The Delta Saloon

The Delta Saloon is a property located in Virginia City, Nevada and will be one of only two in town we list (Mark Twain Casino because it’s 24/7 will be the other) as none of the casinos in this town are terribly big. In fact, we mainly want to talk about the super-cool Virginia City than we do the casinos, though we guess the two things are kind of inseparable.

As much as can be done, Virginia City, Nevada, has taken a piece of the Old West and has tried to keep it the same to the greatest extent possible.

Virginia City is the county seat of Storey County, Nevada, which itself is home to barely more than 4,000 residents in total. Virginia City itself, based on the 2020 U.S. Census, is home to a sparse 779 residents. You might think that Virginia City is located in the center of the state where there is virtually nothing, but no, it’s actually just a bit east of the South Lake Tahoe region.

That said, Virginia City is the dream of many Old West Historians, mostly because they can visit the town and actually live the dream! Virginia City is an old mining down where guests of the area can go and see the mines (and maybe even try to do some digging) for themselves. In addition to that, there are many presentations and displays that examine the mining history of the area. Virginia City is also home to a handful of parades every year, so you might schedule your visit accordingly.

If you’re looking to stay in Virginia City, then you will want to book at one of the many inns or beds and breakfast in the area, which can be found Faro, so the concept of gambling was not totally foreign to them.

If you follow the link above, then you’ll be taken to Virginia City’s website and you can check out everything else that there is to see and do in town.

With that, we turn to Delta Saloon, located at 18 S C Street in Virginia City, Nevada.

Actually, just recently, Delta Saloon got rid of their slot machines, though they still show the, “Suicide Table,” at which a Faro player apparently killed himself after losing $17,000 (which, we assure you, was a TON of money in the 1800’s), so that’s fun. That’s just a part of Virginia City history though, and so is this location having slots. Don’t worry, we will discuss Mark Twain Casino in a bit and there are other Virginia City saloons with a few slots. If you’re down there, you’re really just there to see the city and probably don’t care about any one casino property, so we’re not going to list them all.

Dini’s Lucky Club Casino

Dini’s Lucky Club Casino is located at 45 North Main Street, Yerlington, Nevada. If you want a little bit more information on Yerlington, then please check out the Pioneer Crossing Casino information below. Pioneer Crossing is probably the casino that you’re more likely to visit if you’re from out of town, anyway.

Sources say that there are more than 170 total slot, video keno machines here, but at barely over 3,000 square feet of gambling space, they’d be pretty packed in. They also claim to be the oldest family-owned casino in the state, which is probably true.

The property is home to an American style cafe that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days per week. Additionally, the property features a buffet on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

If you’re in the Yerlington area, then you may find yourself staying at one of the Inns in town, so why not check out both this and the Pioneer Crossing Casino while you’re there?

El Capitan Casino and Lodge

El Capitan Casino and Lodge is the hottest place in Hawthorne, Nevada, which isn’t particularly difficult to do in a Census-Designated Place with a population of fewer than 2,700 that acts as the County Seat in a county that has fewer than 4,500 residents. Is it way out in the middle of the state? No, because there is absolutely NOTHING out there. Hawthorne, NV is actually situated just southeast of the South Lake Tahoe region, so it’s not too far from the beaten path.

Located at 541 F Street in Hawthorne, El Capitan is home to a Travelodge Hotel that features 103 guestrooms and suites. That’s probably where you are going to end up staying if you’re ing through the Hawthorne area, or are in town to visit family or friends…because we have to be honest and it that we can’t think of any other reason that you would ever be there.

The Travelodge is fine by its own standards and is convenient for guests as all rooms come equipped with wireless internet access as well as Coffee Makers, refrigerators and microwaves. The furnishings are pretty basic and a little bit dated, of course, but overall it’s pretty clean and what you would expect from a budget motel property.

The property is home to a seasonal outdoor pool and, if you’re going to be staying in town, your choices are this or a place called Hawthorne’s Best Inn. This place is cheaper and also has a casino, so check and check for me.

The property refers to itself as Hawthorne’s only, “Casino Resort,” on its website, which is a gratuitous use of the word, ‘Resort,’ but we will at least allow that this is the closest thing that the town has to a resort.

