Yep, it's DIVE time!
I present my third and final installment of Water Street dives. Much like the Rainbow Club and El Dorado the Emeral Island Casino caters to locals offering great food at an affordable price and an all penny casino, for the budget conscious gambler.
Emerald Island creates a much more lively atmosphere that the other two dives mentioned above. They have a very outgoing staff that does a fantastic job of promoting their brand and informing customers of the promotions going on. Their dining area is relatively small, but has a lot of great quality items (Steak & Lobster Fridays are solid for $20, tacos are outstanding, can't go wrong with their burger or any of their subs). They advertise that "everyday is promotion day" at Emerald Island. If you join their players club they sometimes have up to 25x's points. You don't have to be a mathematician to know that adds up very fast. $5 will literally get you a few bucks off your meal. They also give out free food daily between 6-7pm. Some nights its Baskin Robbins ice cream, other nights it's Tacos, you just never know what delightful little treat they are going to serve up.
Of the three Henderson dives the Emerald Island is probably my favorite for a nice little evening of gambling and dinner. All three are within walking distance of one another so check out one or check out all. Much like the other two, be prepared to strip down in the garage when you get home as the smoke-is-a-heavy at Emerald.
