Larry, glad you had a good time and came home with some cash. Too bad you didn't find the little Nugget to be more to your liking. I still like the place and Awful-Awfuls are great burgers. Some years ago they offered giant sized drinks and pretty good drink service even at the slots. That does seem to have fallen by the wayside. Ah well, at least they're open - the only beacon of gambling life on that once great stretch of Virginia St.

Larry, It looks like you were there for a few week days. I expect downtown comes a little more to life on the weekends. I was there for some cold week days at the end of February and beginning of March and I agree that much of downtown was pretty dead Monday thru Wednesday. On Thursday there were signs that life might be returning. That led me to conclude that the weekends might be busier. Maybe "Double Dollar Jackpot Time" even resufaces on the weekends. I hope so. That little tune going every 15 minutes was part of the place's charm.