This property is home to about 200 slot, video poker and video keno machines. VPFree2 would credit it with two paytables on Video Poker that return in excess of 99%, but both of those start at the dollar denomination, which may be a bit rich for the blood of some of the guests who find themselves staying here.

The property is home to an American Diner-style restaurant which is open from 6:00a.m.-9:00p.m. seven days per week. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner all at a low price.

This is a place to consider if you happen to be staying in Hawthorne, Nevada, and if you happen to be ing through town and are tired, you will most likely be able to find a room. Overall, the property is pretty okay for what it is and has more going on than anything else you’re going to find in town.

Gold Ranch Dayton

Gold Ranch Casino Dayton is located at 755 Old US Highway 50 in Dayton, Nevada.

Located just east of the South Lake Tahoe areas in Lyon County, believe it or not, Dayton was home to Nevada’s first settlement. You could be forgiven for thinking that it might be somewhere around Las Vegas or in Reno, of course. The population of Dayton is between 9,300-9,400 residents, so even though it is a census-designated place rather than a city, it is the size of a small city.

Dayton is also home to a small casino called Carson Plains Casino, but there are only a few slot machines there, so it will not get a separate listing. It is also located on Old US Highway 50, basically just a little bit down the highway from Gold Ranch.

The Gold Ranch Casino in Dayton is home to a 20,360 square foot gaming floor, which makes it the largest casino in the nearby area. The property is home to more than 200 total slot, video poker and video keno machines, and while VPFree2 is aware of the property’s existence, it seems that nobody who reports to them has checked out the Video Poker offerings, as yet. Feel free to send us an E-Mail or update their site if you happen to know if there are any 99%+ RTP games located here.

It seems that they also have Bingo on Wednesdays.

The Como Cafe is the property’s eatery and opens at 8:00 a.m. for breakfast, remaining open until the middle evening hours for lunch and dinner, seven days per week.

Gold Ranch Dayton is the largest gaming facility in Dayton, which obviously isn’t saying much. But, if you happen to be ing through town, then you might as well stop in. It’s mainly a hangout for locals, which is fine.

Gold Town Casino

Gold Town Casino is located in Pahrump, Nevada, which itself is in Nye County and is the area in the state, more than any, known for its brothels!

When looking up information about the brothels, one of Google’s recommended searches was, “How much do the girls cost at Pahrump’s brothels?” , Google didn’t do that, the people doing the Google searches did that—keep it classy!

Anyway, you won’t find any girls to lease, or rent, or whatever you would call it at the Gold Town Casino, and to be honest, you won’t find much else, either. Located at 771 South Frontage Road, this casino is a glorified slot box with a gas station, convenience store and a hundred or so machines. VPFRee2 seems to be aware of it, but no paytables are listed, so perhaps nobody has been there to report on the offerings—we certainly haven’t.

The main eatery on the property is an American Cafe style restaurant called the Back Porch Cafe that serves breakfast, lunch or an early dinner on weekends. The property is also home to Slices and Scoops, which as you would expect, serves pizza and ice cream. Honestly, most people here are stopping in because of the gas station and convenience store.

Hotel Nevada and Gambling Hall

This casino is not to be confused with the Golden Gate Casino in Downtown Las Vegas which, prior to becoming a casino, was called the Hotel Nevada. This hotel Nevada and Gambling Hall originally opened at 501 Aultman Street in Ely, Nevada, in 1929 and was the tallest property in the entire state for a few years, believe it or not.

As it stands now, the property is home to a total of 67 guest rooms and suites as well as just shy of 3,000 square feet of gambling space, so the casino certainly did not expand much over the years.

Located in the middle part of the Eastern side of the state, Ely, Nevada is an old railroad town and it is from that the population started to increase here during the early part of the 20th century. Many Ely residents are descended from the folks who first built the town, and in addition to this hotel itself, there is plenty of history in the surrounding area to experience. It definitely retained some of its Old West type of flair, so you should have fun checking the place out.

Of course, Ely is not a destination town, so if you end up here, chances are that you are either driving to or from somewhere else, but it’s definitely worth spending a night and checking out the little community. The population of the city, which is the County Seat of White Pine County, Nevada, is 4,000 give or take a few.

