You know, the kind that take and pay coins, rather than paper. The second level of The D Las Vegas, formerly Fitzgerald’s, is dedicated to classic slot machines.
Unless you know where to look, you might just miss this one. Early slot machines often paid out golf balls, gum, candy or cigars. These gorgeous relics of a bygone era are art in their own right. There’s even a slab of the Berlin Wall in one of the hotel’s restrooms! The hotel also has a collection of classic slot machines on display, just a few feet from the hotel’s registration area. The Main Street hotel houses surprises at every turn, including rare antiques and art from around the world. The candle typically denotes the denomination of the machine. Only in Vegas, baby! SlotZilla even has a “candle” on top, just like real slot machines. This one-of-a-kind slot machine has video screen “reels” and a massive, animated arm, simulating a true slot machine experience. Guests can fly down the Fremont Street Experience on two levels, the upper Zoomline (114 feet up) or lower Zipline (77 feet up). The SlotZilla zip line is the world’s largest slot machine, standing a towering 128 feet tall.
Not surprisingly, we’re starting with the biggest, baddest slot machine anywhere. We’ve gathered a few we consider must-sees during a visit to downtown and Fremont Street Experience. Slot machines are everywhere in Las Vegas, but in downtown Las Vegas, there are some that truly stand out.
