Newest casino in Vegas - six reasons to hit up the east side's version of Red Rock:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=W_GX-Y-dbmS5WWMcvP3RYg\n\n1. Ok well it's no Red Rock.  The Boulder Hwy casinos are like a newer version of downtown, with more modern amenities and a more mixed crowd, but still kinda cheap.  So if you like low limit gambling like $5 blackjack, craps, and roulette, and 1-2 NL and 2-4 L poker, this place is for you.  This new \"Eastside Cannery\" is the latest, with a cool \"Rosie the Riveter\" retro theme.\n\n2. On this opening Thursday night, the place was really hoppin.  The blackjack and craps tables were all completely full:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=dNek-585lb4cDkZ3rltNYg\n\nBursting at the seams even:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=UotxL53yD4xk8l--NxHCww\n\nI've been to the Palazzo a number of times and I've never seen the tables there even half full, honestly.  This place will give the big casinos on the Strip with their high limits a run for their money.\n\n3. Nice little sportsbook:  \n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=iPvy5RYGgXxuQBjmqJuWcw\n\nJust after this photo was taken, the lady in pink yelled \"Bet it all on the pretty horsey!!\" and then collapsed in a cloud of second hand smoke and foundation powder, which I thought was exciting.\n\nThe half pound burgers at the Deli next door are solid, very Whopper:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=ayiWVcVfzKrf_O1aRlEz2g\n\n4. Nice little poker room:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=Hy79W1ER8nK49eDfo3Mo9A\n\nThe 6 tables were split three 1-2 NL (looked like some pretty good action) and three 2-4 limit (also known as \"a slow way to die\").  I briefly considered playing but then remembered how much I hate that game nowadays.\n\n5. Slots!  Lots and lots of slots!  Ebay slots:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=XtKm5YY9WyrzqzyIoGoL4Q\n\nI'm amused that ebay slots are no different than any other slots, same rules, they just have pictures of purses and shoes on them.\n\nAnd Lucky Fortune slots:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=zeT99v-phTkOAYnUcH-eVg\n\nAnd Wheel of Fortune slots:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=dthVjmiV41g-ITGkaNr1ow\n\nI would play slots but I like games where you can, like, win.\n\n6. A 500 seat bingo hall for the Hells Angels mainline heroin crowd:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Zvnm7o2eMaYAEHS8YRn_EQ?select=dDPionTyj6hhTh941ti0yQ\n\nSo the Eastside Cannery is \"doubling down\" on the old school Vegas staple of cheap low limit gambling that the Strip seems to consider beneath itself at this point.  No uber rich Asian businessmen or Middle Eastern oil magnates here, just the low rollers.\n\nThis night that approach seemed to be working, with not an empty table in the house.
