BREAKING: STATION'S 8-HR CASINO OPEN ON TUESDAY

Station Casinos imploded the former Castaways on Boulder Highway in January 2006. According to the law, they have to have active gaming on a site for eight hours every two years to keep the gaming zoning designation.

That day has come, rather quietly. Station is opening a trailer from 8 am - 4 pm on Tuesday, Jan. 8. It's just a bunch of slots operated by United Coin, which is pocketing the proceeds. They've done pretty much NO publicity.

If you're unaware, the Castaways site is at 2800 E. Fremont Street. Here's a Google map.

Should be a fun little off-beat slice of Vegas history. I'll have pix tomorrow.

Here's a geek question. I think Tamares has to do that with the Hotel Nevada. I think it is on Las Vegas Blvd. across from the out of town bus station which is at the south edge of the Plaza parking lot downtown. I'm just sure I read this in the R-J last year. Does any of this sound familiar?

What is the history behind this law? It seems a little crazy to me.
