Fun was what the El Rancho did. They held a sale and you actually could go from room to room and buy the items. In the lobby was everything else for sale. Bingo boards, postcards, room keys, you name it, it was for sale.

It was held in the summer and they had no air conditioning. I heard stories of people going thru rooms and finding chips. Maybe a husband hid some from his wife or somebody dropped one behind a piece of furniture. I went to the top floor and figured I'd work my way down. Well after a few mins I left the rooms. The first one I went into stunk. Homeless were living in the hotel prior to this. Pigeons were also living in there and many died. Needless to say I didn't find any chips, but did buy quite a few things downstairs. Barry
