Silver Nugget Casino

I went to Silver Nugget Casino and had a good time. It's not too big, so it's chill and not super crowded. The staff was nice, and the slots were fun. The food was okay too. If you want a relaxed place to gamble, this is a good spot.

Another local casino. It isn't the glamorous kind. Silver Nugget is a popular place for people living in North Las Vegas. Much different than other places to gamble. This actually closes at night and isn't always open. It isn't a very classy looking casino. It's at the end of a strip mall. There's no hotel attached to it so it's just a place to hang out. A major difference is their operating hours. This casino is actually closed sometimes. It closes at about 11 at night. This is about the only casino in the Valley that isn't always open. It kind of has a bad smell inside. Typical chain smoking. Besides that it's not that bad. They have cheap food if you're hungry enough to get it. Fun times in the bowling alley. It's family fun. The casino has cheap greasy food too.

Back in the early 90s I was a regular at this place and its sister property, the Opera House Casino just a little further up the strip.The Opera House was my favorite of the two properties. It was super small. But what it lacked in size, it made up for in filth, grime and smoke. It was the casino from hell: the dirtiest, most disgusting low-life casino in Las Vegas and, God help me, I loved it.There were maybe 100 slot machines, tops, and only 2 or 3 blackjack tables. I never saw more than one blackjack table operating at a time. The felt on the tables was so stained you could just barely discern it had once been green. For years the websites of both casinos had a button you could click to become an "email friend." If you signed up they gave you $20 worth of promo chips when you visited the casino. It probably was intended to be one-time offer, but the website designer messed up. You could sign up as often as you wanted. I signed up before every visit, and got $20 worth of free gambling action from both casinos each time. At the Opera House they made you gamble the chips. At the Silver Nugget they let me take them to the cage and collect a $20 bill. One afternoon at the Opera House I ran into a blatantly corrupt blackjack dealer. He must have been pissed off at the house because he was paying off losing hands. I hit on a 16 and drew a ten. He paid me. I was like, uh, what just happened? Then a few hands later, he did it again. I was betting the minimum, $2 a hand. I busted, he paid me $2. So, I think, hmmm, maybe I should tip this guy. He didn't pay all my losing hands, but often enough to keep me going and keep his tips coming in. By the time I finished playing out my $20 worth of promo chips I was up $30, even after toking the crooked dealer.This visit, I was already staying in North Las Vegas, so I decided to visit my old haunts. I drove up the Strip, past Jerry's Nugget. Past this place, the Silver Nugget. Just a little further to the Opera House.But it ain't there. They tore the son of a bitch down! There is no more Opera House. Nooooooo! Not the Opera House!So, I backtrack to the Silver Nugget. I pull in to the parking lot and do a search to find out what the hell happened. I find nothing. So, I search the Silver Nugget site to see if it has any information. Immediately its obvious the casino is under different management. This isn't Mahoney's anymore.I check the Yelp reviews for the place and I read the stories about the rampant bed bugs and other problems plaguing the place. Well, whatever, I'll pop in and size the place up myself.As I climb out of the car I'm aware of a loud and intense argument going on about fifty yards away. F-bombs are raining down and the storm is moving to my left. I bear right and skirt the edge of the system and make my way into the casino. Inside is almost as crazy as outside. There are nearly as many security people as patrons. Good thing, too, because they had their hands full. I saw three separate heated arguments inside. I spotted a machine I like to play. It's called Hexbreaker. It has a Black Cat theme. Minimum bet is 13 cents. It's tag line is "Change Your Luck." I put in $7.A couple spins later I'm up a couple bucks. Right as I was pressing the button to cash out, a hooker comes and sits next to me. For some reason, I am like candy to them. She wasn't the least bit subtle. In one quick motion I stood up, pulled the ticket for a cool $9.32 out of the machine and turned to walk away. As I stood up I noticed her pimp a few yards away sizing me up.OK, Silver Nugget, that's it for me. I spot a ticket changer and cash in. For me, the Silver Nugget is beyond the Pale. Why bother with this noise when Jerry's Nugget is so close by? Mikey C says: come for the drama, stay for the bed bugs.

