This machine is no longer here. The listing stays up because collectors come back years later to check whether the one they remember was real.
From collectors
1/15/2016 rainforest cafe is at 3717 LV blvd. No longer in a casino. New designs from those shown here. I'll scan and update when I get home.
***Called the MGM August 28th, 2015 and was told that the restaurant is closed indefinately. The restaurant is scheduled to move to Planet Hollywood in summer/September 2015. Rainforest Cafés' website gives the address of 3717 Las Vegas Boulevard South as the address for the new location. This is the address of the building next to the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino where the Bubba Gump restaurant is and across the street from the Harley Davidson Café. No information if the 3 penny machines will follow. MWHTH***
Rainforest Café is a themed restaurant chain owned by Landry's, Inc. of Houston, Texas. The first location opened on February 3, 1994. Each Rainforest Café restaurant is designed to depict some features of a rainforest, including plant growth, mist, waterfalls, animatronic robots of animals and insects. Some animals include elephants, gorillas, jaguars and the recently added tigers. To enhance this theme, the restaurants are populated by animatronic figures.
