Steven P.Steven Peterson: The mural above the bar at Fathoms is called "The Birth of Clams Casino" and it is a ridiculously bizarre depictions of mermaids preparing pigs for the slaughter.

Wil S.Wil S: Good location...horrible parking, hotel feels like a holiday inn but more expensive. Check out and go elsewhere.
