Arizona Charlie’s Decatur

Arizona Charlie’s Decatur is located at 740 Decatur Boulevard and is actually in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur is not particularly close to the Strip. Located in the Mount Charleston area, probably the nearest casinos that many out-of-towners are going to make it to are either going to be The Stratosphere (technically the Northern terminus of the Strip) or any of the Downtown casinos; AC Decatur is a little over four miles from either of those areas.

Located in a shopping plaza, this is one of the, ‘Smaller,’ Casino hotels, by Las Vegas standards, coming in at a relatively trim 258 guest rooms and suites and 59,000 square feet of gambling real estate.

This casino would first open in April of 1988 and is currently owned by Golden Entertainment. The property was originally built by a family with the last name of Becker and actually started out as a bowling alley.

The property would file bankruptcy in the late-90’s and would be extended credit from investor, Carl Icahn, of Atlantic City fame. Eventually, Icahn would come to own the property as they were unable to fulfill their debt obligations to him. It came to be owned by American Casino & Entertainment Companies (who owned four casinos, at their peak) and was bought out in its entirety by Golden Entertainment, in 2017.

With that, let’s see what this casino has to offer its visitors (mostly Vegas locals) these days:

The first thing to note is that this might be something of a value property for those looking to stay in Vegas relatively cheaply—as long as they don’t mind being a few miles from The Strip and Downtown scenes. Weekday rates are sometimes under $50/night and weekends can often go for under $100…of course, all of that is off the table if it’s a high traffic date or special event.

Naturally, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur charges a Resort Fee (because almost everyone does) and theirs is $18.99/night. According to their website, the Resort Fee gets you:

Resort Fee Includes These Values:

2 bottles of water per stay;

Self and Valet Parking;

Unlimited in-room and 1-800 calls;

Unlimited fax/copy services;

Boarding printing;

In room coffee & refrigerator

Which seems suspiciously like the same stuff they offered before having a Resort Fee, but I guess you’ll have that.

Aside from that, they have a seasonal outdoor pool and offer Internet access.

The property is home to a few bars and lounges, and on occasion, one of these will have live entertainment. We would recommend checking their website for more details as it doesn’t seem to be a default that something along those lines will be going on.

In of the casino offerings, the property is home to nearly 750 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines. According to VPFree2, as with other Arizona Charlie’s properties, they are said to have several video poker machines returning in excess of 99% (assumes Optimal Strategy) and even four games with returns to player over 100%. Apparently, the 100%+ games are all at the quarters denomination, so this is a great place for Video Poker enthusiasts to visit.

Table Games include Blackjack, Craps, Pai Gow Poker, Roulette and Heads Up Hold ‘Em. Arizona Charlie’s makes it a point to say that the Blackjack is 24/7, so presumably, the other games aren’t; with that, you might want to call for the usual times of operation if you are looking for a specific game.

The property is home to an apparently active Live Bingo room, so you can click here for the schedule and more information on that. As of the time of this writing, jackpots seem to be regularly updated on their website.

Open from the morning to late evening hours, the William Hill Sports and Racebook location places an emphasis on excellent viewing and comfortable seating. You might not expect that a locals casino would have such a nice sportsbook, but they do.

The property is home to three dining establishments with most guests stopping at the Sourdough Cafe multiple times throughout their stay. This American Casual diner-style restaurant has this to say about itself:

The Sourdough Cafe at Arizona Charlie’s Decatur is home to Las Vegas casual dining at its best. It’s the perfect setting to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner in between playing your favorite slot machine or table game. The diverse menu is a definite people-pleaser. Enjoy family-style, oversized portions and other great selections, with some of the best deals in town at this Las Vegas cafe, breakfast specials featuring sirloin steak & eggs or ham-steak & eggs have been voted “Best Breakfast Special” by the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Open 24/7, this will be a great stop for you to load up for breakfast, lunch or dinner at whatever time you like. That’s quite the nicety as many Las Vegas casinos (post-COVID) seem not to always have a place to grab a proper meal in the middle of the night. By Vegas standards, the prices are pretty cheap…not the cheapest out there, but far from pricey.

The second dining establishment and coffee drink place is a Dunkin’ Donuts, which is one of the largest such chains in the United States. You’ll probably end up there if you want a specialty coffee drink, and in my experience, I have a more favorable opinion of their food items than I do Starbucks…and the beverages I would rank about the same.

PT’s Express is a watered-down version of PT’s Tavern, which is a popular mini-restaurant chain in the area. This restaurant basically serves American Sports Bar food at about the prices you would expect…similar to an Applebee’s. Just don’t expect a very diverse menu with the, ‘Express,’ location…this is mainly about speed and convenience.

Overall, we would recommend Arizona Charlie’s Decatur to Las Vegas visitors who want decent room rates and great Video Poker…who don’t mind having to take a little trek to get to The Strip or Downtown…which you certainly will…because the dining options here are quite limited.

For those who are interested in more than a, “No frills,” experience, it’s hard to recommend. We also wouldn’t recommend it to anyone traveling with kids as there are Las Vegas properties specifically designed with family travelers in mind.

We really can’t emphasize enough how good of a Video Poker stop this is, though.

Buffalo Bill’s

Buffalo Bill’s is a surprisingly large casino located at 31700 Las Vegas Boulevard in Primm, Nevada, which is right on the border with California. This casino is often a first stop for people driving to Las Vegas from California and is sometimes a destination for California residents who live in the nearby area.

Readers should know that this casino CLOSED during Covid-19 and remains CLOSED as of the time of this writing. However, we have reached out to Primm Valley Resorts and were informed that the intention is to reopen as early as May 2022 and no later than September 2022.

We don’t exactly know whether or not they will be coming back with the full offerings that they had at the time they closed, so with that, we will talk a little bit about the property’s history and leave the specific offerings for when they reopen.

First opened in May of 1994 with an Old West theme, the property would finish its second stage of development (namely, another hotel tower) in 1995 and would reach its current room and suite load of 1,242 rooms.

The property was originally owned and operated by MGM Mirage and would be sold to Herbst Gaming prior to MGM Mirage becoming MGM Resorts International. It is said that Herbst would target Spanish-speaking clientele (smart strategy, given the demographics of that area) and would focus on having Spanish-speaking dealers and other staff. For those of you who primarily speak English, don’t worry, plenty of English-speakers there and the property will be a fun place to practice a little Spanish, when it reopens.

