Casino Reviews

The Aria Casino is located in the new City Center complex developed by MGM Grand. This is a huge complex and we will describe it in other posts, however this one will focus on the buffet at this casino. The buffet is open and bright, with windows along two sides. This is unusual since many casino buffet rooms are inside and enclosed on all four sides. One side looks out on to the pool area, two of the hot tubs while the other looks onto the pool area entrance. So you have some great views while dining at the buffet and enjoying your lunch or dinner.

We went to the casino and tried their buffet during May 2011 and found it to be excellent. Our overall top buffet is at the Mirage Hotel and casino, however this one ranks a close second. The price is reasonable and the decor and serving dishes are unique as you may observe in some of the pictures. The deserts are excellent, small portions which is ok with us since this means you can try a variety of deserts without wasting a lot of food.

The day we went they offered crab legs hot or cold and of course shrimp. They had all of the other main menu items along with various nationalities as well from Indian,, Mexican, Italian and Japanese. There is definitely something for everyone including the traditional meat and potatoes which many people love.

You definitely will not go hungry here!

Visiting the Fremont Street Experience is one of the must things to do in Las Vegas. If you are staying somewhere on the strip in one of the strip hotels, take a taxi, the bus or drive down to downtown Las Vegas and see the Fremont Street Experience. Best time to go is early evening just before it gets dark. Park at the Golden Nugget hotel parking lot and get your parking stub stamped at the cashiers cage in the Golden Nugget and then head out to the street.  The picture on the left is showing one of the shows that is  done in lights on the ceiling. Of course you can play a little in the casino or have dinner there or in any of the other hotels,  but the main reason we are suggesting you want to make the trip down is to visit Fremont street and take in all of the action.

What is the Fremont Street Experience?

 The entire street, which is the original downtown Las Vegas mecca is covered over for about six city blocks. On the ceiling every 30 minutes at night, they put on a sound and light show for all of the tourists. The lights from the casinos shown in the picture on the left are turned off and the show begins with a fabulous light and music show that really will enthrall just about anyone. There are no street lights on this section of Fremont street, since the casinos generate more light than any street light ever would. The street is closed to auto traffic and there are literally thousands of people strolling along and watching the show on the ceiling.

This picture  shows what the street looks like during the daytime. Nothing special, but you can see the supporting columns that hold the ceiling up and support the large speakers that deliver fabulous sound. When the light show is not on, there are many other activities as well taking place. it changes all of the time so if you do not see what we saw, I am sure you will see other things as well that we equally interesting.

For example there were two dance bands at either end if the street. These bands, the singers and the dancers were excellent and worth spending some time listening to. You can also zip lining along the street for several blocks as well. They have this set up above the street level and four people can go at the same time. Usually groups have races to see who can get to the other end the quickest.

There are also many people who will pose for a picture. There are cartoon characters as well as characters from various TV shows and of course there is always an Elvis or two. If you want to take your picture with one of these characters, note that they will always have their hand out for a tip. This is how they make their living and although they initially make it look like something that they just do for fun, they have their hands out for a tip. There was even a mini Elvis as shown in the picture on the left. And of course he wanted his tip afterwords.

If you have been to the Fremont Street Experience, write a comment or two about your experience. It is well worth spending the time to go there, just make sure you hold on tight to your wallet or purse while watching the show.

Well we just spent another fabulous two days at the Wynn Casino hotel in Las Vegas!  We had a Wynn hotel promotion and we use these every chance we get. This hotel in our opinion is the best hotel in the area and we always try to stay here when we come to Las Vegas.  When you are the best, you can also charge higher rates and the only way we can stay at the Wynn is by being there on a Wynn Hotel Promotions coupon which lately we receive quite often. Other hotels are charging less than one hundred dollars for the room, while the Wynn hotel can charge over $150 per room per night for the basic room which is very elegant and well appointed, and way up from there.Our room faced onto the strip and we had an absolutely fantastic view of the strip, the mall the western side of Vegas and of course the mountains. At night with all of the lights, we had a really fantastic view!

Play Were you Want to Stay

Our motto has always been, play were you want to stay, and we always want to stay at the Wynn hotel or it’s sister hotel the Encore. We have full descriptions of each of these hotels on our web site, but we just had to write this additional post, because we just got back from staying at this fabulous hotel. The picture above was taken from across the street in front of the Fashion Show Mall, which by the way is another place to visit while you are in Vegas. Wynn Hotel Promotions are really valuable when you think about it. Not only are we staying in a room that they usually sell for $150 plus, it is an extremely nice room and they also gives us $150 in free play. I know some people get a lot more, but for us and the level of gambling we do this is fabulous.

