    Nice walk through 😊 I remember my Grandma talking about always staying there multiple times a year and she loved the place ❤ I believe it was shortly after the place opened 🤯 I can't wait to see it for the first time in October and I've been going since 1988 😆

      @@deanvoss7098 Go to the non smoking room at the Plaza, enter non-smoking room by the outdoor bar. Fill that area for gaming, maybe it will get much larger on the beancounters radar and increase. Its pay rate seems a bit higher than other areas in downtown Vegas.
