Maxim

Way before their was a Maxim Magazine, there was a Maxim Casino, just off the strip. I can't even remember if the old building is still standing, but I think it was sort of behind the Flamingo/IP. It stood decaying (or still stands decaying) for a long, long time. But I'm pretty sure it closed long before I could have gone there. And I'm too lazy to look up any facts.



Update!!

Blog reader Matthew H. (wait, that's too descriptive, let's go with M. Hoppe) has alerted me to the fact that the Maxim is still standing and still open... but as the Western Causarina. Which I have been to and have their house chip. It's kind of across from Bally's. Well, across from the Bally's Employment Center which is behind Bally's.