Visit the Wynn Casino – Get a slot Card

If you are in Las Vegas and staying at some other hotel, at least walk through the casino and I am sure you will be blown away. From the mountain out front with the water falls to the opulent shops in the promenade to the tree line walkway to the check in and the bright red casino, there is something for everyone. They even have an eighteen hole golf course at the back of the hotel should you wish to play. We have not checked out the prices for a round of golf, however I am sure they are expensive.

While you are there sign up for a slot card and play for at least a little while. Depending on your amount of play, they may send you an invitation to stay at the hotel for reduced rates!  For more information on Slot cards, check out our categories for more posts on this subject.

Always Tip the Waitress

You have to hand it to Steve Wynn. When you receive a Wynn Hotel Promotion inviting you to stay at their hotel and even give you free play, he knows you will spend money in his casino, in his restaurants and maybe a show. You can do all of that easily and really enjoy yourself. Drinks while playing in the casino are free and it would be easy to just take the drink and go on playing. We see lot’s of people doing just that. We believe that you should  always tip the waitress. They have to make a living too and besides once they know they are getting tips, you will have fantastic service.

We always tip a dollar and although that is not a lot, we receive the best service and never lack for a drink. Whether it is alcoholic,  juice, coffee or even a hot chocolate, they can deliver almost whatever you offer. Just make sure you tip them each time.

Well that sums up our trip to the Wynn hotel this year on a Wynn Hotel Promotion card. We are looking forward to going again soon. If you like the Wynn as much as we do, let us know. leave your comments too.

We recently visited Searchlight, Nevada and went to the  Nugget Casino in Searchlight for lunch. There are two casinos in this little village, one is the Nugget Casino and the other is called Terrible’s.

The village of Searchlight is at the intersection of routes 95 and 164 between Boulder City and Laughlin in the middle of the desert.  There is nothing around for miles, so this old mining town is a great spot to stop for gas, perhaps a bite to eat and also perhaps a bit of gambling.

The address is for those that need it is: 100 N. Hwy. 95, P.O. Box 187, Searchlight, NV 89406 and the phone number is (702)297-1201.

The Searchlight Nugget is a neat little casino with a bar, a small restaurant in the casino and of course approximately 90 slot machines. The town of Searchlight sports another casino, a gas station, a school and a small home development along with the usual set of trailers that make up the small population. People living in Searchlight, either work at the local businesses or work at the Lake Mohave park a few miles away.

Restaurant

The restaurant was busy when we stopped. We sat at the counter, since all of the tables were already taken and we also like to sit at the counter as a means of meeting people to learn about the surrounding area.  Well, the food was ok, however we were not overly impressed with the service. It took a long time to get our meal, perhaps because they were already busy when we arrived.

There was one major turn off for us and that was the waiters that served us. They were very nice people, friendly and offering good service. They talked to us, inquired where we were from, since it was pretty obvious that we were tourists. The thing that turned us off was their teeth. The obviously could not afford a dentist and as a result some were missing teeth and many of the teeth they still had were black. It is not a pretty site to look at when you are having your meal and someone is talking and smiling at you with a mouthful of bad teeth.  Some may say we are being snobbish or overly critical, however it was a shock to us. You just do not expect this when you are in a public restaurant that offers meals etc. The waiters lived in Searchlight or in a small trailer park a few miles away.

Entertainment

The Searchlight Nugget has 99 slot and video machines including an old western style “Mills Black Beauty” cowboy slot machine. The Searchlight Nugget has three gaming tables, a small bar/lounge with an old time Rock-Ola music box and a cashiers cage for change and to pay your restaurant check.

You can also take a 20 mile  drive over to Lake Mohave. The area – which is warm year-round – has some of the best water sports and outdoor adventure in the state. You can enjoy nature hikes, biking and horseback riding along the shore or you can rent a Jet Ski, sailboat, motorboat, canoe or kayak and get on the water. This is a state park and you will have to pay an entrance fee to get into the park. The Searchlight Nugget Casino Bar has live entertainment every weekend in the form of local and regional bands.

Reviews of the Nugget Casino in Searchlight

Although we have visited the Nugget Casino in Searchlight, we were also interested in what other people thought of the casino and the restaurant. Many found this to be a quaint little place with good food and a place to spend a few dollars at on the slots.

No one mentioned anything about bad service or really any major negatives. It is not a Las Vegas casino , that is for sure, but it is a nice spot to stop over at on your way to Vegas or to Laughlin , Nevada or points further south along route 95.