Herbst Gaming changed its name to Affinity Gaming in the early 2010’s and there you go! We will look forward to the return of Buffalo Bill’s and will update when the time comes.

Hoover Dam Lodge

Hoover Dam Lodge is the former Hacienda and is interesting in that it is located on private property surrounded by the Lake Mead Recreational Area—a few miles from the Hoover Dam. This property occasionally draws visitors who are more interested in outdoor activities, but want a small casino to hang out in at night.

In addition to formerly being the Hacienda, it operated as the Gold Strike (also known as Gold Strike Inn) from its opening date in May of 1958 until 1998, when the property was ravaged by a fire.

The original casino was primarily owned by Don Belding, and a couple of others. The property would then be sold to sons of the owners who held it during the time that the fire took place; reportedly, the hotel itself emerged mostly unscathed. The name, “Hacienda,” was licensed from Circus Circus Enterprises who were also using the, ‘Gold Strike,’ name elsewhere. With that, a casino named, “Hacienda,” once existed both here and on the Las Vegas Strip, at different points in time.

The property would be purchased by Nevada Restaurant Services (owners of the Dotty’s chain and a few other casinos) in 2013 and would be rebranded as Hoover Dam Lodge two years later.

As it sits today, the property is home to 372 guest rooms and suites as well as just shy of 21,000 square feet of gambling real estate. Located along U.S. West 93, it is nearly thirty miles south and west of the Mandalay Bay on the Southern end of the Las Vegas Strip proper.

As of the time of this writing, Hoover Dam Lodge has no Resort Fee, which is nice, considering that they could probably get away with it—everyone else does. Currently, their website’s online booking seems to either not work or not exist…with all attempts to click, “Book Now,” just scrolling back up to the property’s phone number.

You will NOT want to use their toll-free number as it is currently disconnected. As of the time of this writing, you will want to call 1-(702)-293-5000, which will get you to a general line and then they can direct you to an operator that can take bookings for this location.

Generally speaking, weekday rates can be expected to be right about $100/night if there is not high demand with weekend rates being slightly higher than that. New Year’s Eve rates on standard king rooms were $139.99…so we would suggest that rates don’t tend to deviate from average as greatly as some other Las Vegas area casinos.

Guests will enjoy access to a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, complimentary wireless internet (and, with no resort fee, it actually is complimentary) as well as a 24/7 arcade if you happen to be visiting the Hoover Dam area with kids.

Similar to Laughlin River Lodge, the property is divided into miniature themed casinos and have the same themes, so please be directed to that listing if you want to know what that’s all about.

In total, the property has a little over 150 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines, no table games and a small William Hill Race and Sports Book. Again, gambling is kind of a secondary concern for both this property, and generally, visitors to the property. It is listed on VPFree2, but apparently, nobody has really gone there to check paytables and it has nothing specific to say. Maybe go update that site for them if you happen to be there!

In of the dining, that’s also the same spread of eateries that you will find at Laughlin River Lodge, so rather than be duplicative, we would direct you that review.

If you’re planning a trip to the Hoover Dam area and your main reason or visiting isn’t gambling, but you wouldn’t mind having access to a few machines during your downtime, then this might be a property to consider. For anyone else, there’s really no reason to visit.

Indian Springs Casino

This casino closed several years ago.

Primm Valley Resort

Primm Valley Resort is located at 31900 Las Vegas Boulevard, unsurprisingly, in Primm, Nevada. As with Buffalo Bill’s, this casino is a little over thirty miles South of the Las Vegas Strip and will mostly attract gamblers who live in the region near the California state border. Sometimes, people will stop in on their way to Las Vegas when driving in from The Golden Bear State.

Originally opened in 1990 and home to 624 guest rooms and suites as well as 37,779 square feet of gambling space, this is on the lower end of mid-sized, by Las Vegas casino standards.

It was originally opened as the Primadonna Casino Resort in 1990 and was owned by a company of basically the same name. Similar to Buffalo Bill’s, it would go on to be acquired by MGM Mirage, whose Primm properties were sold to Herbst Gaming, which itself was bought out in its entirety by Affinity Gaming—the current owners of the property. At one point, it was rebranded as a, “Terrible’s,” but that only lasted a few years.

Room rates here are extremely cheap, with slower weekday dates (as of the time of this writing) being d at under $50 for the slower demand season and weekend rates being well under $100/night. That said, when it gets busy or if there is a special event, you can expect higher rates…New Year’s Eve, for example, is almost $150/night for a standard room in 2021.

Still, you can pretty much rely on this to be one of the lower priced Las Vegas area properties—but that’s mostly because it’s not really in what anyone would consider Las Vegas. Folks booking online should also keep in mind that their d rates (and even final price shown) does not include the $18/night Resort Fee.

Aside from the wireless Internet, there’s also a fitness center open most hours of the day.

The property is generally home to a Bonnie and Clyde Exhibition, but it’s on loan elsewhere as of the time of this writing. The property is home to a movie theater, but that is also closed as of the time of this writing…hard to tell whether or not that will be coming back.

Their major Event Center is Star of the Desert Arena, which canceled all events as a result of Covid-19 and does not currently have any events scheduled as of the time of this November 2021 writing. You can check their website here to see if that has changed.

One of their bars, The Tipsy Buffalo, has live entertainment every weekend, as of the time of this writing. I’m not quite confident that is always the case, though, so you will want to call and inquire as to a specific weekend if that is important to you. The Stage Bar also features lounge performers, sometimes, but again we would have to recommend that you call and inquire about specific dates.

The casino floor is home to roughly 900 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines ranging in denomination from pennies to $25/credit…but that’s between this location and Whiskey Pete’s…about 550 of these are at this location specifically. According to VPFree2, the Video Poker paytables suck.

The property is home to twelve Table Games of which eight are Blackjack, two are Roulette and then one apiece of Craps and Three Card Poker. You’re probably going to want to call for hours if you are looking for anything other than Blackjack.

The property is home to a small William Hill Sports and Racebook location. This property is also the place to go if you want lottery tickets—I guess they are close enough to the border to be permitted to sell them. They advise guests to be in line to buy two hours before closing time when the jackpots are high—wow!

