Why is last call before mid-night?? Is the place that seedy that they have to shut it down on the early side?

The answer to that question is yes. This however is based on conditions from 5 years ago. I'm not sure why they aren't open 24x7 again.

Even with the recent renovation of East Fremont 2 blocks west, I would consider the immediate area around Atomic Liquors (and it's neighbor the Western Casino) still seedy. I would recommend a daytime visit.

Here's a link explaining the early closure:

Actually that last link made Atomic Liquors seem pretty grim. Remember it's from 2003.

Here's a recent article from 5 months ago:
