It's a shithole. You're not missing anything. The sportsbook has a whiteboard too, it smells like a toilet, and they have three TV's there that are jealous of AAO's...

cankid, I like downtown very much. Wouldn't spend all my time here if I lived here though, the nearby poverty is kind of overwhelming and depressing. But yeah, the good numbers seem to hang around here.
That is my sentiment too. I've noticed that Americans aren't as awestruck by it as much as some of us born elsewhere. Not sure why.

Trop, last I was in, was a Leroy's outlet. All dry-erase lines are outdated, but at least as the Leroy's outs, you can go to the machine and get the latest lines. But bet more than 100 and they'll put you on hold while some guy at "central" looks at you on camera (no kidding) before approving your bet.
Downtown, check out Lucky's (Union Plaza). Was a good out last year. And El Cortez is South Point. Golden Nugget is indie. Golden Gate and Fitzgerald's are Leroy's, if they're even still open. But I'm dated on ownership.
4Q is CalNeva. Isn't Fremont as well? Or is it Binion's is CalNeva and Fremont is Coast?
Now that we're on the subject, if anyone has the latest ownership's of downtown books, would be cool to have an update.

There's a delay, but Leroys accepts bigger bets than any book in vegas.

Any wager over $100 requires central authorization from Leroys - no matter if it's at a kiosk or at a window.
Anyway, downtown ownership:
California - Boyds
Fremont - Boyds
Fitzgeralds - Leroys
Golden Nugget - Golden Nugget
Binions - Cal-Neva
4 Queens - Cal-Neva
Plaza - Luckys
El Cortez - South Point
Golden Gate - Leroys

Only place I have ever stayed there is the Nugget and each time thought it was dandy.

I stayed at the California once, but only really tried out the bed LOL. I'm pretty sure Leroy's joints have the best lines (for baseball) but don't quote me

There was a really good $1 hot dog just down the way in a souvenir shop too. Good eating for the all night drunk walking the downtown with munchies.

TY, Monkey.
Is Boyd's Gold Coast, right? Same ownership so, same lines?

That only means that someone has to approve it, but they take huge bets without a problem.
