There are signs of life at the Lady Luck casino in downtown Las Vegas, which closed its doors four years ago for what was supposed to be a one-year hiatus. Remodeling and expansion plans have been submitted.

Honest John's Casino:
Located at 304 Ogden at the corner of third Street in downtown Las Vegas. Open between 1961 and 1967 as a newsstand, Honest John's only had slot machines. Andrew Tompkins purchased the casino in 1964 and changed the name to Lady Luck in 1968. Until he could get new $1.00 slot tokens made, Tompkins used Honest John's tokens with a sticker on them that said Lady Luck.

Lady Luck:
Honest John's Newsstand at 206 North Third Street, downtown Las Vegas had 17 slot machines when it was purchased by Andrew Tompkins in 1964. He opened it as Lady Luck Casino in 1968. A new hotel tower was added in 1986, and another in 1989.

"Friendliest Casino!" "Best Place to Gamble" - 1999 "Nevada Magazine" poll. Located five miles from McCarran International Airport, the Lady Luck Casino Las Vegas is one of the brightest jewels in the Las Vegas Downtown area.
