Description
Bar inside the Stardust with bartenders behind the counter and two people, possibly bar patrons or servers, stand on the other side. To the right, it looks like the Keno area of the casino (see Image 0024 pho024182). A row of small bar tables and chairs line the left wall that has an intricate design. The bar sits in the center of the room and has many black and green barstools around the counter. The color photograph was taken before the casino was renovated in the mid 1970s.
