deuces in there but they are long since gone. I just haven't spent much time there.

The Bighorn has a couple progressives I would be interested in if the meter rise was faster. But they crawl.

They have a large placard over the front door listing their X points promotions. I didn't look at it closely. I thought they had promotions on it for more than 2X.

Do you deny that you support the ideology of ISIS?

lol It's amazing how stupid you Muslims are, you have Europe held captive right now but don't you know how this is going to end? Have you read your history books? rofl, Of course you haven't, you only have one book, the koran, which is why the Muslim world hasn't contributed a single thing to humanity in centuries besides humans.

Old Europe will never roll over and die to Muslim scum. Don't you realise it's going to end in gas chambers? lol And you asked for it.
