The first thing is the name. It's not Slots O' Fun or Slots OF Fun, but Slots A Fun. What's that all about?
Second, many casinos on The Strip brag about their food offerings. At Slots A Fun, it's Subway Sandwiches and Noble Roman's Pizza. This place doesn't smell like money, it smells like yesterday's Ragu.
But you're not here for the food, you're here for the penny slots. That's right. Though they've cropped up everywhere, this is the home of the penny slots. Think about it. If you're playing penny slots, your goal is not to win money, it's just to lose money less quickly. Players at Slots A Fun are pre-defeated.
Or just cheap. After all, the casino also advertises $1 table games, $1 and $2 craps, and 50 cent roulette. You're welcomed to Slots by the Big Sand Creek slot machine, which may be the biggest slot in town. (I could make a sexist comment here, but I won't.) It stands over 6 feet tall and fills the doorway, so that strangers can watch you lose from across the street. Next to Big Sand Creek is an open air craps table, designed, I suppose, to lure in the sucker which is born every minute.
In the men's room, I saw this sign posted next to a bin by the sinks: "Please place needles or other sharp objects in this container." Draw your own conclusions.
