Then when I turned 18. With the little money that I had. I would go to Legends and either win or donate.

Legends has gone through a lot of changes over the years. I remember there used to be an arcade. And at one point in time. There was a waterfall in the middle of the casino.

But Legends Casino hotel brought in several events. From MMA to boxing matches. To comedy shows and concerts. And many other events, including the pow wow and stick games.
