The COVID-19 shutdown is shaking Las Vegas to its foundation, and casinos are expected to look very different when they reopen, at least temporarily.<\/p>\n

Some changes will be permanent, however. We’re told reliably Texas Station is closing its bingo room for good.<\/p>\n

Texas Station is owned by Station Casinos, and it’s unknown which, if any, other casinos in the Station Casinos family may follow suit.<\/p>\n

\"Bingo
This is a bingo “dauber.” The most popular dauber color is purple. That’s going to win you a bar bet someday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bingo is popular with many Las Vegas locals, and Station Casinos uses its network of bingo rooms to offer generous progressive jackpots.<\/p>\n

The typical bingo parlor in Las Vegas pulls in<\/a> a meager $1,000 a day.<\/p>\n

The demise of bingo at Texas Station could very well be a harbinger of things to come. Bingo is essentially a loss leader some Las Vegas casinos can no longer afford to provide.<\/p>\n

Update (5\/6\/20): Following our story, insiders say dismantling of the bingo room at Texas Station was halted. Word is Texas Station will not reopen until 2021.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
