| - Vato Cigars is in Binions Casino and sells their own handrolled cigars as well as brand name items.
It's a small shop, but manages to pack a lot of stuff. There is no walk in humidor, but cabinet humidors. One has all their house blends - I remember a Cuban blend, Aloha Blend, Kansas Blend and the Las Vegas Blend. They carry various vitolas including novelty ones like a baseball bat or a pipe. They have a small selection of brand name cigars as well, cigar accessories, but also even carry vaping stuff, cigarettes, emergency goods like tylenol since they are off the casino floor.
We ended up picking a few up for home, but I smoked a Kansas blend (barber pole wrapper) Torpedo next door at Bennys Bullpen. I liked the Kansas, I thought it had nice balance to it. Their cigars are a bit more than the average b&m, but that is how it goes with casino located ones. They do run a good deal with their "all you can smoke" for $29.99. Basically you can smoke as much as you want from open to close of their blends or a selection from the whole bottom row of onesies of branded names.
The husband and wife team, Sarah and Paul, are very friendly and colorful individuals. The fiance and I came here with Chris M. as we all share a love a cigars. As we sat at Bennys, Sarah, one of the owners came to sit with us so we got to know her better. In store, we had some extensive chats with Paul.
It was a good first experience so I will be back and hope it keeps on staying positive. Despite being in a tourist driven spot, they are the type of people you can build a great repoire with.
