Maxim160 East Flamingo RoadLas Vegas, Nevada 89109 Casino Closed A Little About Maxim The Maxim closed its doors in August of 2001. The hotel had been in deep financial trouble and had been operating without its casino since a two-week closure in December of 1999. A court-appointed receiver is seeking a buyer for the property, which is located a ten minute stroll down Flamingo Road from the Strip. The Maxim was the site of a terrible blackjack beat suffered by my friend Tim, the legendary "Waxin' at the Maxim." In the middle of a bad run, my friend Tim throws the last of his chips into the circle, then has to go pocket-fishing twice to fund a split and a double-down, only to have the dealer pull a 21.