The New York Casino and hotel in Las Vegas is truly spectacular. Emulating the New York skyline with a roller coaster ride that runs through the casino and outside as well there is lots to see and do in this casino hotel in Las Vegas. The picture on the right was taken from one of the bridges that crosses the strip from the New York Hotel to the MGM Grand Casino on the other side of the road. This is one of the best panorama views that I have been able to take of this hotel.

We have stayed here several times and although the hotel is not our favorite, it is a very nice hotel to stay at. Personally I like the casino more than others due to its action orientation and night life atmosphere. You can roam the streets of downtown New York, visit a bar with dueling pianos or visit a pub were they dance on the bar.  The casino is in and around of this and they also have some really great slot machines. I have won a few jack pots as well here on slots and on video poker machines.

One time we were just walking by and my wife needed to use the bathroom. We went inside and I decided to play a video poker machine. Before she returned, I had hit a royal flush and earned a cool $1000. Now this is the way I like to gamble.

The picture on the left shows the skyline of the hotel at night. Again taken from one of the bridges crossing the strip You can see the wire fence in the foreground.  It really is a spectacular view and as we have already mentioned there is lots to do at this casino. Read on for more details about our New York New York Casino and hotel review.

Parking

There is ample parking at the New York hotel & casino in a large parking garage beside the hotel. There is no surface parking that we observed.

A nephew of mine and his wife are planing to go to Vegas for the first time and were asking were they should stay. I initially recommended they should stay at one of the following  hotels. They are all close to each other and in the center of everything.

• Mirage
• Treasure island (TI)
• Wynn,
• Venation
• Paris
• Bellagio

They are prime locations and often a little more pricey than some of the other hotels along the strip. My nephew is looking for something more affordable and sent the following note.

We got a price on a couple hotels you haven’t recommended, let me know what you think of these.

• Luxor
• Rio All Suite
• New York New York
• MGM Grand
• Mandalay Bay
• Aria

They are all 4 stars and are a couple hundred less than the Mirage which we are looking into instead of these options. If you could let me know your thoughts

 My comments on these hotels are as follows:

They are all very good hotels and we have stayed Mgm, NYNY, and Aria. It really comes down to location.

Rio- off the strip and you cannot walk to the strip. I think they have a shuttle that you can take or you can take a taxi. Apparently they have a really good night club there if you can get in

Mandalay Bay – very nice hotel, on the strip, across from the airport, but at the extreme south end of the strip, probably 2 miles from the mirage. lots of walking to get anywhere and you do not want to take taxis all of the time

Luxor – better location, on the strip, at the south end, still a long way from the main hotels.

Aria – on the strip, between NYNY and Bellagio, across the street from the Mgm Grand, good location , brand new and very modern looking. we personally do not like it because it is all glass and steel, grey, not the desert tones, huge place and offers everything you will want.

MGM – on the strip, huge, (5000 rooms) can take the monorail to other locations from this hotel, across the street from the NYNY and Aria .

New York, New York- I like this place,my wife not so much, unique in that it represents the ny sky line, and streets of new york inside in the restaurant area, has a roller coaster going through it, has two neat bars – coyotes and also the dueling pianos.

For my money I would stay at NYNY or Mgm. and get a M-life slot card to use when I am playing the slots there. . You can still walk to the Bellagio fountains, the Mirage volcano and the TI pirate show ( about a mile) as well as many of the other hotels along the strip.

Take Good Walking Shoes

Remember these hotels are huge, just to get from your room to the street is a good walk, so make sure you take good walking shoes.

For free drinks , make sure you have some money in the slot machine, whether you are playing or not, tip $1 for a drink for each of you and order whatever you want.

if you go downtown, take a taxi, do not walk. it is too far and there are some less than good areas on the way, especially at night.

A friend who has never been to Vegas before is going for the first time and will be celebrating his 30 year anniversary. This is a trip they both have been looking forward to for sometime. He asked me what I thought they should do while in Vegas. I sent them the following list of things to do and hopefully this will help other people going to Vegas for the first time as well.

