I went to Aliante on a recent trip to Vegas. It reminded me a lot of Red Rock Casino. It's clean and spacious just like Red Rock. The overall looks is very Red Rock too. Very simple. It's also nice because when you walk in, you don't get overwhelmed with the smell of smoke. Here you can't really smell the smoke at all.
Unlike Red Rock, there didn't seem to be much folks here though. It could be because it's far from the strip but then again so is Red Rock. It is a local casino but I've been to other local casinos that had more visitors. One side of the casino had a whole bunch of empty slot machines hehe...someone made a comment that it could be because it's hard to win money here.
There's plenty of things here to do with the family or with your friends. There's a giant food court where there is a Dairy Queen, an Orange Julius, a 24 hour Johnny Rockets and a submarine sandwich place. There is also an Original Pancake House here :). There's also a movie theater and an arcade. They have an ETA lounge/club with bright cool pink lights.
It seemed like an alright place. I wouldn't say it's the most happening place but if you want just kinda a quiet not so crowded place, then this maybe your spot. Not quite sure if you'll win the jackpot here though lol.