Speaking of history, Ely is home to the Nevada Northern Railway Museum, which is sure to be an attraction suited for those with an interest in the history of the rails, particularly those in the Old West that were developed during the country’s westward expansion. The city is also well known for having several outdoor murals and sculptures, so it will be of interest to people with an interest in urban art.

The casino property is currently owned by Paul Kellogg and Gaughan Gaming, the latter of which is headed up by Paul Guaghan, the son of South Point Casino owner and casino magnate, Michael Gaughan, who himself donated a lot of furniture and gaming equipment not be used at South Point to this property. The reason that this property is not the longest running Nevada casino is because it actually closed for a few years during the 1980’s.

Hotel Nevada is home to more than 150 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines. It does not presently have any returns listed on VPFRee2, so it’s quite likely that nobody who posts to that site has ever been there.

The hotel itself is home to 64 guest rooms and suites which are a bit dated, but clean.

The property is home to one dining establishment, which is a Denny’s Restaurant, which is one of a large chain of American diner style restaurants. It might not necessarily be open 24/7 as they reduced their hours, reportedly as a result of Covid-19, but you can check their website for current hours if you’re going to be out that way.

If you want to book a room here, then you’re probably going to need to call the property. It looks like their website is supposed to have a link to its own online booking channel, but either the link or the booking channel itself does not actually seem to work.

Jailhouse Motel and Casino

Located at 211 5th Street in Ely, Nevada, the Jailhouse Motel and Casino is a small motel and casino property that is popular with locals in the area. If you would like a bit more information on the city of Ely, then please check out our listing for Hotel Nevada above as we talk a bit about the town there.

Standard rooms at this motel seem to be in the neighborhood of $60-$70 per night, most nights, but might occasionally be a bit more if there is something going on in the Ely area. In any event, the rates are definitely reasonable and all rooms have a refrigerator. Guests will also enjoy complimentary wireless internet access as well as the property’s small, but well-appointed, fitness center.

The rooms here are pretty Spartan, but are clean, comfortable and modern enough.

The property is home to 123 total slot, video poker and video keno machines and is a popular spot for locals who can often be seen having a few libations and playing the bartop Video Poker. It does not seem that anyone who posts to VPFree2 has been here, so we have no idea what the Video Poker paytables are like, feel free to let us (or them) know should you happen to stop in.

If you are visiting Ely, then this would definitely be a place that you should consider staying as the rooms are both decent and affordable.

In of restaurants, The Cellblock is the closest thing that they have to fine dining, but it’s a steakhouse that is open for dinner service seven evenings per week, and is at least unique, as you can eat your meal in an Old West style jail cell. Don’t worry, I don’t think that they will lock you in if you fail to finish everything on your plate—though my Great-Grandma would have.

The other eatery is Juanita and Chava’s Taco Shop, which does what it says on the box and gets its guests some tasty and low priced tacos quickly.

Unless you’re a history buff, we don’t know why you would be visiting Ely, but if you do, then you should cut out some time to check out the Jailhouse Casino.

Lakeside Casino Pahrump

Lakeside Casino is a casino and RV Park in Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada located at 5870 Homestead Road with more than 150 fully equipped RV Parking spots and wireless internet included with your parking spot rental.

Apparently, this place is home to an outdoor pool and hot tub and is owned and operated by the same entity that owns Arizona Charlie’s Boulder.

It is home to the Lakeside Cafe, which features an American menu and opens at 8:00 a.m. for breakfast and stays open until the middle evening hours, also serving lunch and dinner. This dining spot is pretty affordable.

The property is home to a Bingo Room that is open seven days per week and features four live Bingo sessions per day, so that’s something.

The property is also home to more than 200 total slot, video poker and video keno machines.

When you’re booking, just make sure that this is the casino that you want, as it could easily be confused with Iowa.

Longstreet Inn, Casino, Motel and RV Resort

Longstreet Inn, Casino, Motel and RV Resort is mostly going to be a place that people check out if they are ing through the State of Nevada, or just recreationally tooling around (assuming anyone even does that with the gas prices right now—11/21) and decides to stop for a night. It is located at 4400 State Route 373 at Stateline, Amargosa Valley, Nevada.

