| - Didn't stay but I did play! Out by Hoover Dam, this little casino and lodge is really dam great. Decorated in semi-modernized frontier lodge wood and stone, it never felt claustrophobic. Service is fantastic. Belly up to the bar and ask Beth for a drink. She can sling a powerful and tasty beverage. She made a martini that could subdue a charging rhino, very potent and dirty with olives . If you are driving to Vegas, stop here. The little gift shop is a rare treasure chest of liquor, less than $10 for 750ml of Pinnacle Vodka, just to name one. Sports is always on the TVs in the bar. I'd definitely consider staying here but will surely stop here for alcohol before driving into Las Vegas. Get the player's club card, even if you don't plan on coming back. I can't wait to try the food, mountain bike the trails, slide on a cable over the gorge, and get out on the lake. It's a vacation from the vacation. There are even Grand Canyon helicopter flights from the back door of this place, surprisingly fun.
