“the world's largest stuffed polar bear”
White King, The world’s largest stuffed polar bear, stands proudly above the entrance to Elko's Commercial Hotel and Casino White King, allegedly the world's largest polar bear was killed by a brave Eskimo in Alaska and purchased by the casino in 1958
The casino is permanently closed we found out today. No idea and could not find info on where the bear is now.
no kids allowed inside
We stopped by on the way out of town. The bear itself is inside and on other websites I had read they had post cards. Leaving the rest of the family in the car, I headed inside to inquire about the cards. Once I finally found someone and asked I was told that they haven't had them for 40 years. Oh well, the kids like the giant polar bear on the outside of the building.
Ever hear the one about how to catch a polar bear with peas..
The casino is permanently closed- through the right side entrance door you can still see the bear inside
Great little pit stop. It's a sad story but the bear is really remarkable to view in person.

I didn't know polar bears were made of plastic and have peeling paint for fur. Ridiculous
This is a quick stop while driving through town. Aside from the bear, the carpet provides a chuckle. But the main attraction here is a casino that happens to have the polar bear. Park, walk in, grab a photo, and get back on the road.
If your into oddities its a good place for a pit stop.