Here is a list of things you may want to consider as something to do while in Vegas in addition to gambling and seeing all of the shows that are available, in no particular order

• Downtown Fremont experience at night
• Caesars Form indoor mall
• Venation indoor mall
• Take a ride on a Gondola at the Venetian
• Go to the top of the Effiel Tower at the Paris hotel
• Bellagio fountains
• Bellagio themed gardens off the main reception area
• Bellagio pool area
• Mirage volcano, at night weather permitting
• TI pirate show weather permitting
• Tour the casinos, many are just plain amazing – Bellagio, Caesars, Wynn,
• The shopping center mall across from Wynn

• Red rock canyons – 1 hour away
• Grand canyon – 5 hours by car, can also take helicopter rides
• Trip into the desert if interested
• Pool time at your hotel
• Search shows playing and book in advance – Circ de Soleil are spectacular
• Go to at least one good buffet – Wynn, Bellagio, Mirage
• Lots of inexpensive fast food places – at the mall, and some casinos
• Dueling piano bar at New York New York casino
• Tigers at the MGM Grand hotel
• Just walk the strip and take in the sites
• Sit at a bar in a casino, have a drink and people watch, Mirage Sports bar is good for this (if you are sitting at a bar with a 25 cent slot machine in front of you, stick a $20 bill in , play slowly and your drinks should be free)
• Split your meals when you can, most are huge and one person cannot eat everything by themselves
• Visit the Apple store in the Fashion Center mall across from the Wynn Casino
• Visit the Fashion Center Mall for all types of shopping. There is also a food court on the 3rd floor if you want a quick inexpensive meal
• Get a slot card and use it when you are playing. They are free and you might get free room offers in the future
• Sit at a slot machine, put $20 dollars in and play slow. Ask a waitress for a drink of pretty much any kind, and tip a dollar each time to have a free drink

Make sure you take really good walking shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking. Drink lots of water. You can be dehydrated quickly if it is hot.

Back in Sept of 2011, we wrote a post about receiving an invitation from the Encore and Wynn Casino in Las Vegas to stay free at either hotel. You can read this post by clicking here.   Well we went to Las Vegas and stayed in a suite at the Encore Hotel , which is part of the Wynn chain of hotels that were designed and built by Steve Wynn.

We were only on the 11th floor, however even with this view we were more than satisfied. The picture on the right shows you what we saw of the strip and also the mountains in the distance.

Circus Circus and the Las Vegas Hilton hotels are not far away and all in all we were very satisfied with this view.

Our room was also grand. It was a two room suite with a work area, large couch to recline on and a flat screen TV that rotated between the bedroom and the living room. Everything was elegant and the bathroom provided a shower as well as a tub to soak in. There was also another small flat screen TV in the bathroom to allow you to keep up with the news or your favorite soap TV show.

I added a couple of pictures at the bottom of this post to show you what the room is like. Hope you enjoy them. When you are staying free at a hotel like this you really appreciate just how nice they are. This is a 5 category hotel for sure.

We were very impressed with the hotel. The only negative and really all of the hotels in Las Vegas suffer from this is the size of the place. They are huge and that means a lot of walking. When you consider that there is probably 3000 rooms in the Encore and another 3000 rooms at the Wynn, these places get really large.

We tried gambling at Encore and it just did not work for us, so we would walk over to the Wynn casino, all indoors of course and play at the Wynn Casino. We did far better here and I must say that the waitresses were always around with free drinks for us. We tipped a dollar every time and they made sure we had what ever we wanted.

We also ate at the Switch restaurant located at Encore. This is the second time we have dined at this restaurant. My wife had Alaskan King Crab legs and I had the 9 oz filet Mignon steak. I was very satisfied with the steak, however my wife was disappointed with the crab legs. They were not very large and not very many for the price.  Overall we felt a bit rushed and the meal was very pricey.  With a glass of wine each and the meal it came to over $200 for the two of us and I think that this is really too much considering the service we received and the quality of the food.

For those of you who may not be aware the restaurant walls at Switch a;long with the ceiling change every 20 minutes or so. There are about 3 or 4 different designs that are displayed while you are dining. They change automatically and give you a different atmosphere each time. We saw 3 changes and it does get a bit boring the second time around. I would suggest you dine once to see this and then try another place.

Here are the pictures of our room that I promised earlier in this post. If you have stayed at the Encore and would like to leave comments , please do so at the bottom of this post.

If you cannot go to Paris France, why not come to Paris in Las Vegas. Admittedly it is not the same thing at all, however you can visit a replica of the Eiffel Tower and even take an elevator ride to the top. We have not stayed at the Paris hotel yet, however perhaps the next time we visit Las Vegas. It is centrally located along the strip and close to all of the major hotels on the strip such as Caesars, Bellagio, Ballys and many others.

Whether you spend time at this hotel or stroll along the strip, this is a great city to visit and the hotel will more than live up to it’s name.

Following is a quick summary of what you can expect. When we visit this hotel , we will update this post more with our own pictures and personal comments.

Slot Machines

There are over more than 1,700 slot machines which are set alongside streets capes, fountains and statues beneath the massive legs of our Eiffel Tower. You’ll find the very latest in themed slot machines, the most popular multi-line games and the infamous, statewide progressive Megabucks machines. The Champagne Slots, is in the high-limit slot area, which resembles an exclusive, Parisian courtyard.

