Oh Wayne!
You have been missing out on one of the best kept secrets of Las vegas!
Ellis Island Casino is one block south from the corner of Flamingo Rd. and Kovall (on Koval). It's basically behind Balley's ....an easy walk from the strip, but they do have a small parking garage too.
Make sure you try one of their micro-brews or a home make rootbeer - excellent! They have great bar-b-que and a daily $4.95 steak special there. We try to always include at least one meal from Ellis Island in our Vegas trips.
Log onto www.ellisislandcasino.com and check out the menu options.
After you fall in love with it (like we have), don't tell any of the other tourists!
