Silver Star Resort & Casino  

Hey maximax8! Yes, it is a huge place. I guess I like both, myself. I know the economy is bad but maybe someday you will get to see the Mississippi River. I hope so, anyway. Kathy.

Hi GardenGerty! I don't gamble, either, but it's a very nice place. Maybe someday you'll get to see it. I sure hope so. Kathy.

Hey antiquelady! I wish I could afford to go again. It's about 238 miles from here. I started to go back in 2000 but I had car trouble when I got outside of Tuscaloosa and ended up having to go back home! I was so disappointed! I wasn't going to spend the night this time, though. I was just going to go for a day and come back home.

I'm glad to know that the Indians are doing well, myself.

Yes, you have to go through Tuscaloosa to get there from where I live. I'm sure you've heard of Tuscaloosa, haven't you? It's home to the University Of Alabama and the Alabama Football Team. I just thought you might have since you seem to keep up with college football so much. I'm sure you remember Bear Bryant, don't you? He was the head coach there for many years. Kathy.

well poo, that was bad luck. It really sounds like a fun place to go.
yes, i have heard of Tuscalosa & OF COURSE I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT OL' FOOTBALL TEAM. LOL. Go Vols!!! THAT WAS MEAN, HUH. I HAVE DEFINITELY HEARD OF 'THE BEAR". Hey, us folks in TENNESSEE KNOW ALOT OF THINGS.

I just thought all of the mylotters would like to know about it. I'm glad you enjoyed my discussion. Maybe someday you will get to see it. I sure hope so, anyway.

Reckon it's due to the economy the way it is, the reason why they can't fill the rooms up? That was just a guess of mine, anyway.

My family and I came to Las Vegas when I was 4 years old. We were on our way to California to visit relatives when we decided to pass through there. We didn't like all of the gambling places but we wanted to see what it was like. Mother told me after I got a little older that she, daddy, and my two older sisters wanted to walk through one of the casinos but they wouldn't let us in because of me, lol. Anyway, we did spend the night in Las Vegas and we saw the Golden Nugget. I don't remember any of this but I have seen post cards that we bought while we were there. Mother told me that we also saw Hoover Dam. Kathy.

Yes I enjoyed your post very much.
and the Golden Nugget is still there under the experience lights dome.
Dont know why they wouldnt let ya in for ya can walk thru with kids to go eat.
but they really cant be on the gambling floor So a quiick walk thru is what ya get lol.
My dad drove nitro to the dam from LA in the mud also worked on parts of it.

That was 1956 when we were there. Maybe things have changed a lot since then. I guess I'm giving away my age when I say this, lol. Actually, I don't mind telling my age. I'm 57. Kathy.

No problem the first time I came to Vegas was 1957 and I still wasnt gambling age.
but I hit the ones at the gas station for fun lol.
Oh Las Vegas was very small back in the 50s Boy how its grown!.
The last few years the sky line has changed so much that you wouldnt reconize it as it was back then.
and I think its so sad that they have put in high rises and big casino resorts.
To me it has lost the charm it had back thien.
and I am 69

That's right. You never know what's going to happen next in life. You just might get to go someday. You never know. You made a point when you said that the slot machines were probably put where they are to tempt you to put in your change. I never thought about it that way. I just know that gambling is a sin and I was taught to "yield not to temptation". This is the title of a song we sometimes sing in church. Happy mylotting! Kathy.

Hi Jan! I have been missing you the last few times. Where have you been? It's good to see you back.

No, no Billy Ray. When I first got on that shuttle bus, one of the hotel employees came on and asked us if we minded if an entertainer rode with us. The majority of the passengers were Indians and wouldn't say anything. Finally, I spoke up and said we didn't mind. I couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be Billy Ray because I knew he was supposed to be there in concert that night. I also thought that it might be some of his band members. My second guess was the right one. I can't remember the keyboard player's name but he kept us laughing all the time. He was so funny!

I started to go back to the fair in 2000 but I had car trouble when I got outside of Tuscaloosa and ended up having to go home! I was so disappointed!Kathy.

Hi anniefannie! How are you doing these days? I hope you are doing much better.

I tried to go back to Philadelphia in 2000 but I had car trouble when I got outside of Tuscaloosa (you have to go through Tuscaloosa to get to Philadelphia from where I live) and I ended up having to come back home!I was so disappointed!

I wasn't going to spend the night this time, though. I was just going to spend the day and come back home that night. It's only about 238 miles from here.

Maybe I will get to go again sometime in the future depending on my financial situation. Kathy.
