Venue History
The vintage Town Hall Casino and adjacent Mini-Price Inn were a classic off-Strip fixture located at 4155 Koval Lane in Las Vegas. Opened in 1985, the property offered an inexpensive, low-key alternative to the massive resorts lining Las Vegas Boulevard while remaining within easy reach of the city’s major attractions. Eventually operating as the Days Inn Town Hall Casino, the hotel contained roughly 357 to 360 rooms. Rather than competing through elaborate themes or headline entertainment, Town Hall emphasized affordability, convenience, and traditional Las Vegas amenities. A 1988 Nevada tourism publication advertised a 24-hour restaurant and piano bar, heated swimming pool, whirlpool, sundeck, and tour, show-ticket, and car-rental services, in addition to the casino. The gaming floor was comparatively small but originally offered both slot machines and live table games. Town Hall issued its own distinctive casino chips and tokens, artifacts that remain popular among collectors of vanished Las Vegas casinos. By the late 1990s, the property continued advertising live table games along with its hotel accommodations and restaurant. Town Hall’s character reflected an increasingly rare style of Las Vegas property: a straightforward neighborhood-scale casino/hotel located only blocks from the Strip, yet largely independent of its spectacle. Guests could gamble, eat, swim, and stay affordably while having easy access to Bally’s, Flamingo, Caesars Palace, and other nearby resorts. Around April 2000, Town Hall eliminated its live table games, leaving a smaller slot-focused casino. By early 2004, reports described the casino as containing roughly 100 slot machines attached to the 357-room Days Inn. The end came in 2004, when financial difficulties led to the property’s closure. Harrah’s Entertainment subsequently acquired the site, and the former Days Inn Town Hall Casino was demolished. Although Town Hall never achieved the fame of Las Vegas’s major resorts, its nearly two-decade run made it a familiar Koval Lane landmark. In modern Las Vegas, it represents the disappearing generation of small, inexpensive casino hotels that once flourished in the shadows of the Strip’s towering resorts. Today, the Town Hall property sits as a vacant lot.