Amargosa Valley is located in Nye County, Nevada, which is about one of the largest concentrations of people that you are going to see in the center part of the state. Most of the County is owned by the Federal Government and is used as a nuclear testing site as well as a nuclear waste dump—fun!

This hotel casino property is located justs even miles north of the Death Valley Junction, cue the Undertaker’s theme song, so there’s really not a whole hell of a lot out this way, but if you go outside in the Summer months, you might mistake the place for Hell. Our advice, more than anything, is DO NOT run out of gas in this part of the state. If you’re not familiar with the surrounding land, do not a gas station without topping off.

For its part, Longstreet is home to a sixty room hotel and also has parking for as many as fifty RV’s, so many people ing through this part of the country, for what reason we have no idea, will stop here to rest overnight, and maybe even stay for a couple of days. Most of our readers will not be out this way as it consists of desert, desert and more desert…if you get bored of that, then you can go see some more empty desert to break the monotony.

Guests of the motel section of the property will enjoy access to wireless internet and an outdoor pool and hot tub. According to their website, there is live entertainment every weekend. The hotel rooms are honestly pretty nice, dated, but in a quaint and good way…some are very large. However, the prices might be more than you are expecting to pay in the middle of absolutely nowhere as the rates are generally over $100/night, even on weekdays, for their most basic rooms.

The 2,500 square foot casino floor looks more like someone’s living room, just a large version of a living room, and is home to fifty combined slot, video poker and video keno machines. It’s something of an afterthought for this property, at least, it seems that way.

The property is home to Jack’s Cafe, which is a casual American restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, all at reasonable prices. The property also has a steakhouse called Nebraska Steakhouse, which did not reopen post the Covid-19 related closures, but their website promises that this location will be reopening soon.

The property is also home to a gas station, which is probably why the vast majority of visitors stop here. If you’re tired and want to spend the night, then the property is perfectly fine, but if you’re here at all, then it’s most likely because you are on your way somewhere else.

Mark Twain Casino

Mark Twain Saloon and Casino at 62 S C Street in Virginia City, Nevada (not to be confused with Mark Twain Casino in Missouri) is our Virginia City selection for a listing here because it is open 24/7 and is the only Virginia City casino, as of the time of this writing, that can say that.

Most visitors to Virginia City are there for the historical experience and will generally not have much interest in gambling, but Mark Twain Casino is here for those of you who would also like to play some (mostly) old school slot machines while you’re visiting the historic landmark. There are 32 total machines and bar top video poker in this saloon.

Model T Casino

The Model T Casino is located at 1130 Winnemucca Boulevard, in Winnemucca, Nevada, and is located inside of the property that houses the Quality Inn, which is a Choice Hotels International franchised hotel.

As far as Winnemucca goes, it is located in the Northwestern part of the state and serves as the County Seat, as well as the only incorporated city, within Humboldt County. The city itself is not exactly densely populated, but it’s also not exactly small and boasts about 7,800 residents as of the time of this writing.

Winnemucca is an old gold mining community that actually still does some gold mining. It first became populated as a result of not only the gold mining, but also as being a part of the Central Pacific Railroad, and eventually, the Transcontinental Railroad.

Winnemucca was once known for having many brothels, particularly a couple of decades ago, but apparently that business fell off as there haven’t been any active brothels in more than five years. As we as we understand it, brothels could still be legally licensed in the city, but there must not be that much interest in them.

Aside from the gold mining and some other industry, Winnemucca is home to a few different casinos and the Model T Casino is one of them.

Guests of the Quality Inn will enjoy a refrigerator and microwave in all rooms as well as coffee makers and wireless internet access. Most guests of this casino hotel will usually be in town visiting family or friends, or alternatively, will have some kind of work they are doing in the area. As a result, this hotel casino sees many extended stay guests come through its doors. When the season is right, there’s also an outdoor pool available for guests of the hotel to enjoy.

Room rates tend to be around $100/night, which isn’t particularly cheap, but there’s apparently enough business in the Winnemucca area to justify those kinds of rates, either that, or not a lot in the way of hotel competition.

The property is home to more than 200 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines as well as four Blackjack Tables. It doesn’t seem to be listed on VPFree2, which could just mean that nobody who reports to that website has ever been there to check out the Video Poker paytables. If you live around there and happen to be reading this, maybe let them know if there are any good machines at this small casino.

The property is also home to the Model T Diner, which opens at 5:00 a.m. seven days per week for those who need to get an early start and stays open most hours of the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu there is pretty much American diner food at the prices that you would expect. In any event, the property is a popular haunt for locals as well as those coming in from out of town. Some websites credit them with having a few restaurants, but Model T Diner is the only one that they say they have, so that’s what we’re going with.

Pahrump Nugget

Located at 681 NV-160, the Pahrump Nugget is running away the nicest hotel-casino property that you are going to find in Pahrump, which is part of Nye County.

The property is home to 69 guest rooms and suites (it’s really hard for me to believe that coincidental, given what Pahrump is best known for) and offers a coffee maker, refrigerator and wireless internet access in all of their guest rooms.

In addition to the casino and dining amenities, Pahrump Nugget is also home to a bowling alley with several lanes.

The rooms are pretty simply appointed, but clean and the color scheme is relatively modern. It’s pretty comparable to what you might expect from a lower-end limited service hotel, which again, means it’s about as well as you are going to do if you are staying in Pahrump.

Room rates are going to be just south of $100 for their standard rooms, on average, weekdays and weekends included. Because this property has absolutely zero shame, they charge a Resort Fee of $10/night…I guess being surrounded by a bunch of desert is what is required for a place to constitute a resort, in their view. I wish I could say that their Resort Fee is a surprising development, but it’s not…who doesn’t like getting money without actually doing anything for it?

The Pahrump Nugget features something in the order of 400 slot machine, video keno and video poker games ranging in denomination from pennies to ten bucks per credit. According to VPFree2, a few of the machines have a Bonus Poker paytable that, with Optimal Strategy, returns slightly more than 99%, so while that sucks by Nevada Casino standards…it’s better than nothing and it’s not as if Pahrump Nugget is surrounded by competition…they effectively own most of Pahrump.

The eight table games are surprisingly diverse with Blackjack, Roulette, High Card Flush, Heads up Hold ‘Em and Four Card Frenzy. You might want to call and see the usual days and times of operation if, for some reason, you are planning on heading out this way and want to play something other than Blackjack.

The property is home to a surprisingly nice William Hill Race and Sportsbook that was clearly recently renovated and is home to more big screen TV’s lining the walls than you would probably expect. Another surprise is the sizeable Bingo Room that is not only open seven days per week, but is also home to six daily sessions and is the only room of its kind in the Pahrump area.

The property is home to two eateries, with the first being Stockman’s Steakhouse, which is open Wednesday-Sunday evenings for dinner service and has this to say:

Stockman’s Steakhouse is the perfect venue for any special occasion; Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, New Year’s Eve, date night, you name it. Our award-winning steakhouse was voted best steakhouse in Nevada magazine. All of our steaks are USDA choice or higher. Indulge yourself with one of our signature cocktails or a glass off our eclectic wine list.

The steakhouse certainly seems nice and is kind of a little bow on what is, honestly, a nicer property than most people from outside of the Pahrump areas would expect to find all the way out here.

The other eatery is the Golden Harvest Cafe, which is similar to the others like it and opens for breakfast at 6:00 a.m. and stays open throughout most hours to serve lunch as well as dinner seven days per week. If you’ve been to one of these locations before, then you know what you’re getting.

Pahrump Nugget obviously doesn’t have the greatest assortment of dining establishments or the best Video Poker paytables, but it has more than we would expect for a location out in the middle of the desert and not really surrounded by much and the facilities are much nicer than we would expect. If you’re not from this region, then we can’t even guess why you might be staying out here, but if you are, this is probably the place to do it.

Pioneer Crossing Casino (Dayton)

You can read a little more about Dayton in our Gold Ranch Dayton listing above, but there’s also a Pioneer Crossing Casino location in Dayton and maybe your station for gaming edification if you happen to be in that part of the nation. They have roughly 200 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines.

