Lodge life has come to Las Vegas. The Silverton Casino Lodge’s recent, $40 million renovation brings a Wild West vibe to the popular off-Strip property — a favorite gambling hall for locals and visitors who enjoy the outdoors.

So-called “Class III” or resort-oriented properties are strictly limited in terms of slot machines and table games.
 
Yet, despite this, Valley Forge Casino – which lies immediately across the street from the national historic park of the same name – has always been competitive with the other casinos in the area. It recently surpassed larger Harrah’s Philadelphia in its monthly gross.
