[edit] Largest bingo hall?

I have seen some references that indicate this was the largest bingo hall when it opened. Can anyone confirm? Vegaswikian 06:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I found this story http://www.rgj.com/news/stories/html/2004/03/28/67267.php near the bottom it says, "The Western Hotel and Casino opened as a bingo parlor in 1970, when it was the world’s largest bingo parlor with 1,020 seats; slots were added later." Sounds like it might be one of the references you already know about though. Dv82matt 04:09, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Actually that is a differnt source then the ones I saw. But I agree that it probably is safe to add that fact to the acticle. Vegaswikian 04:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
