Situated within a walking distance from the Rio and Palms this is a frugal alternative to high strip prices. A free shuttle carries you to the center of the strip. Good rooms. A great buffet, my favorite for breakfast.



A small live poker room currently hosting a $22 tournament at 10 each morning. Sign up early and go to breakfast while you wait. 9/6 jacks or better is the best VP.



In the afternoons the Royal Dixie Jazz Band plays old jazz from your grandmother's era. You can take the ACG 2 free drink coupon, buy a hot dog at the sportsbook for a dollar (with sauerkraut) and have a frugal lunch with live entertainment.



In December this casino fills with cowboys and their cowgirls, features country music, and is fun to visit. Prices then are outrageous, but generally rooms can be found for very little money.