They do not have any Video Poker paytables listed on VPFRee2, but it’s just as likely that nobody who reports to that website has been to this casino; they probably haven’t been to Dayton, either. Unless you’re visiting family or friends, there’s really no reason for anyone to be in this area—no offense to them meant.

They are home to the Branding Iron Cafe, which is universally known as the greatest restaurant in the State of Nevada. Okay, it’s not, but the food is pretty good and they serve reasonably priced breakfasts, lunches and dinners from 7:30a until the middle evening hours. I’m surprised it’s not open earlier, maybe the Dayton locals like to sleep in.

Pioneer Crossing Casino (Fernley)

The Pioneer Crossing Casino in Fernley, Nevada is the same as the other Pioneer Crossing casinos, except it is in Fernley and has closer to 250 machines.

Pioneer Crossing Casino (Yerlington)

The Pioneer Crossing Casino is located at 11 North Main Street in a place called Yerington, Nevada.

For those who don’t know (which is likely most non-Nevada residents reading this), Yerington Nevada is just East of the South Lake Tahoe region and is about an hour driving almost due south of Fallon, if that helps at all. Yerington is the County seat of Lyon County and is home to more than 3,000 residents, which might not sound like a big county seat or a well-populated county—because it isn’t. Most of the middle section of Nevada isn’t really home to much of anything.

It’s kind of funny that the casinos didn’t get centered around this area, as the overall climate of Yerington, at least in my opinion, is one of the most reasonable in the entire state. Winter days can definitely get cold, especially by Nevada standards, but being from the Northeastern part of the United States, that’s something that I’m used to. In any event, the Summers in this area don’t get particularly hot with the highs being something similar to what you might expect if you have been to the South Lake Tahoe area. It seems like a pretty nice place to live, in that regard.

The town is home to a few small parks and fields, otherwise, there’s probably not much to do other than go to the Pioneer Crossing Casino, so let’s get into it.

The facade of the building has something of an Old West theme. The property is not home to a hotel itself, but there are a handful of small hotels and inns, such as the Yerington Inn, in the town. Most people visiting the town either stopped whilst driving through the state or are visiting friends and family, so we understand that it’s unlikely many of our readers will end up here.

Pioneer Crossing Casino is home to a 12 lane bowling alley with a snack bar and an arcade, but according to their website, it is presently closed as of the (November, 2021) time of this writing. If you are thinking of visiting this town for some reason, then you can check their website or call and see if this has changed.

The Pioneer Crossing Casino is also home to the Yerington Movie House, which features classic movies mostly situated on weekends. It’s a legitimate community affair, however, as 100% of the profits go to the Boys and Girls Club of Mason Valley, which are the same kids that learn job skills by staffing the movie theater. According to their website, it is also closed as of the time of this writing, but according to their Facebook page, they should be reopening in the relatively near future. We would recommend checking their website, or calling, if you are going to be in the area, for more details.

The property is home to more than 140 combined slot, video poker and video keno machines. It’s not listed whatsoever on VpFree2, but that’s mostly likely because nobody who reports to that site has ever been there to report the Video Poker paytables. They might be decent, please shoot us an E-Mail and let us know if you ever happen to visit the town.

According to their website, they feature the only Blackjack Table within a fifty mile radius, and it looks like it is one of a few Blackjack tables. It appears that the property also has occasional live bingo, which is evidently the only Live Bingo that you will find in a fifty mile radius.

The Branding Iron Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch Sunday-Wednesday as well as being open for breakfast, lunch and dinner on Thursday-Saturday. It’s a very low-priced American style cafe with seemingly great food, so you should stop in and eat if you are ing anywhere near this town.

While the property is not home to an actual sportsbook, it does have a sportsbar and you can make your bets at the William Hill Sports Betting kiosk located on site.

That covers the Pioneer Crossing Casino of Yerington, which is the best casino in the city of Yerington, by a mile. Seriously, though, if you’re anywhere near the town, you should stop by and check the place out while you have a meal. It’s always nice to small-town places when you can and it seems like this establishment does a lot for the Yerington community. Personally, I’m going to make it a point to try to drive down next time I go to Reno.

