Before a few months ago, Wildfire was the type of scummy locals casino you avoided like a scummy bar where people's tattoos were bigger than their brains. So that 2007 review by Wesley was accurate.
However, Stations Casinos finished their takeover and completely renovated the place top to bottom this summer. And the difference is truly night and day. Thus, Carrie's review in May is also accurate.
But as clean as the renovations are, the biggest renovation has to be one of the nicest and hard-working staffs I have ever seen in this town. The cordiality, smiles and willingness to help from the folks in the restaurant to the bowling alley actually reminded me more of Disneyland than a local casino.
And the great thing about great service is it always makes everything else seem better. The food at the restaurant wouldn't be described as top notch, but the great service made it all the better. So did the fact you could get a dinner, soup or salad and a desert for just $10.
While smaller than most of the mega bowling alleys we see in the Vegas area, the technical gizmos in the Wildfire lanes was top notch, complete with speed guns to show how fast you were throwing the ball. Kids had a great time.
