I went three days before it closed, not realizing that it was closing (we had dinner reservations there but the atmosphere was so depressing, we changed our mind and went elsewhere). There were only three other patrons in the place. All of the $1 chips were already gone. I asked if I could take pictures and I was told (twice actually) "no one is going to stop you."

I wish they came out better. If I was not so weirded out by the sadness of the employees, I might have taken my time and got better pictures. As it was, I shot these two and we played a few last hands, got a $5 chip and left.

It was not a happy visit.