They have a steakhouse that they can’t decide whether to call GPS Steakhouse or GP’s Steakhouse, since their website says both. The sign on the steakhouse says GP’s, with the apostrophe, so that’s what we’re going with. They have this to say about it:

Discover the “Diamond in the Desert” when you come to GP’s and dine on superb American and European cuisine. Start off with Bacon Wrapped scallops, Lobster Bisque or Lump Crab Cakes then move on to a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon or Miso-Glazed Sea Bass that’s been lovingly prepared and aged to perfection. Daily Chef’s specialties include steak and seafood selections.

We haven’t actually eaten here, but we imagine that the food is good enough. It’s open for dinner service on weekend evenings, as of the time of this writing.

From 6:00 a.m. until the late evening, and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Primm and Proper is the property’s casual American Restaurant that dishes out American staples at reasonable prices…somewhat reasonable, anyway. You can expect to pay roughly 150% of what the same dishes would cost at chain restaurants, so you decide if that’s reasonable, or not.

Open Thursday-Monday mornings, Mrs. Fields is a somewhat well-known chain for yogurts, coffee drinks and baked items and pastries.

Pizza of Primm Valley is open during the afternoon to late evening hours Thursdays-Sundays, so stop in and grab a pie if you’re looking for something quick. It’s not bad, but perhaps a little pricey for what it is.

They have a location of The Ice Cream Shop, but it has not reopened since the property closed down for Covid-19…hard to say if it will come back. They seem to have really curtailed their food operations.

Even Subway is having trouble there and can’t justify reopening, but the signage is still there, so maybe it’s coming back.

Starbucks is open from 5:00a.m. until the early evening hours, seven days per week.

Primm Valley Resort is certainly not a good place to be if you’re hungry on a Tuesday or Wednesday. More than that, the gambling offerings aren’t great, so unless you’re visiting someone in the Primm area or are looking to save money on rooms (and don’t mind the fact that you’re going to spend it in transportation), we really can’t think of a reason to recommend this one. We can only hope that business picks back up for them and they can go back to the offerings they used to have, but if it does, that will probably be driven by local traffic.

Rampart Casino

Located at 221 North Rampart Boulevard in Summerlin, Nevada, the Rampart Casino is located within the JW Marriott of Las Vegas. It’s not owned by Marriott International, however, with the name being franchised to Hotspur Resorts, the current owner of the property.

Rampart Casino was originally opened in July of 1999 and was finally opened by a company called Seven Circle…with ownership of the property changing hands before they had even broken ground on the casino itself! The property was originally called The Resort at Summerlin with the hotel operations being the Regent Grand Spa under franchise from Regent International Hotels…what a mess already!

Just one year later, they finally settled on calling the whole property Regent Las Vegas, which likely made it easier for people to figure out what they were booking without getting confused. Having one name, in my experience, seems to be a good idea for most casino properties.

Barely a year after opening, the property was already underwater as the revenues were insufficient to meet their debt obligations. The Regent would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2000 (YIKES!) and would eventually be sold to Hotspur Resorts after the bids of a few other potential owners fell through. That seems to have stabilized things, considering that they still own the property.

In 2002, the casino operations were leased to Millennium Management Group, which was probably a good move, because what they were doing before wasn’t working.

Upon opening, the property’s original plan was to try to appeal to high-rolling gamblers…but why did they think that would ever work? For those of you who don’t know, this casino is more than ten miles from the Las Vegas Strip, so even if it had a ton to offer, you can’t rely entirely on high-rolling tourists…it just doesn’t usually work. With that, the new management would continue to focus on hotel guests who wanted a luxury experience, but would gear the actual casino offerings more towards locals with an emphasis on reasonable Table Game minimums, decent rules and somewhat decent Video Poker.

At the end of the ten-year lease, the management contract was not renewed as (along with everywhere else) Rampart struggled during the Great Recession. Hotspur would ultimately decide to run its own gambling operations and continues to do so.

In total, the property is home to 548 guest rooms and suites along with 57,610 square feet of gambling real estate, which basically makes it a mid-sized casino, by Las Vegas standards.

If you look at Marriott’s site, then you would notice that this Spanish-Style building is barely referenced as having a casino. In this case, since the hotel is technically a franchised hotel, we’re just going to drop a link.

Suffice it to say that it’s hella expensive, the Resort Fees are $39/night and it’s nowhere near the Las Vegas Strip. If you’re visiting family or have business in the Summerlin area and don’t mind dropping a dime, then look into it…if you’re traveling for the usual Las Vegas scene, then there’s really not much of a reason for people to stay, or even visit, this property.

The official name of the casino is Rampart Casino at the Resort at Summerlin…which is a serious mouthful. Most people just call it, “Rampart.”

In of non-gambling entertainment, the site says that there is live entertainment on weekend nights at The Round Bar (Piano Bar) and Addison’s Lounge also features live entertainment, but no schedule is currently posted for the latter, so we would recommend that you call and inquire if live entertainment is going to be important to you.

The casino is home to roughly 1,450 combined slot, video keno and video poker machines. According to VPFree2, they have a few games over 99% Return-to-player ranging from nickels to $25/credit. That’s a good game for nickels, but probably not so great if you’re betting $125/hand!

The property is currently home to twenty gaming Tables and spread games such as Baccarat. Chances are that not all of these games operate 24/7, so we would recommend that you call and inquire as to the usual days and times of operation. I guess 10x Odds is somewhat notable, given they don’t have a lot of geographically immediate competition, that’s a nicety.

The property is home to its own Race and Sportsbook that, honestly, is really dated. The furniture has clearly been there for awhile and, unlike more recently designed books, there’s not really much of an emphasis on comfort. That said, the video wall is okay. It’s open seven days per week from 8:00 a.m. until the middle evening hours…but there’s a self-service kiosk available even for when it’s closed.

Ranging from 11:00a-9:00p seven days per week, Rampart’s Bingo Room offers six daily sessions and does reasonably well. It probably doesn’t do well-enough to justify a full renovation, but once again, this area of the property is probably about due for an updating. With what Marriott wants for rooms, you’d probably expect a newer casino.

Given the sort of guests that the hotel is expected to attract ($$$) and the area of the County represented in Summerlin ($$$) it should come as no surprise that Rampart Casino has three fine dining options.

The Hawthorn Grill is one of these and is open for dinner service seven evenings per week. Most of the seating is such that guests will enjoy a view of the lush gardens outside, and the restaurant has this to say about itself:

Featuring a perfect balance of crave-worthy steakhouse fare and American classics, alongside an extensive wine and cocktail program. Sure to be Summerlin’s newest hotspot, Hawthorn Grill features a rich bar area, perfect for an after-work or pre-dinner drink; a large, yet cozy dining room easily accommodating a large family dinner or a romantic date; and an expansive outdoor patio with a vibrant waterfall surrounded by lush foliage.

It’s definitely pretty visually appealing, but keep in mind that the prices are about 150% of what you would expect even at some mid-tier chain steakhouses…is the food worth it? Let us know if you happen to stop in there!

Jade Asian Kitchen and Noodles is pretty solid and is open for dinner service all evenings except Mondays and Tuesdays, as of the time of this writing. The aesthetic here is pretty clean and simple, yet modern enough and the emphasis is clearly on the food…much of which you can actually watch being prepared. If you’re a fan of sushi, then that’s probably what you want to go with if you happen to visit this eatery.

Spiedini Italian Restaurant is a fine dining establishment that has yet to reopen after the Covid-19 closures. The site lists them as, “Temporarily closed,” so maybe you’ll see it back in action starting Spring or Summer of next year. Let’s hope that they do a renovation in advance, as the furnishings here are honestly pretty dated and kind of tacky.

Earl Grey Cafe is open 24/7 and Captain Picard would certainly approve! I don’t know if the decor is what is supposed to be considered British, but if the British enjoy tacky floral-print chairs, then this Cafe hit a home run in that regard. Serving Causal American breakfasts, lunches and dinners, the prices here are what you would pretty much expect from an American Diner…which is to say it’s really cheap! They have a few quasi-British inspired dishes…but it’s mainly just typical American food. It’s fine.

Market Place Buffet does what it says on the box, but the website says, “Hours are subject to change,” and does not offer a schedule…so we would recommend calling in advance if having a casino buffet is high on your priority list.

Waterside Cafe is the poolside restaurant that has a pretty basic menu during pool season from the late morning to late afternoon hours. If you want a pretty simple lunch and don’t want to go inside to eat it, there you go.

Clubhouse Deli is open from 11:00 a.m. to the middle evening hours seven days per week and is kind of a combination of grab and go stuff along with a basic menu of things that can be made-to-order quickly. Unless you’re just wanting something really quick (or a coffee drink) we would recommend the Cafe as the prices are about the same.

Starbucks opens at 7:00 a.m. and closes in the afternoon every day, except Saturday and Sunday, when it stays open until the evening.

That’s about it for Rampart Casino, which we can only recommend looking into if you have some reason to be in the Summerlin area anyway. Other than having to be in that area specifically, there’s really no reason to visit this casino, much less stay.

Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino

Red Rock Casino is also located in Summerlin, Nevada, this one at 11011 West Charleston Boulevard. Red Rock is quite a new casino (even by Vegas standards) having opened in April of 2006.

As it stands now, Red Rock is home to 796 combined guest rooms and suites as well as more than 118,000 square feet of gambling real estate. That makes Red Rock a huge casino, not just by the standards of this page dealing with places on the outskirts, but by the standards of anywhere in Nevada!

The Red Rock was built not just with gambling in mind, but was designed to appeal to locals and visitors in the family way, as well. In addition to the most expensive bowling alley in the world (at least, at the time), the Red Rock is also home to a movie theater.

The property was built by Station Casinos and is still owned and operated by same. The only notable change is that the property was originally (as with many of their others) going to have the word, “Station,” in the name, but they instead opted for, “Red Rock,” after the nearby Red Rock Canyon. I’m surprised they didn’t go with, “Red Rock Station,” but maybe they decided that such a new property should have a unique identity.

The first thing that we will discuss is the plethora of activities available at Red Rock, which is probably comparable to a property such as South Point in both size and scope. Red Rock Lanes is a visually astounding bowling alley with excellent viewing screens (not just for scorekeeping) that sometimes has sessions with laser lights and VIP bowling lanes available. You could take just the bowling alley, and if you slapped it somewhere in the American Midwest, people would drive for dozens of miles just to go there. Finding a lane shouldn’t be a huge ordeal, as there are 72 of them.

The Sandbar Pool is actually several pools with the highlight being a main pool in the center with a large fountain. It is surrounded by cabanas (that can be rented) and all sorts of smaller wading/lounging pools for those who want to get away from the crowds. When the pool is in season, it is also notable for being one of the only outdoor pools anywhere that has a Table Games pit…that’s right…if you want to play some Blackjack and still keep your kids in sight, there you go! I haven’t checked these tables out myself, so I can’t promise the rules are any good.

As could be expected, a family-oriented casino of this size is also home to Cyber Quest and Kids Quest locations, which offer plenty of additional activities for youngsters, such as the sizable arcade in Cyber Quest. Kids Quest can also watch your kids for you, for a bit, if you want to go off and do more adult things, such as an expensive dinner that the younger palettes wouldn’t truly appreciate, during your stay.

The Regal Red Rock 16 features sixteen viewing screens for both classic and first-run movies and the schedule for that may be found here. There are screens that are both 4DX and IMAX, if that’s the sort of thing you’re into, so you and the kids will have another potential activity to do during your stay at this property.

If you feel like shopping, while it’s not quite the variety that you will get at a Las Vegas Strip casino, the Red Rock is home a few small stores.

Whether it’s the Lucky Bar, Lobby Bar or T-Bone’s Chophouse, you’re likely to run into some live musical accompaniment for your dining or drinking when you visit the Red Rock, especially on weekends. You can find their schedule here.

Guests of the hotel will enjoy wireless internet access, 65-inch TV’s (all room types, nice!), fitness room, and, of course, access to the outdoor pool when it is in season. The property is also home to a full service (extra charges apply) salon and spa.

The rooms, of course, are NOT cheap. The first thing that you will want to keep in mind is that the Resort Fee is $44.07 (after tax) which is more than the room rates of some other places. Even during the slow demand season, weekday rates will generally run a bit north of $100/night and can even climb above $200 on basic rooms if there’s a holiday or special event. When it comes to their weekend rates, at least as of 2021, you are going to expecta bare minimum of $200 even when it’s dead slow…and then it can get pretty off the charts when busy.

New Year’s Eve 2021, for example, was $599.99 for their most basic room, when we looked. I guess it’s safe to say weekend rates will live in the $200-$600 range…pretty wide range!

