Since the Castaways is a "locals' casino" there won't be a lot of people prone to researching vacations to LV (like people who visit this site) who will leave the Strip or downtown LV to go visit the Castaways.
That's my guess as to why there's not much response.

They had announced that it was about to become HOLIDAY INN CASTAWAYS, and then a while later said that they were filing for bankruptcy. The place seems to have lost it's identity since it changed names from the Showboat. They would have done better to "upgrade the Showboat" then to change the name and try to attract a different crowd, I think.

Been to Vegas 3 times, and can't even recall seeing this word "showboat" in the tourist booklets.
