The New Hilton Poker Room

Hilton Poker Room Conversion

Don’t you just love what they’ve done with the place?

I went to cash out my Patriots/Eagles ticket today, and got this grainy cellphone shot.

It is now “Wheel of Fortune World”. I kid you not.

I tried to take another one where the “Wheel of Fortune” is lit up (it lights on and off from left to right), but the security lady came over and started screaming at me for aiming my camera at the thing.

Something about Bin Laden using Wheel of Fortune slot machines to take over the world.

I always thought those things were evil.

Seriously, I don’t know what the lady was babbling about other than “you can’t take pictures here!”

Obviously … I can (see photo above).

One short month ago it was a nice poker room, this month it is several banks of “Wheel of Fortune” slot machines.

I think I spotted two people in there. Both elderly.

Make of it what you will.

Update: I took this one last night with the sign lit up. VegasRex: 2, Security Biyatch: 0
