A recent closure of one of the last live keno lounges on the Strip has shed light on casino operators’ shifting business approach to the game.
There are dwindling options for a live keno lounge player. On the Strip, Caesars Entertainment ended lounge operations at Harrah’s in mid-November, telling guests to play at Horseshoe resort-casino.
Downtown has fewer live places to play as well. Recent years have seen the closure of lounges at multiple downtown properties like El Cortez and Fremont. Even Station Casinos, which operates several of the remaining lounges in the Las Vegas Valley, did not build one into its newest resort, Durango.
