Terrible's, Vegas

Terrible's Casino, Las Vegas

So the casino's parent company began as a chain of gas stations, and we're told the name comes from this big scary terrible baby-eating cowboy who lurks in front of their various outposts. So it has some history behind it. On the other hand, the company's in the middle of Chapter 11 proceedings, and I have to wonder if giving the place a more appealing name might help attract a wider audience. I don't see how it would hurt, at any rate.
