Finally some new Casinos

Hello everyone,

We are back on the road and I finally have some new and not so new casinos to report.  When we are in Texas for the winter there are no casinos to speak of.  One small one, Eagle Pass,  but we do not like it so we do not go.  Here is a review of the ones we have visited this trip.

Cliff Castle Casino, Camp Verde AZ - Neat little casino with a good and not so good restaurant.  This casino was neat because you actually saw people winning.  I did well on the QuickPik machines but not so well on my favorite machine, Vibrant Seven. There is a large variety of machines, all the new ones, so you always can find one to play.  Was crowded but not overly.  People had good comments on this casino and we liked it also.  The seafood buffet is something to miss especially for the price but the Storytellers restaurant was wonderful.  Keith had Lamb and I had a steak and both were beyond delicious.  They also have a Johnny Rocket restaurant which is always good for fast food.  Definitely will go back here.

Western Inn in Reno - Been here before and remains a favorite of mine.  Did OK on the slots, went home with a few bucks.  Have a very large variety of machines so easy to find your favorite.  They have dinner deals that are really good, especially their Mexican restaurant.  For 5.95  you get a full course Mexican meal and it is delicious.  With a coupon from our campground, I only paid 3.95 for my food plus drink of course.  They have 2 other restaurants for a variety of food.  Will definitely go back if in Reno.

Cannery in Las Vegas NV - Been here before, really enjoyed it but was disappointed this time.  The slots were so tight they sneaked.  I came away even but did not enjoy at all.  Did not see people winning and certainly did not hear the bells and whistle associated with winning slots.  Food in the buffet was delicious though.  Loved the dessert bar.  Would definitely recommend going just for the buffet.  Will go back but not make a special trip there. 

Rolling Hill in Corning CA - Well buffet was good, especially the prime rib but.......the slots were another story.  I cannot honestly say I saw one winner while there.  I played my Vibrant Seven and never got a bonus or even a win over 3.40 on it.  Needless to say I came home my 40.00 down.  That is very unusual on this machine.  We have gone here before and were not impressed and that judgement has not improved.  One compliment, they have cleaned it up really well and it is now a very pretty casino.   Have a great campground though and that is why we always stop.  Will go back only if in the area for the campground or buffet.

Well, hit some good ones and bad ones.  See you next time for further reviews.  

Take care,

Brenda
