60 year old Sahara closing doors

Ouch!!    I guess they're trying to use the sale to make back some of what they lost in the casino.

I would have asked you to see if they had any 15-column blackjack trays with lids separated from the tables (with the lock and key, or unlocked), but with sample prices like those, fuggetaboutit! 

If might have been worth looking at some slot chairs, too. Oh, heck, I'm glad I'm not there! There'd be too much temptation for me anyway, and all at outrageous prices. I might have even been tempted to drag home one of those huge Big Six wheels with the money on the wheel and under the table glass. You know, the ones that have horrible odds and only sucker bets -- all mine for only $1200 (JUST $1417.20 out the door ), marked down from $1900!

The reason no one saw any activity with the Sahara Slot Machines.  A casino in Laughlin purchased all of them.

My in-laws used to live in Vegas. I would go to the Sahara with one of their friends who was a high roller. The valet would welcome us & say, Hoppy, we have a table for you. Your car will be there waiting for you.
It was great fun. We  use to go to the Desert Inn, Dunes & the Tropicana, oh, Albertson's  Food,  Kmart, Von's, Smith's all had some kin of machine.
Now we stay with friends on the South Shores, Lake Las Vegas, Henderson.
The good old days  when a dollar was worth, ???, almost a dollar.

Now, Billion Dollar Casino's & Hotels are the norm.

I wonder which Laughlin casino bought the machines? Hope it was The River Palms, that place has removed over half of their machines. Owned by the same group that runs the Tropicana Express it looks like they are slowly closing the Palms down.
