In the world of the bigger-is-better Vegas this place is a hidden gem.
I give it 5 stars for 5 reasons:
1. Amazing cheap food.
2. Friendly, helpful staff
3. A combination of old and new machines
4. Lower limit blackjack tables with friendly dealers
5. Easy on-site free parking garage
I spent a lot of time here during my wedding weekend. We had a number of people in our group staying next door at the Super 8 and it was always easier to gamble and eat here than going over to the Strip about a mile away.
On our first night we realized how amazing the food was. (Thanks Yelp!) We ended up having the BBQ plate....10 bucks for a rack of ribs and a half chicken. Wow was it good! I had everything to eat here from pizza to their $7 filet mignon. Sometimes the service was a little slow but they were totally busy and seemed understaffed and the wait staff was usually in an upbeat mood. They did the best they could.
Do not forget that $7 filet mignon...you can't at least get that once while in Vegas. For that price you also get a free root beer or regular beer. Their homemade root beer is damn amazing. You almost get drunk off the root beer flavor, its that good.
They really do have a great selection of machines here...everything from the old-school physical reel one-armed bandit style to brand new ones like Sex-In-The City and Monopoly machines. (Watch that Sex-In-The City machine...its max bet is 6 bucks a pull!)
I played a good amount of blackjack here too...most tables were 5 bucks and the dealers were nice and pretty darn funny as well. (No matter if you are winning or losing)
On my return trips to Vegas I will be spending a good amount of time here.