Table Games

There have all of the popular table games that many people enjoy including: Craps ; Texas Hold’Em poker and Seven Card Stud; Baccarat ; Mini Baccarat ; Roulette with a wheel marked with numbers 1 through 36 and American roulette has a 0 and 00; Pai Gow

Restaurants

The Paris casino has great french based restaurants that offer the best in cooking for visitors. From 5 star restaurants to quick coffee shops, there is something for everyone. Café Belle Madeleine;Cafe Ile St Louis; Cafe du Parc; Eiffel Tower Restaurant; JJ’s Boulangerie; La Creperie; Le Provençal; Le Village Buffet; Les Artistes Steakhouse; Mon Ami Gabi; Le Burger Brasserie; Sugar Factory American Brasserie

Major Points of Interest

If you are just passing through the Paris Hotel and Casino, you will want to take a moment to see the following areas of the Paris Hotel and Casino

• Great French restaurants
• Great entertainment
• Eiffel Tower
• Outdoor café’s, particularly along the strip
• French atmosphere in the hotel
• Nice pool

What We Liked

• Great location for the hotel
• Outdoor café’s
• Some of the best French restaurants
• Eiffel tower
• A very charming hotel & casino
• Variety of slot machines
• Free drinks while gambling
• Buffet
• Pool area and spa free to hotel guests
• Hotel rates are very reasonable and competitive
• Covered garage parking
• Easy access from all highways
• Safe environment in the casino, hotel and parking areas

What We Did Not Like

There are no real complaints about the Paris hotel & casino

It is a 4 star hotel in our estimation and quite adequate for our needs

Slot Player Card

They are part of the Harrah’s Total Rewards slot players card system. Slot members can take advantage of benefits at many Las Vegas hotels,  as well as sister hotels in Tunica, Biloxi, Laughlin and Reno.

If you have not taken advantage of slot player cards, there are a number of benefits that many slot players should consider. Harrahs has hotels as well as casinos in most major markets across the country and all are available to Harrahs Total Rewards members. Free or discounted rooms, email mailing list of promotions, free or discounted meals, access to entertainment, and a tax report outlining your losses and wins for tax claim purposes.

Parking

There is ample parking at the Paris hotel & casino in a large parking garage beside the hotel. There is no surface parking that we observed. You can access the hotel from the garage via an elevator from all levels.

Directions:Located at 3655 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, it is easily reached from the Las Vegas Strip. Access to the Strip from I15 can be from a number of exits that will take you on to the strip and then to Paris. It is located across the road from the Bellagio, and it is beside Bally’s Casino right in the center of the strip action.

Well we just got an email from the Wynn casino in Las Vegas  offering us three free rooms at the Wynn casino or the Encore casino. We have to stay on a Sunday through Thursday night, which is fine for us and the Encore rooms are considered suites which are upgrades from the Wynn. Both are fantastic, and we are just so excited that we are getting these rooms for free. The cost of the room depends on the time of year and also how busy the hotel is on any given week. A friend is staying at the same time as us an must pay $149 a night which is supposed to be Casino Rate!

So with tax and everything that is almost a $600 value just in the rooms alone. It is nice coming to a casino knowing that you have already won and you are $600 ahead of the casino. So of course we are staying at the upgraded Encore for this trip and it is free! We will be gambling of course and may win or we may not, but at least we do not need to worry about paying for the rooms on this trip.

Free Credit

But it does get better. They also are giving us $150 in free credit  which we can use at slot machines to play on and perhaps win some more money. Once at the TI or Treasure Island, we won $800 on our free play.

Booked out Stay

We have booked our stay in Oct and are planning our trip now, including the games we will play while we are there, the restaurants we are going to go to and also the shows we may see. Who knows we may end up spending all of our time in the casino playing the slots especially if we are lucky and win some money!

The Wynn and the Encore are sister hotels and casinos. You can play in either and use your red slot card to play, rack up points and perhaps earn more comp’s. They are connected by a shopping mall which has many of the famous shops that only the rich can shop at and of course big winners at the slots or tables.

It is nice to browse but way beyond anything I want to pay for clothes and other things. The restaurants at either hotel are some of the best and we have yet to decide which one we will go to.  I am really looking forward to enjoying one of the best steaks you can have while in Las Vegas.

We have written reviews on both the Wynn and the Encore, which you may want to take the time to read. Click here for the Wynn and Click here for the Encore. Hope you enjoy and wish us luck!
