yes, it did exist, but was closed in 1978.
The Lotus Hotel and Casino is based off of a real life casino in Las Vegas which closed in 1978 and a ficticious version appears in The Lightning Thief. The movie version is made so an hour in the Casino is a day in real life, you never get older or want to leave. Percy, Annabeth and Grover get stuck there but manage to leave when Percy realizes he's playing a game with someone from the 70's. He manages to clear Annabeth's senses by talking about spiders. Grover is dragged out. When they leave, the hero's realize 5 days have gone by, because when you eat there dish ''The Lotus Flower'' you are then put into a 'trance' that makes you not want to leave.
The lotus came from the old Greek legend of Jason and the Argonauts. In the legend, Jason and his sailors landed on an island with lotus flowers all over the place. Whoever ate the lotus flowers would forget who they were and what they were doing on the island in the first place. The Lotus Casino was a modernized version of this.

I think the same machine can not be found in real life. But in virtual - I think it's easy. First, of course, you need to choose a casino. Personally, I do this on the guruslots .com - only proven and reliable casinos are collected here. You can also read detailed reviews and get a bonus.

The Lotus Hotel and Casino closed in 1978.
Nico Di Angelo was 10 years old when he went to the Lotus Casino
The car in the Lotus Casino & Hotel is infact called a Lotus! No Lotus has a back seat ... it's a Maserati 4200 GT. The corporate logo for Maserati is the Trident (Poseidon's Trident).
There is no such thing as The Lotus Hotel in vegas.
