Handpay on The Walking Dead Slot in Las Vegas, Nevada

3 June 2018

It was a wonderful feeling - until the handpay itself came, and I was given only $1120. Why? The $480 difference was the 30% withholding tax (in cash) that the casino is required to hold by the US Government, for all players without a USA social security number. [...]

Bye Bye Riviera Hotel Casino Las Vegas

17 August 2016

I was reading today that the final towers of the Riviera Las Vegas Hotel and Casino were imploded today, some months after the old hotel towers were imploded. This event now completes the implosion of the Riviera Hotel and Casino property, leaving the land vacant and ready for the Las Vegas Convention Centre expansion to begin.