Prospector Hotel and Gambling Hall

The Prospector Hotel and Gambling Hall is located 1501 East Aultman Street in Ely, Nevada and originally opened in 1929. If you’re looking for more information on Ely, then we would refer you to our Hotel Nevada listings, which discusses the city with some light details.

This small casino property is home to just over 100 combined slot, video poker and video keno games.

Additionally, this property is home to a Mexican Steakhouse that is popular with locals, called Margarita’s Authentic Mexican Steakhouse.

Ramada Ely

The Copper Queen Casino is located inside of the Ramada in Ely, which is a chain of franchised hotels under the Wyndham Worldwide umbrella. You can check out their booking webpage here, and guests will enjoy wireless internet, an indoor pool and a hot tub—but the, “Casino,” is really kind of incidental.

There happens to be something around eighty total video poker, video keno and slot machines here, so not really much of a casino to speak of. There is also a small restaurant on site that serves American food.

Unless you really want an indoor pool, our opinion is that the Jailhouse in Ely is a much cooler place to stay, not to mention cheaper…and Hotel Nevada is more historic. That said, if you stay at a lot of Wyndham hotels, then you might choose to stay here just because of the Wyndham Rewards points you can earn.

Saddle West Hotel, Casino and RV Resort

Located in Pahrump Nevada, Nye County, at 1220 South Highway 160, Saddle West is another casino hotel property in this town. It’s not quite as nice as the Pahrump Nugget, but it will get the job done if you happen to be in the Pahrump area.

We wanted to check out their booking site to look at rates, but it doesn’t seem to be working and says that there are no rooms available, which we find very hard to believe, regardless of which days you pick. With that, it directs you to call the hotel…which we really don’t feel like doing just to get a sampling of prices. If you want to stay there, then you can see if their booking site is working now, if not, there’s a toll-free number you can call.

The property is nice enough, aesthetically speaking. The hotel rooms are very, very basic, but clean enough. What they really want to sell you on is the property’s landscaping and greenery, particularly in the areas of the outdoor pool, which is certainly nice enough, I guess. To be completely honest, it pretty much just looks like the outdoor pool, during the Summer, at the apartment complex where I live in the Mid-Atlantic region. I guess that’s impressive considering this place is in the middle of a desert, though.

In total, the property is home to 155 total guest rooms and suites and is somewhat cheaper than the Pahrump Nugget, which is a bit the nicer of the two. Additionally, the property is home to Live Bingo, but does not have any Table Games. There are also 80 spaces available for RV’s.

The Silver Spur Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, is extremely cheap and is the property’s only restaurant.

If you’re going to Pahrump and care more than anything about getting a cheap room…and don’t mind that it would have been considered basic and dated circa 1999, then the Saddle West might be the place for you. In my opinion, this is one of the only times that I would recommend dropping a few extra bucks and choosing the Pahrump Nugget, besides, Pahrump Nugget has Table Games and a sportsbook. This really is the far inferior of the two properties and it defies explanation (at least, to me) why anyone from out of the area would choose this one. According to VPFree2, the Video Poker here also sucks with only one paytable barely over 98%.

Stagecoach Hotel and Casino

While a place called Stagecoach in the middle of Death Valley might sound a but ominous, this Beatty located casino (Beatty, Nevada, Nye County) is a small casino hotel that is home to an arcade for kids and offers its guests wireless internet access.

In addition to the arcade, the property is also home to a pleasant outdoor pool and spa that is adorned by palm trees. Most guests of the property will be out here because they are visiting the area of Death Valley, Nevada, which some people seem to do intentionally for reasons that defy explanation. (Just kidding) Either way, some people like to come out this way and those who do would likely to well to stay at the Stagecoach Hotel and Casino.

In of gambling offerings, the property is apparently home to about 100 slot, video poker and video keno machines. Additionally, there are tables for both Live Craps and Blackjack as well as Electronic Roulette, so that might be more than you expect for being in the literal valley of the shadow of death. This should not be confused for the Stagecoach Casino in Montana.

