Dammit, that really sucks. I really hope they run again someday. It'd really suck to see them get dismantled or still be abandoned. Neither sound good.

Didn't Buffalo Bill's used to have a Drop Tower outside as well as more attractions like a 3D theater to the right of the Desperado entrance? I can't remember if the tower's still there, but if it isn't, then there's one for getting dismantled alongside how whatever used to be to the right of Desperado is now gone. I think the ticket counter for Desperado and other rides even used to be in that same area as well.

I don't know for sure, but I believe the tower ride has been gone for a number of years.

Here's a video from three months ago (not mine), which mostly focuses on the abandoned log ride, but also gives you overall views of the current state of the casino.

 
My friends and I used to love stopping there on our way to Vegas, like if we left on Thursday Night we might even stay there for the night and get to Vegas the next morning

When I was younger my dad got us the day pass to ride the rides as much as we wanted and the log ride was super fun. I also brought life to that side of the hotel....if they do get rid of the ride, I hope they would somehow find a way to keep the area in the hotel and fill it with water again

On a different note, I finally got to go on the newest Big Apple coaster with the Premiere Rides trains, and it was definitely much better than the time I went in 2018, though it was still quite shaky.

Of course, the TOGO track is still to blame, but it's a smoother experience overall now.
 
They're charging separately from Adventuredome to ride?

Major L
I don't know if it is...I don't see any info on where it is besides at the hotel

But even if it's somewhere else in the hotel....its like cool one 20ish min's thing for 15-20 bucks? Cool but I doubt I ever do it unless invited to for free
 
$20 just to ride this that takes like 15 minutes? Yikes. And I'm going to Vegas next month.
I think the Big Apple Coaster ain't much better. Pretty sure that one is $20 as well even if you get re-rides for cheaper. Still sucks though. :/
 
Honestly, you have to keep in mind... its Vegas.. so the price tag isn't that shocking, unpleasant, but not shocking.

Also if they plan to actually give this new ride proper maintenance & upkeep, then nobody should complain about $20 to ride it. Part of that money most likely will go to operation/maintenance.

Just have it as an add on to adventure dome for 20 bucks and unlimited rides and deal

But it’s really hard for be to pay 20 bucks for a ride under 10 mins when they literally have a theme park at this hotel
