Emerald Island Casino

Super charming. Old school, which is what we were drawn to. Staff is awesome.2 stars because you need to take a shower when you get home given you will reek of cigarette smoke.THEN THERE IS THE PA SYSTEM FOR CAFE ANNOUNCEMENTS for open tables in the Cafe. REALLY! do they need to announce over the casino speaker system which is SUPER LOUD, "Bill your table is ready in the Emerald Grill. Bill your table is ready in the Emerald Grill. Thank you". Too many words people! There is only one place to eat. I don't think anyone would be confused as to where to go to get their ready table. Do they need to say it twice? The, Thank you and the end is also unnecessary. It was SO LOUD annoying that we left.

Classic diner type food here for breakfast and lunch. I have been here a few times for both but not dinner. Service was quick and friendly. Food deliver was fast. I decided to try a Cobb salad for first time. It was delicious and exactly as described on the menu. Delicious field greens, chunky blue cheese, grilled cubed chicken, fresh tomatoes and nice hard boiled eggs. Plus the chopped bacon which quality is lacking slightly. I had blue cheese dressing on the side which was delicious. Coffee is just okay and breakfast before with eggs can be hit or miss. I was surprised by quality of my salad and it was extra large. My boyfriend enjoyed his cheeseburger. The coleslaw nothing exciting. 3.5 stars overall for this type of venue.

Emerald Island is a great little casino to unwind. I love that there is a selection of fruit flavored Bacardi. Not many places offer that, and I am a huge fan of flavored bacardi. The staff is friendly, and I love the little bar by the entrance/ exit. I've never tried the food, but it looks good. I enjoyed the 70s music playing throughout the casino. This is located in downtown henderson/ water district, which I think is such a hidden gem.

My husband and I love going to Emerald, playing Keno, and sitting at the bar when Donna & June are the bartenders! They are friendly, always working a million miles an hour, but immediately stop what they are doing to ask us if we need anything, and they always remember our drink orders. Bottom line June and Donna are just all-around cool people and are definitely one of the reasons we like to come to Emerald Island several times a week!!!I am also pretty lucky there which makes playing at Emerald lots of Fun!! Their floor staff is very nice and always around to help with all the crazy promotions they have everyday which is another reason we love to go to Emerald Island! Anastasia, Gabe, Katie, Gina, Jesus, Justin, Zak, and Laurie are Awesome!!! And I know I'm forgetting a few because I can picture their faces but not their names, at the end of the day, the staff is just fantastic!!! Lastly, the cocktail waitresses are wonderful too! Heather, Cheri, June (again), and several others work so super hard and always make sure you have a drink while you're playing!Emerald Island is an all around Awesome local casino to hang out, play keno and slots, and feel like part of the family!

This is another of our favorites in Henderson! We come here every chance we get or across the street (which they now own). Even though we are from out of town we like the vibe of this local casino. I always seem to meet really great people, which is what I love to do while my wife gambles. The food here is great but they have a lot of free perks like free ice cream, tacos & pizza. Yes all just for coming here and playing. The stakes are low (they have $.01 penny machines) but you can still win big (or at least my wife can, to the tune of $2k).The bartenders are great, which is the reason I love coming here.

The restaurant is trash. As I put my name in for a table two women walked up to knew the fancy boy maitre d with the curly mustache and decided to seep them before me even though three other couples were waiting. The food is horrible I totally recommend the bar but I cannot recommend the restaurant. Total trash

I am afraid to share this because it's already busy and hard to get a seat at the bar but..... hands down the best casino I have been to in years. The minute you walk in you are treated as if you were a regular. Security actually holds the door open for you when you enter and they smile. They have the very best bartenders in the entire vegas area. Friendly funny warm informative etc....Frank is outstanding. He sings he jokes he laughs and all around makes you feel welcome. Savanah Donna and Rose are very nice as well. The perks are amazing. When we signed up for the reward/loyalty program the young lady MORGAN was incredible. She was patient she answered all our questions she never made us feel like we needed to move on. I am not exaggerating at all. I am a top tier vip at 2 other well known large casinos and yes they give me a lot of expensive perks but I will gladly forgo all that to be treated the way they welcome you at Emerald casino. Thank you to all of you for making this the best vegas trip I have ever had.

So, so....winning, mostly nah and if and when you do the cashiers, for some reason feel entitled to a cut of your winnings. You may cash out $100, but lost $400.

Food is absolutely wonderful inexpensive like Vegas used to be. They have a big selection.

This review is primarily for the restaurant, but we found the entire staff in both the casino and the restaurant extremely friendly, and the place has a fun, intimate vibe to it. Definitely a nice change from the strip casinos. We both had the Friday night steak & lobster special, and it was excellent! Large servings, well-prepared and a very fair price. We'll be back for sure. Special mention to our server Stephanie, who was very pleasant.
