Took these photos of the interior 3 days before it closed. Not great photos, but they let me take them (which was not too common at that time):
My wife and I went for a fancy dinner, not aware that it was closing. There were only 2 other people in the casino other than the very depressed workers. We played a few hands of blackjack, just to play. I kept a $5 chip because they didn't have any $1 chips left. "Those people got them" we were told. The atmosphere was so sad that when we got to the restaurant, and there was no one eating there, we just left and went somewhere else.
