booted out of the joint? Sweet, indeed! My Silver Saddle collecting story: having been tipped off that "nobody" gets a hot-stamped $1 out of there, I girded my loins, screwed up my courage, took a deep breath and walked up to the Cage to ask for one. No luck! But when I asked for a $5 chip instead - the Lady shrugged and said, "Sure, it's your money." So I walked out with at least a $5 memento of the place. Oh, and I played a slot game and hit a couple of dollars in jackpot.

Remember: You're Silver Sad-dle if you go away empty-handed, but Silver Glad-dle if you can outfox them and get any sort of chip. Too bad the place is gone now. I would love to go back just to say "Nyahhh nyahh nyahh" to them.
