    There's a new one going up in Marshall, too. I guess they're working on the rest of the parking structure right now, and the inside details of the actual casino. If I could've gotten the contract to wire that, I don't think I'd be driving truck. :)

    The company I work for is supplying most of the "plumbing" everything from the underground stuff to the crapper.

    Try Harrahs at Kansas City, they have a nice well lit parking area for trucks. A bit of a walk but maybe they have a shuttle or something I don't know. They treat you pretty well. Great facility and guess what? I won!!!

    The Cherokee Casino/Resort in Tulsa has a large parking lot for trucks across the street. I-44 x240A North. The truck parking will be on the right (a bunch of construction equipment in there now). There's a small side street, go east on that to the first driveway on the south. It's a long walk... call the casino operator and they'll send the shuttle, otherwise it makes rounds every so often.

    Good for just parking, resting, eating or whatever but notoriously bad for taking your money 'cause everyone except truckers thinks we're so full of it that we drop nothing but gold nuggets in the toilet. I do find some very useful in the winter when all the regular spots are full or have too much ice that hasn't been scraped in weeks or possibly even between glacier movements from one Ice Age to another. My fav is the Pauite Palace in Bishop, CA on US395. Okay, so in all fairness it's not the most prestigious, racy or elegant, but I have a tactile reason in stopping there for the night mainly to determine if I can take the pass or need to side-step it in the winter.

    As far as Mesquite is concerned, they seem to be making changes on a regular basis. I sure would not count on being able to park there any more. Maybe yes, maybe no. May depend on which day of the week, the weather, or if management is wearing uncomfortable under shorts. I just don't know.

    There used to be some decent truck parking down in Primm, NV, right at the NV/CA line. Don't know if there still is or not.

    The economy is screwing with the casinos just like it is with everything else. So changes are going to be the norm. . .

    Railroad pass south of Vegas on the 93 toward Kingman/Laughlin/Needles has some truck parking. IMHO their gambling isn't very good, nor is their food.

    The city passed some anti truck ordinance.
