I spent a lot of time doing my homework in the Fremont Hotel Cafe when I went to high school in 1968.
The slot manager knew me and my family in Pittsburgh and would comp me to dinner so I would not have to spend money and go hungry or thirsty, particularly when it was really hot ( he asked me if I wanted to eat. I was too shy then to ask him )
& I would sit and watch people, eat and do my homework and then walk around the casino and walk home late at night.
Back then buffets like at the Mint were 99 cents but you could get coupon books at hotels and motels that lowered the cost as low as a dime.
