EW: The new walls for Kokopellis showroom are up...floor to ceiling. The
main entrance is a double door down the center stage corridor. The Oasis bar
lost 11 play stations (now 19 Game Kings left). They are building a stand alone
service bar for the showroom, but no VP.
I guess some of us will have to get over losing a favorite live
music/VP/drinking for three sets play. Probably no more carry-in drinks either. Hopefully
a cover won't be instituted. Brian, stated that the first scheduled show is
March 31st.
Another change is the north curtain enterance is now sealed. This means the
old Deuces games do not get much air circulation. Hopefully they will figure
that out.
Over at the Golden Nugget that new Harlows coffee shop is open. Not really
that much different from Jane's Grill. The kitchen is still open air. I
scanned a menu...$8 omelets and burgers. But you just get potato chips for the
burger, no fries.
None of the great $2.99 breakfast specials or the $5.99 T-Bone dinner made it
up from the old coffee shop. The downstairs area is now boarded up and the
room has been gutted.
Landry's also boarded up a 60x30 foot area right by the main casino
enterance. The word is the pit will be moved here with a higher ceiling. This should
be interesting to see.
River Palms still amazes with the crappy service. You really get spoiled by
hanging out at Harrahs.