Sundance Casino

Another Winnemucca casino property is Sundance Casino which has 99 total machines and a snack bar. We wouldn’t normally list a non-hotel casino with fewer than 100 machines, but they seem to be listed in a lot of places, for some reason.

Terrible’s Pahrump

Located at 1750 Pahrump Valley Boulevard, Pahrump is home to a location for Terrible’s Casinos in the form of Terrible’s Pahrump. There’s a restaurant called Moonshiners, which serves American food and, give or take, 200 total gaming machines.

Tonopah Station

Tonopah Station is a small casino hotel that is located at 1137 Erie Street in Tonopah, Nevada and is sometimes called Station House Tonopah, which might have been a previous name for the property. The property is home to a small antique museum and is particularly known for extended stay lodging, apparently some people have to be in this area for extended periods of time.

The hotel is home to a total of 75 rooms and is typically less than $75 per night, so it’s a cheap place to stay if you happen to be ing through that area.

In of dining, this property is home to the Stage Shop Cafe, which is a reasonably priced American Diner that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days per week. This is one of only a few restaurants in the Tonopah area, so guests of the hotel will almost certainly find themselves there at some point, especially if they are staying multiple days.

The casino floor consists of 2,900 square feet of gambling space and contains 89 slot, video poker and video keno machines as well as a Blackjack table.

Topaz Inn

The Topaz Lodge is at 1979 US-395m, which is located in Gardnerville, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Cashell Enterprises.

In of their gambling offerings, the property is home to a total of about 175 slot, video poker and video keno machines ranging from pennies to $5 in denomination. The property is also home to a few Gaming Tables and spread Blackjack and Three Card Poker.

Additionally, they have Live Bingo, which comes as a bit of a surprise to me, but it must be popular with the locals. The hotel rooms are extremely dated and you will want to call for reservations because we can’t find a way to book them via their website—which keeps redirecting us to the page we were already on. That may have changed since this was published.

In of eateries, the property is home to the Lakeview Coffee Shop, which features a Casual American food menu and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days per week. The property is normally home to a steakhouse, but it has not reopened since Covid-19 and their website claims it is, “Currently closed due to Covid restrictions,” even though that makes absolutely no sense because why could one restaurant be open, but not the other.

It’s no matter; if you’re in this area of the state, then you might consider staying here. If you’re from outside of this general area, then there’s probably no reason that you would ever be visiting Gardnerville.

The Winnemucca Inn

Located at 741 West Winnemucca Boulevard, the Winnemucca Inn is a small casino hotel located in Winnemucca, which we discussed in a little bit of detail in our listing for Model T Casino above, so feel free to check that out.

The first thing that we should get out of the way is that you might see listings for a Red Lion Hotel and Casino Winnemucca, which are referring to this place. Apparently, this establishment used to be franchised as a Red Lion Hotel, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

This property is home to 105 guest rooms and suites, which are slightly dated and a bit basic, but on the other hand are spacious, clean, attractive and mostly have outdoor patio and balcony areas, which guests are sure to enjoy as they can easily get some fresh air. There is also an outdoor seasonal pool and hot tub.

The property’s small casino is home to a total of about 120 slot, video poker and video keno machines as well as a William Hill Sports Betting Kiosk located near the property’s casino bar.

The property’s restaurant is open from 6:00a.-9:00, seven days per week, and features a low priced menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner that consists of American food.

There’s really not much to speak of, but the hotel is nice enough to merit consideration if you happen to be staying in Winnemucca.

Winners Inn Hotel and Casino

Winners Inn Hotel and Casino is the last of our various Nevada listings and the last listing in Winnemucca, Nevada.

The casino part of the property is home to about 200 total slot, video poker and video keno machines and is open 24 hours per day. Additionally, they have Blackjack, Three Card Poker and the only Roulette Table in Humboldt County, so there are a few Table Games on offer, as well.

The property is home to a total of 122 guest rooms and suites, with standard room rates on their somewhat dated and basic rooms being generally a little over $100 per night.

The property is home to The Star Broiler restaurant, which is an American Cafe style place that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days per week.

There’s really not much else to talk about when it comes to the Winners Inn. If you’re in Winnemucca, for some reason, and you want a place that has a few table games-there it is.
