Not worth a visit anymore

We used to visit this casino each trip because of the abundance of full pay video poker machines and promotions. Over the past several years the inventory of FPVP has been devestated and promotions scaled back. Several years ago we stayed a few nights in the...

Bellagio Lite

This is our favorite casino/hotel in Atlantic City because of the abundance of 9/6 JOB video poker machines, room quality, service and restaurants. Modest quarter VP play will result in free room offers for 2 nights mid-week plus cashback even in the summer time. Rooms are...

Good Budget Choice

We have stayed numerous times at Boulder Station due to the low cost rooms, video poker and restaurant choices. Rooms are slightly above average and there is a guard checking IDs until early in the morning. On the negative side the lighting in the room is poor for reading...

So Sad

We used to gamble at Casino MonteLago every trip until they cut back on the number of FPVP machines. Someone decided 25 cent VP players were going to break the bank, so they slowed the machines and made every other machine a short pay. ...

Last of its kind

Jackie Gaughan is a hold over from a different era. It is what old Las Vegas was not so many years ago before the corporate suits showed up. It is great to see Jackie walking around the casino at night. I highly recommend...

The Thrifty Choice

The LVA has had the $4.95 off the menu steak special on its top 10 list for years. It is a must stop for every trip for the inexpensive drinks, the ambiance (just kidding), second hand smoke (just kidding) and the karaoke (just kidding). ...

No Way Jose

I stayed once at Fitzgerald's on a Saturday night and came away from the experience determined that I would never do it again. I also had the buffet once can came away with the same conclusion. Steve Connelly, an Elvis impersonator, is...

Getting Old

This casino is the self proclaimed Royal Flush capital of the world. What it really is the smokiest casino in the world. Yes the VP is good, but the plus end there. I was very disappointed in the buffet and Gardunos.

Gone from good to bad

This casino was originally the Reserve where full pay video poker ruled, the employees were friendly and the buffet was one of the best in Las Vegas. Enter Stations Casino and the only the VP survives. Room quality has deteriorated even during a full scale...

A Frugal Alternative to the Strip

We visit the Gold Coast on every trip in order to eat at the buffet and enjoy the lounge acts. Dim Sum is now offered every day at Ping Pang Pong. The casino attracts retirees and blue collar locals except when it plays host...

An Upscale Alternative to Strip

We have stayed at GVR twice on marketing offers and love the rooms though rack rates combined with the resort fee is over a budget. The rooms are spacious, 450 sf, well appointed and the baths have separate glass enclosed showers with separate tub. The buffet...

A good alternative

We stayed here while visiting Reno and were more than happy with both the hotel and casino. Rooms were relatively inexpensive and of satisfactory quality. The casino seems to meander under the highway overpass. Low rollers, like myself, will enjoy the...

One of Our Favorites

We really enjoy the Orleans' experience from the rooms, restaurants, entertainment and gambling. Weekday rooms are a bargain compared to comparable properties located on or off Strip. Rooms are larger than average, same with the bathrooms. The pool area is nicer than other locals properties though inferior...

Not for Locals Only

Rooms are decent size and face either the atrium (more expensive) or outside. We receive quarterly postcard offering very good weekday rates and usually book weekends through travelaxe. One negative is you have to walk through much of the casino to access the very small pool area. ...

Worth the Drive

This property is situated some 6-7 miles south of the next closest casino on the Strip, but it is well worth the drive. Room rates are excellent given the quality/newness/size of the rooms. Each room has a 42" plasma TV and a choice of 2 doubles or a...
