Lady Luck Defunct In The Distance Still Listed On Travel Websites

Lady Luck, defunct, as photographed from a distance earlier in 2013.  It will reopen as The Downtown Grand.

I typed Lady Luck Las Vegas into Google, and was amused that there are a few travel sites which still offer Lady Luck as a hotel choice to book a room.  I am intentionally not identifying those travel websites, but if you search on Google as I did, you will find them.

Lady Luck shut down years ago and was gutted quite a while ago.  Yet there are travel websites which show it as having rooms from the $30 range with a few star rating.

El Rancho sign can be seen in the reflection.

This view is not possible anymore.

Everyone is covering the kid who took a trip to Las Vegas.  In a way, isn't that all of us.  Good to see you.

Las Vegas - Abandoned Key Largo Casino On Fire Right Now

The old, abandoned, Key Largo Casino in Las Vegas is on fire at present.
Key Largo closed in 2005.  The neon has long been off, the signs gone.

Terribles Hotel & Casino is not far from Key Largo, so for people staying there today, this will be one of their Las Vegas stories.

Key Largo had a small coffee shop which was known for an inexpensive but good, hamburger special. The only occasion I ever went in that restaurant, I was seated promptly but left before ordering as they took too long to take my order.  Probably in excess of 15 minutes.

At a quick enough place it is possible that I would have been getting close to paying the check and leaving in 15 minutes.

That's too bad though because it had a nice coffee shop aroma, and I'm sure that I was hungry.

In all likelihood I went to Ellis Island and got pizza.
