I once lost 12 hands in a row of blackjack there. I should of stood up and walked after 4 or 5 but was a stubborn idiot and kept digging myself a deeper hole...the "boom" in Boomtown was the sound of my wallet exploding... :sad:

Sure is....you'd think with it being at the intesrsection if the I80 / I5 corredors, it would be a gleaming large volume TS like the Iowa80....but no. Go figure, there's a ton of E-W, N-S truck traffic to draw from.
Probably too late to expand given what's happened to real estate in this area.