Recently came to the silver nugget event center for a concert and fair event with Banda Los RecoditioTo start the parking lot is tiny so as soon as I arrived I noticed a lot of people dress up ( like they were going to the event ) crossing the street from the other side where the theater is. Well I ended up having to park at the theater and cross the street also this casino and event center do not have enough space to accommodate events like this. Once finally getting over there was two lines to be able to "show" your tickets get id'd and head into the event. Well both were pretty long but the one that was going thru the event center did seem a bit short so my friends and I went to that one. Well security is so short staff and unorganized people were cutting the line and this wasn't just one person cutting it was groups of 4-6 so seemed like our line wasn't moving. They people started tipping to be let in first so even slower checking those people while were waiting. Under staffed to the point people started sneaking in and security didn't notice and even if they did it was to late people got in. Well maybe 3 hours later finally got into the event and it was okay .Events like this definitely need to be more staffed or just don't open this event for so many people ,to many fights and it was supposed to be a family friendly event. Well I'll definitely keep away from another event at this place .

Located a few steps away from fun (wink wink), this place is worth a visit. This place is old and serves up cheap food. Most people that come here appear to be locals. It's easy to get in and out of and their associates seem to know patrons by their names.I've been here a few times and enjoyed my visits. The bowling alley always seems busy. If you don't need and aren't searching for the glitz and glamour of the strip or Downtown, this is the place to visit. Steak specials for $5.99!? You can't go wrong.

You will be disappointed the help is lazy in the restaurant walk in the hostess seats us fast we asked for a high chair she said it's broken the drinks server comes and asked us if we wanted a high chair we said sure 3 minutes later here it comes they ignore customers while you can hear them talking about there social life this place went to the dumps need to fix management and forget it you want refills on the drinks it barely happens soon.maybe color has something to do with it just saying

OMG!!! WHERE DO I BEGIN??!!!This place stunk, stank, stinks!!! The minute we walked in the door the funk hit us!!! The smell was beyond atrocious!!! It smelled like someone cleaned the carpets with old, dirty toilet water, cheap cologne, old stale funky feet! The staff were just standing around. The security guards were standing around. It was awful!!! NEVER...I MEAN...NEVER WILL I EVER GO IN THERE! We used to eat there until the bed bug scare in the restaurant...YES, the restaurant! How anyone could even eat in this funk today...MAN, OH MAN... They need to be kicked in the pants!

I went to the silver nugget casino for the first time today. I visited the Wrangler Grill and it was HORRIBLE!!!! If I could give it a -5(negative 5 stars if I could) stars I would. There were tables that were not cleared for over 45 minutes, my waitress was friendly but it took 25 minutes to get my beverages. They had 1 hostess, 2 waitresses and no bus person. I would never ever visit this place anymore. It's like a low class casino. No up to date games just old ones. I wouldn't even call it a locals casino. The lady Joyce at the cashiers window is rude. Just an overall bad experience

First of all, The "concert" hall is so small... I bought the tickets to the event for ALEGRES DEL BARRANCO, MAXIMO GRADO Y MAS! It said on the ticket that they would open at 7pm..I got there at 7:30ish and kid you not, they didn't let us in into like 9pm!!! I found out the NEXT DAY from another source online that apparently the concert was going to start at 9pm. When I bought the ticket it said at 7PM!!!! if I would OF had the CORRECT info when I bought the ticket, it wouldn't have been an issue. I show the ticket staff my ticket through my phone and they couldn't scan it!! Here they were making me wait longer till they can scan my ticket barcode online. After 10min with NO LUCK, the staff just said to go head bcz people were passing me while Here I was waiting for the staff to scan my code! I was so mad bcz I waited so much in line for others behind me to just pass me like nothing just because the staff couldn't do their job(i dont blame the security staff tho, they did what they could. And i appreciate they kept everyth under control). Anways while inside, we thought the show was gonna start, NOPE. THEY PLAYED DJ MUSIC FOR ANOTHER 2 HRS. Then some group played but after that group played they put the DJ back on. It was a MESS. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS A MESS. NEVER WILL I EVER GO TO THIS LOCATION FOR A CONCERT. NEVER. EVER. THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDED IF THIS PLACE WAS MORE ORGANIZE AND HAD THE CORRECT INFORMATION.

It is a very comfortable casino, where Latinos can have an entertaining moment, good service with the cocktail shakers, they bring you a drink quickly, they do not make you wait too long.
