| - Hey where are the yelp reviews of this place? Are Sin City's yelpers too chicken to have never patronized then reviewed this place? If you want a blue collar, out of strip casino experience, this semi dive casino is for you. As soon as you step inside, the smell of smoke permeates every hair and thread on your body. If that bugs you, stay away because it's the worst I've smelled,in a while. It's dark inside, but somewhat comfy with large screen TV's and a friendly bartender, There are ample slot machines. My mom actually won forty bucks here on the penny machine once. So she agreed to eat and gamble here again - in the daytime.
They had a huge face lift in 2008 and the building does look better than it did before that. Yet, 10 minutes into being inside, you know this is place is in the da hood. There are some rough looking big dudes. Even their girlfriends/wives look pretty rough. I hear most military guys a few miles north at Nellis Air Base avoid this joint,so be warned.
The saving grace, though, is the cafe. My brother, who has more guts than me eating in off the beaten path places, said he had an awesome steak/lobster dinner here for $10 once. That special exists at special times. But there are other specials. Check their board and their signs outside you can read of the freeway and Cheyenne. For lunch today, I had the rib eye dinner for $6.99. I was prepared to be disappointed, but my jaw dropped at the price...then it got busy munching on an awesome char grilled steak,. It was well marbled, with that char grilled taste on the outside and very tender and cooked medium rare correctly. It came with salad or soup, and your choice of two sides from fries, baked or mashed potatoes, rice, and vegetables. Wow, I would eat that dinner again and again, especially at that great price. I suddenly didn't mind the smoke too much, Service wasn't bad or great - one waitress had to wait on the entire place. The busboy was good getting refills and cleaning plates, My sister opted for the Po Boy with fries, good as well. All five meals plus five sodas were $47.00 before tip. Heck I've paid for a $47.00 meal for two that wasn't as good as this was.
I'll think twice about coming here at night. But in the harsh light of day, it's a great meal. Casino is two stars, cafe is 4.5 stars-higher if their service could match the food,.
