Arizona Charlies - Boulder: Arizona Charlie's Re Dux

Ben Jammin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:40:08 +0100

My last review about this Hotel/Casino was good. However, things have gone way down hill now.

It's not the mountain ahead that wears you down, it's the grain of sand in your shoe.

The room had fleas.( figured this out on the final day, after being bitten on the foot) Did you know this place was "Pet Friendly"? This was the second room. The first room was filthy and the AC didn't work, so we had to move.

The jacuzzi water had so much chlorine I thought I was being boiled in Sulfuric Acid. The pool was dirty.

The pit bosses are generally angry over the current state of the economy. They no longer care about customer service.

I Had played Craps for over three hours. I was winning.The craps crew was OK, except for one dealer that came on. He used to work a grind joint in Jersey. I was doing well so he kept trying to break my rhythm. Just before and while I'd shoot he'd speak to me. Try that on the golf course and you would be punched in the mouth.

So, I stopped my roll and hesitated in disgust. While standing there I was contemplating leaving the table, I switched the dice from one hand to the other in plain sight of the craps crew and over the table. The surly a****** (who had now rotated to the stick man position) actually knocked the dice from my hand with the stick. That hurt. I had a bruised middle finger from before and he banged it with the stick.

I have been to Las Vegas over 100 times over the last 35 years or so, and I have never had anything like that happen to me.

I have never been so humiliated in a casino in any state over my entire lifetime.

I walked over to the pit boss and threw my player's card at him and said" If it snows in hell, or I live to be a thousand years old, or you gave me comped RFB for life, I will never set one foot in this dump again as long as I live".

He then said, OK leave right now, or I'll have security escort you out.

I'm considering a formal complaint

I'm a business owner. I'm not some low life, but I was sure treated like one.

Don't stay or play there.

Arizona Charlies - Boulder: I Like This Place

I'm staying there again this weekend. The rooms are what you might expect, plain and clean. Right now you can get a two bedroom suite (sort of) for the price of a regular room. $46 bucks for a two bedroom room/suite on a Saturday night!

The gambling is good with high payback Video Poker.

Table games are $5 and $10 with good rules, sometimes $3. BlackjJack pays 3-to-2, Craps is $5 line 10X odds and there's always a game going. I heard tell of $3 Craps, but I was there on a Saturday night and it was $5.

The bartenders are friendly and will pour you a good drink, free if you're playing of course.

The pool and jacuzzi are rarely crowded and close to the rooms, you can get a standard room right above the pool. Some yahoo put bubble bath in the jacuzzi so they actually drained it and cleaned and refilled it just for us!

You need a car if you stay there, there's no shuttle but the bus stop is right out front.

There's a 7-11 right next door for cheap snacks and beer.

The sourdough cafe restaurant has the well known breakfast and steak and eggs specials -�cheap, but good.

There's entertainment on weekend evenings, usually a cover band playing R&B or Classic Rock.

Nowhere else I know of has nickel 9/6 VP, but the quarters hit well downstairs as well.

Check it out, from the Strip take any main street East to the Boulder Highway. I go over Flamingo Ave or Sahara. You can see it from Flamingo and the Boulder Highway, to your left.

It's close to a lot of other good locals casinos along the Boulder Highway as well.

Slots where pretty loose, they played well and blackjack was very liberal. Well worth playing there.

Arizona Charlies - Boulder: Breakfast deals

We did not stay at AZ Charlies but did go there for breakfast several times. Steak and eggs or large ham steak and eggs are on special every day with your card and are very good. Steak is not large but tasty. Ham is very large and good. And the price is right. Service is excellent.

We always stop at the Arizona Charlies - Boulder to either eat at the buffet or the coffee shop. The slot area has plenty of penny slots.

Arizona Charlies - Boulder: It's OK

Geoffrey Quillen — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 03:26:24 +0100

We are locals and go primarily for the Youkon Grill which we have found to be good food and service for a reasonable price.

The Buffet is average and the service leave a lot to be desired. The Coffee Shop is average. The slots were a bit above average but like most other places they have tightened considerably,

Arizona Charlies - Boulder: Good value for the money

Gerald Orf — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:47:12 +0100

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights last year. We stayed her because of the rates. We didn't expect the Taj Mahal. The room was adequate and clean. The casino is very very small. We did not play here much, but when we did we didn't hit anything. We only ate at the 24 hour cafe. We found the breakfasts to be an exceptional value. I had a steak and eggs for around $5 or less. Our waiter was excellent. We would stay here again.

Arizona Charlies - Boulder: 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 hotel and checked out early because the walls were paper thin and the rugs spotted.

The casino primarily caters to the blue collar types who favor slots, a cheap buffet and bingo. The lounge occasionaly hosts some pretty decent groups though our favorites, The Checkmates, no longer appear.

The Yukon Grill is considered bargain gourmet, but on our last visit in September 2006 we were very disappointed with the quality of our meal and the service.

Overall, there is no longer reason for us to visit this casino.
