“The majority of people that come here are really nice, friendly and polite,” he said. There are regulars, families and sometimes tourists who come to play. Shawn Gresser said there are a variety of people who come to the pool hall. Now the pool hall has doubled in size to become an 8,000-square-foot room with 24 tables, a raised bar and 15 video poker machines. When it first opened in 1991, Mickey’s was a 4,000-square-foot pool room with 16 pool tables. Before the shopping center was constructed, it was the site of the Day Dream Ranch, where locals used to ride horses, swim in the pool or just hang out.
Shawn Gresser said Mickey’s was the first building built in its Eastern Avenue shopping center. He said his father guided him and taught him important life lessons about the family business. He worked as a bricklayer and helped manage the pool hall in his spare time. Shawn Gresser followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the construction business before becoming the co-owner of the hall.
He saw how popular pool was among the locals and decided to give the business a chance.Īfter 23 years of physical labor, Gresser decided to open his own pool hall with his family when he was in his early 40s. One place that stuck in his mind was Cue-Topia, a pool hall that seemed to be thriving. While in Las Vegas, Gresser saw a lot of opportunities in the flourishing economy of the city. Gresser and his wife, Robin, and son Shawn moved to Las Vegas in 1990 to continue construction work without the long commute. After driving for eight hours a day, Gresser decided he needed a change. He studied at William Adams High School in Pennsylvania and soon after graduation became an ironworker.Īs an ironworker, Gresser had to travel constantly from Allentown, Pa., to Atlantic City. The founder of the pool hall, Michael Adam “Mickey” Gresser, was born Nov. Its friendly environment and large space have kept pool players coming back to the family-owned business for 22 years.