The rooms themselves are, of course, very nice and have great views! The furniture as well as the aesthetic might be slightly dated (very slightly), but the cleanliness is top notch and everything there is kept in great condition. We would consider this most comparable to a higher end Limited Service hotel room.

If you’re staying here, especially for a lengthy stay, then price is probably no object to you.

The property is home to one of the largest gambling floors in Las Vegas with offerings to match. In fact, there are more than 2,700 combined slot, Video Poker and Video Keno machines ranging in denomination from pennies to Bennies ($100). It’s no secret that Station Casinos offers some of the best Video Poker in the world, so it should come as no surprise that VPFree2 lists about a dozen paytables returning 99%+ as well as a few games that return in excess of 100% to players, assuming optimal strategy. Most denominations for the strong Video Poker start at quarters, but a few good paytables can be had for as low as nickels.

The property is home to sixty Table Games, which include a low-lit, quiet and very modern high-limit room for players who can afford the bets and want to play in peace and comfort. The high-limit room almost resembles something like a business lounge in a high-end hotel…which I guess it pretty much is. On the casino floor, games include Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, Pai-Gow Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em.

The Poker Room hosts twenty tables and mostly features Limit and No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em, but Stud, Omaha and Mix games are also dealt if there is sufficient demand.

The property is home to a Live Keno area and has this to say about it:

You’ll only need to step into Red Rock’s Keno Lounge to see why it’s widely regarded as the absolute best in Las Vegas. It hosts 16 seats, four writer stations, automatic ball drawing, and Jumbo Keno as a linked progressive on 6, 7, 8, and 9 spot tickets. Don’t forget the Mega 10 spot worth over $3 million.

It’s fine, but, “Best,” is probably something of an overstatement. The four writer stations are nice, but obviously, aren’t all going to be staffed unless it’s super busy. Beyond that, sixteen seats for players isn’t really all that much…not that there are that many people generally playing Live Keno (anywhere) at one time.

The Live Bingo room, on the other hand, might be one of the absolute best in the Las Vegas area. The well-lit room with a pleasant aesthetic is also well-spaced out offering players plenty of room to do what they have to do and the seating is comfortable. It has its own bar and there are eight one-hour sessions every day of the week, which is more than most other Vegas casinos have in a day.

The Sportsbook is also very nice and is spread out pretty well with a main video wall near the betting station, but also has smaller screens along the sides of the room, individual viewing stations and an upraised lounge area with its own smaller series of screens wrapping around that. Obviously, it’s unlikely that anything will ever rival Circa for sports betting again, but we would say that Red Rock would definitely be one of the Top 5 sportsbooks.

Is there anything they DON’T have? I doubt it, but we had better take a look into the dining options to make sure Red Rock has plenty for everyone in that regard…we suspect it will:

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill has everything you could ever want in a sushi establishment, but there are plenty of other delectable choices if sushi isn’t your thing…even Wagyu Burgers for those of you who don’t like seafood at all. This establishment is open for lunch and dinner service seven days per week and the prices are extremely reasonable for what is offered.

Osteria Fiorella is a very traditional Italian restaurant that sticks to well-prepared from scratch fresh foods made in a simple way that doesn’t try to get, “Too creative.” When you visit this eatery on any night of the week (dinner service only, except there’s also a Sunday Brunch) you can expect quality Italian cooking and skilled preparation that will remind you of homemade.

While the decor may be a little more loudly opulent than quietly elegant, the T-Bones Chophouse is a fine and upscale steakhouse that offers a quality assortment of entrees and appetizers for dinner service seven evenings per week. They have this to say for themselves:

A modern American chophouse set amongst a setting as stunning as they come, the extensive steakhouse menu at T-Bones Chophouse features an array of USDA Prime dry and wet aged beef cuts, grass-fed bison, and wagyu.

With delectable preparation options, the city’s freshest seafood, and a wine list for the ages—this fan-favorite chophouse has earned a number of impressive accolades, including an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator and the title of “Best Las Vegas Steakhouse.”

They’re also known for their quality seafood, so while I would personally prefer the Sushi restaurant, this would be a good second choice for me if I am with someone who doesn’t care for seafood. The prices are no joke, so keep that in mind, but you’re sure to have an excellent meal here and will probably feel that the final check was well worth what you got.

Tucked into a corner and simply-appointed, the 8 Noodle Bar offers a wide selection of Asian dishes in all sorts of techniques and does it relatively quickly. This casual restaurant is a great place to grab lunch and is open from 11-11 on weekdays and stays open until 1:00 a.m. on weekends.

Lucky Penny is decorated like a 1990’s sit down American restaurant (at least, in my opinion) and offers a menu of wide variety for breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night. It’s open 24 hours and is good if you are eating with the kids or if you just want something tasty that doesn’t cost too much. I’d go simple and recommend the Penny Burger!

Hearthstone Kitchen and Cellar has an interesting sort of aesthetic with the lighting being fairly low, but then the furniture looks kind of like front porch furniture…mostly light colors that look like they belong in a picnic setup in the South! It’s open for dinner service seven days per week and also has brunch on weekends; they have this to say:

Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar offers guests carefully crafted scratch-made fare in a space that’s as comfortable as it is eye-catching. Offering an elevated take on rustic American food, Hearthstone is home to two wood-burning ovens responsible for delivering some of the most delicious roasted flavors in the entire Red Rock dining scene.

From artisanal salads and fresh oysters to charcuterie selections and signature sandwiches, you’ll find all of the eats you’re craving and an endlessly impressive libations list in this stunning, down-home eatery.

The menu is pretty varied, so there’s certain to be something for everyone. While the prices are not astronomical, it’s obviously going to cost more than the 24 hour Cafe, but probably still going to be a reasonable place to bring kids for a bite.

One thing that the South seems to get right is BBQ and Lucille’s Smokehouse is no different. With a simple, yet fun, Creole decor flair, Lucille’s is your place to go for some of the best pulled pork for lunch or dinner in the Summerlin area. At least, the pulled pork is what I recommend!

Maybe you want to eat but your companion just wants a few drinks, if so, the Yard House is a place where you can do both during the lunch and dinner hours any day of the week! The menu is an American Fusion menu, which means that you will find the traditional American Sports Bar staples along with an assortment of other selections from elsewhere in the world.

