This is where the movie "Casino" was made, its a shame. But they thought that there was going to be some mega resorts near it's location to help boost revenue. Unfortunately the Fontainebleau and Echelon resorts are on hold.

I am shocked Scan. You mean they made a movie with a slimy politician from Nevada in it and they used Harry Reid as the model?
