Best Place to Play Bingo
GOLD COAST
4000 W. Flamingo Road
Bingo is something of a ritual, and so is spelling out C-O-A-S-T for the fourth year in a row, though Sam's Town is a new face in second place. The Gold Coast faithfully calls out 10 sessions a day (on the even hour). The free coffee and doughnuts at the 8 and 10 a.m. sessions are a nice touch. But if you win their $100,000 to $250,000 quarterly "Extravaganza," buy some for everyone else, OK?
Our Pick:
ARIZONA CHARLIE'S
740 S. Decatur Blvd.
When we get that insatiable urge to play bingo at five in the morning, we know just where to go. Charlie's 24-hour bingo room has become one of the few things you can depend on in this world, but that doesn't mean it rests on its laurels. A recent development is "Hotball," a progressive side game where you bet a dollar on the first number drawn in a game, which wins you $250 if you bingo with that number in a subsequent game.