Finally, Red Rock is home to a fairly impressive food court, which is where you will probably be going several times throughout your trip if you have the kids with you. We’ll just go ahead and list them—Ben and Jerry’s (Ice Cream-well-known national brand), Side Piece Pizza, JuiceFarm (Cold pressed juices and smoothies), Auntie Anne’s (National pretzel chain), Capriotti’s (Philly-style subs), Panda Express, Starbucks, Rubio’s (Mexican), Fatburger and Gridiron Grill (Sports Pub staples). If you can’t find anything there to please the whole family, then you’ve got a really picky family.

How would we not recommend Red Rock? The gambling offerings are great, the Video Poker is great, the dining offerings are great….the only two reasons not to go there are if your budget is tight and that it is several miles from the Las Vegas Strip. However, if you’re visiting with family, you might never leave the property! It’s also a good place to say if you are going to do your LV Strip and Downtown sightseeing by day, but don’t care so much for the party scene at night.

So, yeah, if it’s in your budget…we recommend this one!

Silverton

Silverton Hotel, Casino and Spa is located in an area called, “Enterprise,” Nevada and is about ten minutes South of the Southern point of the Main Las Vegas Strip; the address is 3333 Blue Diamond Road.

The property is styled as kind of like a hunting cabin (in aesthetic) and is home to 300 guest rooms and suites as well as 65,556 square feet of gambling real estate. In of size, it’s about mid-sized (the casino floor, anyway) by Las Vegas standards.

Originally opened as Boomtown Casino in May of 1994, the property was tly owned, but Boomtown Inc. was the primary financier and would go on to buy out their partner anyway. That partner (50% of operations) was Ed Roski Jr., who continues to own the physical property and to this day.

The landlord arrangement wouldn’t last long and the Boomtown was a casino without a target market. It was kind of a pain for locals to get to, didn’t have a ton of residential around it and didn’t really appeal to Vegas visitors as an Off-Strip option. Roski would ultimately come to repurchase operational ownership of the casino (and continue to own the physical property) and renamed it Silverton.

The property was kind of aimless for the next few years, alternating between trying to attract locals and tourists, but ending up with enough of a mix to continue to be viable. Along the way, different amenities and restaurants would be added. The property also targeted Green Valley area residents, but also lucked out with a bunch of new housing projects coming to the immediate vicinity within the next several years…so they kind of ended up being a locals casino for locals to come rather than those who were already there.

With that, additional hotels and condos would eventually come to be built around the Silverton, thereby making the Silverton the closest casino for a great many area residents and visitors. Perhaps unintentionally, they ended up being a sort of pioneer when it came to the expansion of that area of Las Vegas…I guess that kind of fits the name!

What’s there for guests to do? Plenty! The Silverton has a fitness center, wireless internet and an outdoor Sway Pool that is prime for relaxation and is simple, relatively quiet and surrounded by palm trees…pleasant place to relax. The Silverton is also home to an excellent free (for all) attraction in the form of a 117,000 gallon reef aquarium, so that might be worth going down and seeing even if you’re staying on The Strip, if you’ve got wheels. For those hunters and fishers out there, Silverton is also home to a Bass Pro Shops…which is a pretty popular nationwide chain of such stores, but might be useful if you don’t have one where you live.

The hotel rooms are simple and clean, but pleasant in their simplicity. You can see that the lodge theme extends into the hotel rooms, which could be mistaken for those that you might find at a resort in the middle of the woods.

During the slow demand season, overnight rates on weekends will usually be somewhere between the $50-$100 range. Rates can run anywhere from $119 to $500 on weekends, but are usually under $250 if it’s not a super busy holiday, or special event, weekend. The Resort Fee, as of the time of this writing, is $18.99.

Ultimately, we wouldn’t really consider the Silverton ideal for family travelers because there are plenty of cheaper casino hotels in the area with more activities for the whole family. The aquarium is great, don’t get us wrong, but that’s probably going to kill an hour, at most.

We would also not recommend it for people primarily concerned with budget when it comes to overnight accommodations. Sure, Silverton is probably cheaper than average, but it’s far from being the cheapest option in the Las Vegas area once you factor the Resort Fee into the equation. Especially weekday nights, when many Strip hotels are actually cheaper.

Silverton occasionally features Live Entertainment, with a schedule that can be found here.

In of gambling action, Silverton is home to more than 1,100 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines in a wide variety of denominations. According to VPFree2, they have a few Video Poker paytables over 99% return to player with Optimal Strategy, but nothing great, especially when compared to locals-oriented properties such as those owned by Station Casinos.

The 26 Table Games at the property feature Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em, Three Card Poker and Roulette. No Craps!? How does that happen? We don’t expect that all of their games operate 24/7, so you will want to call ahead for the usual times of operation if looking for games other than Blackjack.

Open most hours of the day, the William Hill Sports and Racebook is a modest affair compared to some others, but is nicely appointed enough, has a decent video wall over the main ticket station and is pretty okay overall. Nothing spectacular.

For quick eats, you will be looking at Johnny Rockets (fast food burgers and fries) and Starbucks as your main choices.

For other dining, Silverton is home to more outlets than you might expect, especially given the limited gaming offerings. Open for dinner service Wednesday-Sunday evenings, the Twin Creeks Steakhouse is an eclectic colored affair with several lodge elements to it. The prices are lower than those of many other Vegas area steakhouses and the selection is decent. I don’t think it’s worth going out of your way, necessarily, but you should consider dining at this establishment if staying on property anyway.

Mi Casa Grill Cantina is kind of a Tex-Mex place with more emphasis on the, “Mex,” than average. It’s reasonably priced, features dozens of different tequilas (if that’s your drink of choice) and the burritos and fajitas tend to get solid reviews. Again, it’s definitely one you should consider if staying, or perhaps even if you want to eat when you go down to visit the aquarium, but probably no reason to go out of your way just for the restaurant.

Su Casa is open Thursday-Monday evenings for dinner service and is the Silverton’s place to go for Sushi and other Asian dishes. They have this to say:

Su Casa, nestled inside Mi Casa Grill Cantina, offers trendy and traditional coastal Asian cuisine with Latin influence. The dynamic union of cultures and cuisine marries refreshing favorites like Ceviche, Sashimi, Sushi Rolls, Ramen, and Poke Bowls. Good times are destined to be shared, bring a friend, and enjoy the fresh selections and energetic atmosphere of this modern Asian experience.

