The Rainbow Club & Casino In Henderson, Nevada

2 Comments

If you have the desire for great food and a smaller gaming facility, check out the Rainbow Club & Casino in downtown Henderson, Nevada. The Rainbow is one of our family’s favorite places to hang out. They have some fun promotions as well as a great restaurant to dine in.

Images, is the restaurant located inside the Rainbow. They serve up a little bit of everything. One of their huge draws is their $1.99 breakfast which gives you a great variety of protein and carbs; on weekends, the price does go up to $2.39, but either way, you can’t beat it. The Rainbow also offers great specials on steak and prime rib. Everything I have eaten at Images has tasted wonderful. They have a very delicious clam chowder on Friday nights that I would definitely recommend.

If you go to the Rainbow on the weekend, you will need to plan ahead for your meal. There is usually a wait for up to an hour prior to being seated. Even with the wait, the dining experience is well worth it. My family usually plans to go play for a while as we wait for our table and things work out just fine.

If you are playing a slot machine, you are eligible for free drinks. The atmosphere is a little smoky, but it is smaller and more intimate than the big Strip casinos. I am very fond of several of the games this casino offers; it has a nice mix of old and new games.

The Eldorado In Henderson, Nevada

Leave a comment

Often while visiting Las Vegas, my husband and I, will leave the Strip and venture to some of the smaller casinos. The most common spot we go to is Henderson, Nevada. While these casinos in Henderson do not have table games, they do have many other great offerings.

The first place I would like to mention is the Eldorado. Eldorado has three things that make me come back. Bingo, Mary’s Diner, and looser slot machines. Really I think almost any slot machine located at a smaller off Strip casino, will be looser. This does not guarantee a win every time though; you should still play responsibly.

I love eating at Mary’s Diner. The food there has always been excellent; I have no complaints. If you have a player’s card you can quickly rack up points which are best used on food because they go the furthest. Their breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, and shakes are all great.

This is the place in Henderson to go to if you want to play bingo. Depending on the time of day they run different specials. If you are willing to go to the 9pm session you can play “Balls on the Wall,” which means that if you bingo on one of the numbers on the wall chart, you get extra money. If you are in town on your birthday, they currently give you a free blue pack for every session. This is my favorite place to play in all of Nevada, at this time.

Aside from gaming, this casino is clean and they offer free drinks for those who are playing at a machine or in bingo. They have wonderful employees with great personality. They treat everyone like they are a friend. Who could ask for more?

Updates To The Wyndham Grand Desert

Leave a comment

I am back from vacation and I have lots of things to write about. The first thing I would like to talk about is the Wyndham Grand Desert. You may recall that I have spoken of this Wyndham location previously; I mention it again because, Neal and I, stayed at the Grand Desert for a couple of days last week.

Upon check-in we found out that tower 3 had been completely remodeled. We requested this tower so that we could check out the changes. My hope was that the renovation included the addition of some color to the rooms; boy was I pleased with what I found. To me the tower looked much more sophisticated and inviting.

The new remodel included improvements to the furnishings as well as the addition of lots of color. The room we stayed in had beautiful purple flowers on the walls and the artwork was much improved. There was still a whirlpool fit for two and I was very happy to see that.

The exterior of tower 3 included a new pool area, which seemed small, but clean and attractive for relaxation. I did not get a chance to check out the other towers to make sure the large pool area was still present. I know that there were a few other updates made as well to the grounds, but I did not get a chance to check those out either. I will have to do more investigating on our next stay; I am sure we will be back again. I look forward to seeing what else their remodel includes.

Blog Posting Frequency

Leave a comment

Dear Readers:

I have decided to change my blog posting frequency now that I have a little content on my site. I will be posting regularly during the week, at least four posts, and leave the weekends for exploring new places. The frequency could change with time, but I am hoping that I can maintain this pattern.

Fun and adventure to you all!

After a brief bit of recovery, I am finally back and ready to begin writing again. This last trip to Las Vegas was a lot of fun but definitely drained me. Unfortunately I was one of the people caught up in Spirit’s labor disputes. Several flights had been cancelled; once it was finally confirmed that the next flight was going out, we nearly missed it due to a crash blocking the way to the airport. In the end I am happy to be home and almost feel as if I need a vacation from my vacation, which is a rare feeling for me.
