With apologies to the Black Panther movie franchise….
Today was a travel day and I headed out early to head northeast towards Bartlesville. I had seen big signs promoting the Luck Star Casino and it’s huge payouts to patrons. I was quite surprised to find this:
Not exactly the opulent excess I was expecting… And even though this was facing the road I was on I thought maybe it was the back of the casino so I went into the parking lot and drove around to the other side.
Wrong….
This post creates a dilemma. These images are labeled to indicate I took them on June 5 at 812am. In researching this post, however, I see that the Lucky Star Casino locations are all west of Oklahoma City, including the one in Watonga (and to their defense, most of their locations are more opulent than this).
I don’t remember exactly where I took these photos, or the exact route I took up to Bartlesville. I can’t think why I would have backtracked to Watonga (or El Reno, their location closest to OKC). Perhaps this was a temporary location further east which has since been abandoned. Nonetheless, I found this an interesting conflict with my usual image of casinos….
