Casino Update. I visited both casinos today and all machines are dark and empty. The LV Club cage said their strikes were sent back. The Plaza said their strikes were picked up today for meltdown. The casinos were purchased by Barrick Gaming Corporation. It is expected to have new strikes in the same machines in about 3 weeks. So they say. Anyone want to place a bet? There have already been layoffs as the new owners move in. Any additional information is welcome.
