More BJ coming to Downtown?

[Sonny]

It looks like there may be a few more tables coming to Downtown courtesy of the Gold Spike:

“The new owner plans to transform what is one of the dingiest dives in downtown Las Vegas to a trendy hotel and lounge complete with a spa and several new bungalow suites called the 4spa & Bungalows… The upgrade would include an overhaul of the casino, a new restaurant and reintroduction of table games that were removed after the previous owners bought the Gold Spike from longtime operator Jackie Gaughan. He is also considering adding a sports book.”

I like how one city official put it:

"(The Gold Spike) has got a great sign out front, but that is where it stops."

No word on what kind of games they’ll offer, but you can guess what kind of dealers they’ll have.

To give you an idea of the place...

They are known for their 99-cent breakfast, $1 beers and $1 shots (as indicated in the picture below). Funny story: I used to play there in my silver-chipping days. After taking a break I decided to use a “Free Drink” coupon from the American Casino Guide at the bar. The bartender didn’t recognize it so he called over the manager. Sure enough, the bar manager refused to honor the coupon. I guess he was pretty happy to save $1. I was upset, but I didn’t really care since they let me get away with a $3-$40 spread in their SD game.

I remember being dealt to in the Gold Spike by a dealer with a swastika tattooed on his hand. That's usually something you get in prison, but if he's an ex-felon he couldn't get a gaming license, could he? So I have to assume he was a real live Nazi.

That's certainly grounds for not hiring someone, though.

if gold spike mgt. calls in the boys from stanley steemer to remove the smell of dog piss, its an instant leg up on the western.

What do you mean? The guy is obviously a mindless fool who is easily brainwashed and despises people. He’s perfect for a corporate casino job! At the very least he should be working security.
