Time stands still in this mall - hotel complex. Herberger's closed 8 years ago, Payless closed 7 years ago. There is a casino, and the hotel didn't seem to clean up their balloons from some earlier party. There are signs that says guest only beyond the casino. On the main road there still stands a Herberger's sign. The main draw of the mall is a JC Penny's store.
