They are for sure going to tear down that hotel now. There were rumors that it was going to be done because the hotel doesn't really offer anything unique or upscale aside from Lance Burton's magic show.

I personally loved this hotel. It was cheap, non-crowded and located in a great part of the strip. It's a great place to gamble because it's quiet. They even had $5 Black Jack tables at night which is hard to find on the strip in the evening. Good place!

4 people from my work (2 couples) were actually staying there. They got evacuated and called in to work to tell us.