The prices are reasonable, so this is definitely one to check out if you’re visiting the property for any reason.

Open at 7:00a.m;. Daily and staying open until the late night hours, Sundance Grill is an American Casual place that has some interesting sandwiches and clearly take time to prepare dishes that are both visually appealing and tasty. The prices are pretty standard when compared to other American Casual casino places, so you really can’t go wrong with this one.

Woohoo! I mean, WuHu, as in WuHu Noodle is another Asian establishment at the Silverton, this time with more of a focus on noodle dishes and stir fry. They have this to say:

We are proud to introduce Chef Chung to the Silverton Casino family. Chef Chung brings you authentic recipes and traditional favorites that will have you saying Woo-Hoo! WuHu Noodle, is one of the best restaurants on Blue Diamond Road Las Vegas. Locals know that this authentic Asian restaurant is the place for noodles Las Vegas.

I’m all about the sushi, myself, but if noodle dishes are more your thing, Silverton has you covered.

Shady Grove Bar and Lounge is more for drinking, but it features a basic menu with a few pub staples and pizza if you happen to get hungry.

Open for dinner service Thursday-Monday evenings (and open for drinking before dinner hours on weekends), Mermaids Lounge is a pretty cool spot where one side of the establishment looks into the Silverton’s Aquarium. The menu consists of pizzas, sandwiches and American Pub staples, but if you don’t mind a simple dinner, then you can get a meal out of the way and check the aquarium out all in one place! Keep in mind that guests of the lounge must be 21+, so don’t make this your dinner plan if bringing youngsters to Silverton to see the aquarium.

That about covers it for Silverton and the key word is, “Aquarium.” While we don’t want to disrecommend a casino, (which we’re not doing, Silverton is probably okay for locals who don’t care about Video Poker paytables) we must it that there’s really no other reason for a Las Vegas tourist to stay or visit the Silverton…and it’s probably not worth setting up overnight accommodations for. That said, if you do want to visit the aquarium, then there are plenty of great eateries to enjoy a meal while you’re there.

SunCoast Hotel and Casino

Suncoast Hotel and Casino, located at 9090 Alta Drive in Las Vegas, Nevada, opened in September of 2000 and has a Mediterranean theme. If you were thinking the theme would be tropical based on the name, trust me, I’m just as surprised as you are.

Suncoast is on the West side of town and is located about ten miles due West of the Fremont Street (Downtown) casinos and about fifteen miles north and west of the Las Vegas Strip proper. We’re including it in the Clark County general listings just because it’s all but out there by itself.

With 432 guest rooms and suites and just under 96,000 square feet of gambling real estate, Suncoast is mostly there to cater to Las Vegas locals and the folks visiting them, but is a place that you might be considering for your Las Vegas visit, so we will detail it below.

Originally to be called the Sundance, this casino was built, and then for four years owned and operated, by Coast Casinos. The Suncoast became notable for its large childcare facility as well as other amenities that would appeal to families and would quickly have to expand its room count to take the most advantage of its surprisingly popularity with overnight guests.

Coast Casinos (owned by Michael Gaughan at the time) would go on to be purchased by Boyd Gaming in 2004, and it is Boyd Gaming that remains the owner and operator of the Suncoast to this day.

Guests of the hotel will enjoy access to the 24 hour fitness room, wireless internet and seasonal outdoor pool that is open ten months out of the year.

Their website says that access to the fitness center is free, which REALLY makes us wonder what the hell the $31.63 (after tax) nightly Resort Fee is supposed to be paying for, but I guess you’ll have that. Overall, room rates are pretty middle of the road compared to other Las Vegas properties…maybe look at Silverton in the above listing and add something like 20%, in of regular (non weekend, non special event) rates.

They have a bit more to do on-site than Silverton, however, with a full service spa, Century 16 movie theater featuring classics and first runs, an arcade and a 64 lane Brunswick bowling alley. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay that won’t totally break the bank and want to be away from the party scene at night, then the rates are pretty reasonable when compared to what all they have for families to do…even if the $30+ Resort Fee is ridiculous for this property.

For some reason, their website doesn’t care to give an estimate as to the number of gaming machines are at the property, so we won’t either. What we will say is that VPFree2 reports that there are any number of video poker machines with plenty of paytables in the 99%+ range with Optimal Strategy, most of which start at quarters for the good paytables. It’s not quite what Stations Casinos offers, but it’s really solid.

Some of the Boyd sites have a, “Slot Finder,” tool that you can use to see what machines they have, and this one is no exception. It is also there that they finally tell us that they have more than 1,800 total machines, which you think they would mention on the main slots page, but we guess not.

The property is home to, “Dozens,” of Table Games according to their website, so there are somewhere between 24 and 96 and we would assume that it’s on the lower end of, “Dozens.” In any event, available games are Blackjack, Face Up Pai Gow Poker, High Card Flush, Wild 5 Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em, Roulette and Craps. Keep in mind that, as of the time of this writing, Table Games close completely at 3:00 a.m. Sunday-Thursday. Of course, not all games will be open around the clock, so if you’re looking for something besides Blackjack, you might want to call for the usual days and times of operation.

The property is home to a Bingo Room that seats as many as 600 and features six sessions every day of the week between 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. —Las Vegas locals sure do love Bingo!

Open most hours of the day, the Suncoast Racing and Sportsbook has one giant screen along the wall where the bets are made and some twenty smaller (but still big screen) TV’s scattered throughout. It’ll get the job done.

Quick bites can be found at the snack bar at the bowling alley, sandwiches and breads at Bagel Corner Deli & Bakery, more sandwiches at Subway and coffee drinks at Java Vegas Coffee.

Prime dining can be found at SC Prime Steakhouse and Bar which, as of the time of this writing, is open Thursday-Saturday evenings for dinner service with reservations recommended. They describe themselves thus:

Located a short elevator ride away from the exciting action of our casino, the classic steakhouse ambiance and spectacular view of the Las Vegas Valley enhance an already pleasurable experience. Our signature steakhouse features a variety of steaks including Certified Angus Beef® and USDA Prime Aged Beef. SC Prime also offers seafood, lamb, poultry, and a variety of other delicious entrees all prepared to perfection. A Private Dining Room is available when the celebration requires a little more intimacy. We don’t have many requirements of you at SC Prime, just an appreciation for the finer things in life.

