Here are my first 10 impressions after about an hour at Lucky Dragon Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
The casino and hotel are in different buildings.
The hotel room is very red because of the windows. Check out this view of the Stratosphere.
The wall of flowers behind the bed is pretty.
Use the indoor walkway between the hotel and casino in the winter or summer.
There are two High Limits rooms but no High Limits Slots. The area is open to the public.
Dat Dragon tho!
The Pagoda bar comps Saki when playing video poker.
The casino is tiny with under 50 tables and 300 slot machines.
The bar shows more than American football (Dog show!).
All of the slot machines are new. Nothing is vintage at Lucky Dragon.

Marc grew up on the mean streets of the South Bronx. He's the rare combination of Yankees and Jets fan which explains his often contrarian point of view. He learned about gambling at a young age working down the street from a bookie who took action on anything from the mainstream sports to the last three digits of the purse for certain horse races. Yeah, that's a thing. Today Marc is a freelance writer and social media consultant which allows him to work anywhere there's a wifi signal. This allows him to work from the sportsbook at Red Rock Resort or the food court at The Venetian where you’ll find fast and free wifi. Writing about steak, booze, gambling and Las Vegas is a tough job but somebody has to do it.
Are all the slot machines video machines? Good article. I appreciate all the details.
Thanks!
Not all video. The mix of video and reel is similar to most casinos. I’ll have more on the casino shortly.
