Plaza

Don’t skip over the Plaza Hotel’s low-priced casino, located in downtown Vegas. You can’t miss it, with an exterior overloaded with flashing lights, often described as a landmark on Fremont Street.

If you’re looking for a contemporary casino, this isn’t for you. The dimly lit casino feels like it’s from a different era… and that’s because it is. You’ll find the staff very friendly and attractive and that they serve good strong drinks.

The Plaza has over 1,000 slot machines with nickel and penny slots and video poker machines in an 80,000 square foot area. You can play keno, poker, reel games and progressive slot machines.

There’re also over 40 tables. Try a game of roulette, craps, blackjack, split aces and paigow poker, which replaces Chinese dominos with poker cards.

Tired of the same old? Find the Fetish Pit, with attractive blackjack dealers and Go-Go dancers that get your heart racing. Plaza turns the heat up even higher with the Firefly Pit, complete with a party pit platform and even hotter ladies, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m..

The Plaza also has the best bingo room in the downtown area. Sessions are at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m., and 9 p.m.. If you cover 52 squares or less, you get $10,000. Get $5,000 for 50 squares or less, $1,000 for 51-55 numbers and $500 for 56 numbers or more.

If you buy-in between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., you’ll get a free blue pack that gives you a chance to double your earnings. Get a second chance coverall between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., with prizes ranging from $125 to $500 in Free Slot Play.

They also have a keno area, an easy game with thousands of combinations possible.

Lucky’s Race and Sports Book has extra proposition and futures wages not found anywhere else in Vegas. Bet on daily pari-mutuel in tracks and future odds. There’s 118 seats and 10 televisions.

There’s a poker area, though it’s not a separate room from the rest of the casino. There’s three poker tables near the pit of the casino floor that offer daily no-limit texas hold’em tournaments at 1 p.m., 5 p.m. and 10 p.m..

Plaza has one of the best player’s clubs, with guests receiving at least $250 worth of free play on the first day of sign up. The free Plaza Play Club gives you invitations to special events and tournaments. You can earn a free $5 slot play for every 500 points earned past 2,500.

If you’re disappointed, don’t cross The Plaza off your list. Keep in mind that they’re still renovating, so be sure to check in with them later to see what they’ve done with the place.