It’s pretty good stuff and traditional steakhouse fare, so the prices aren’t too over the top. It’s definitely one to consider if you’re staying on property anyway.

90 Ninety Bar and Grill mostly features the sort of cuisine you would expect an American Sports Bar to have and is pretty good. The prices are reasonable, perhaps just a little north of something like an Applebee’s, and it is open for dinner service seven evenings per week. The beer selection is pretty good.

Brigg’s Oyster Company is open for dinner service Tuesday-Saturday evenings and does what it says on the box, so you’re in luck if you like oysters and want them fresh shucked. If oysters aren’t your thing, don’t fret, they’ve got even more seafood dishes you can get.

The Fans Sports Bar has a handful of gaming device and is located on the second floor of the bowling center. It’s a good place to hang out, or maybe to go sneak a shot if you’re bowling with the kids and decide to use the, “Bathroom,” it’s cool; I’m not judging. What food that they do have is a handful of basic pub staples, so you probably won’t be going out of your way to eat here, but if you do get hungry, they have you covered.

Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, THE GAME is a simply-appointed sports bar and features a wide variety of cocktails and brews as well as your typical American pub food staples. They sure do have American sports bar food covered here, don’t they?

DU-PAR’s is at Suncoast and it’s open 24/7—-YES! I can guarantee that some guests who frequent the Golden Gate Casino in Downtown Las Vegas are going to make the trek West to Suncoast to get DU-PAR’s again. DU-PAR’s is a popular breakfast and brunch spot that is very economical and visitors and locals of Las Vegas will swear by. If you know, you know.

That covers it for Suncoast which probably charges more than they should for rooms and has a ridiculous Resort Fee for what you get, but has a reasonable range of dining options (except for Tuesday evenings) that is sure to satisfy anyone. Some of you might go there just for Du-Par’s, but only if you’ve had it before and would miss it as part of your Vegas experience.

We’re not really thrilled with the value, but if you have family that lives out that way and you’re visiting, then you might decide to stay at Suncoast. If that’s not the case, then there’s probably not much of a reason to stay or visit…even if you don’t mind staying away from The Strip or Downtown, or even if you specifically want to do that, there are better value properties with more to do elsewhere.

Terrible’s Casino (Searchlight)

Located on US-95 in Searchlight, Nevada, if you’re at Terrible’s Casino, you might need a searchlight, because it’s possible you’re lost. If not lost, then you’re on your way to or from somewhere because you’re an hour south and east of the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip and are still several miles from Laughlin.

Were you looking for Boulder Strip? I don’t know. Some of you might be planning to go to Terrible’s on purpose, and if so, this listing is for you. If you’re there in November of 2021, you can have a free six pack of beer if you hit a four of a kind on Video Poker, so that’s something.

They have 57 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines.

There’s also a Denny’s near it, but not part of the casino. They have a little snack stand in the casino with cheap and basic grub, as well as a bar.

Terrible’s Hotel & Casino—CLOSED

Oh, was THIS the Terrible’s you wanted? I really hope you didn’t make that mistake, but I bet it’s happened before. Terrible’s Hotel and Casino is located at 1 Main Street in Jean, Nevada and is about 25 miles south and west of the Las Vegas Strip proper.

Opened with an Old West theme (and scenery outside to match) in December of 1987, Terrible’s Hotel and Casino has 811 guest rooms and suites as well as almost exactly 40,000 square feet of gambling space.

Originally opened as the Gold Strike and majority owned by Dave Belding, this property would eventually find its way to Circus Circus Enterprises which were themselves bought out by MGM Mirage who would become MGM Grand International who, in 2015, would sell it to JETT Gaming—a company owned by the Herbst family.

The name was changed to Terrible’s in 2018.

Oh, and Silver Sevens? That was Terrible’s Casino, but isn’t anymore, and Terrible’s is the name of the chain of convenience store and gas station casino locations also owned by the Herbst Family…it just seems like a weird name change…but I guess the Gold Strike brand was nothing special anyway.

And…It’s Closed. Rest in Peace, Terrible’s Hotel and Casino. I’d say the rebranding didn’t help, but it’s probably just a Covid casualty. I can’t imagine that a casino way out in Jean ever did that well in the first place…the surrounding region is still very sparsely populated. Maybe it will be sold to another company one day, but I seriously doubt if there would be a long line to buy it.

Whiskey Pete’s

Located at 100 Primm Boulevard in Primm, Nevada, Whiskey Pete’s is another Primm property owned and operated by Affinity Gaming as part of Primm Valley Resorts. Most Vegas visitors won’t find themselves here (unless driving via California) as Primm is an unincorporated community of a few hundred residents (almost all of whom are casino employees or relatives of casino employees) and the three casinos.

Opened in 1977, the property is home to 777 guest rooms and suites and 34,800 square feet of gambling space.

A little smaller than Primm Valley Resort, guests will find that Whiskey Pete’s is home to about 350 combined slot, video poker and keno machines with denominations ranging from pennies to $25 per credit. That’s about it for Whiskey Pete’s, at least at this time, as the only Table Games available (Craps and Roulette) are of the electronic variety.

Quick eats at Whiskey Pete’s consist of Starbucks and Subway.

Cuca’s Mexican Food is open from Thursday to Monday 11:00 a.m. until the late evening hours and has this to say:

Our food is made fresh daily, from Cuca’s very own family recipes. We invite you to experience the flavors of our family’s heritage. Authentic, rich, delicious and made with lots of love. We are proud to say that we have been serving our traditional recipes to the Inland Empire for over twenty five years. We pride ourselves on our simple, yet bold flavors and welcome you to come experience our delicious recipes for yourself.

As they said, the dishes are pretty simple, but will certainly get the job done if you are in the Primm area…maybe a decent place to stop on the way back to California for some lunch and to get a few last spins in before heading home.

Qdoba Mexican Grill is a low priced option and popular chain. It’s open for an early to late lunch, or early dinner, seven days per week.

Speaking of national chains, Whiskey Pete’s is also home to a 24/7 IHOP location.

That’s it for Whiskey Pete’s, probably not a place you’re going to find yourself unless you are traveling to Vegas by car. If you really want to check Primm out, for whatever reason, then you should keep in mind that Primm Valley Resort has a lot more going on.
