Not a great Casino, limited table and lots of slots, my biggest issue was the dealers talking about guest when they left the table. The buffet for lunch was very sad, very limited. They ran through a list of discounts at the buffert that was over 10 ways to get a discount left me wondering if I was the only one that paid full price. Never the less it was food. I recommend you keep driving
We LOVE keno, but we wonder why you do not give as many points towards keno as you do the machines.? It seems like our points slowly accumulate although we play almost nothing but keno. We love the tournaments and have not missed one in around 10 years. Boomtown is the ONLY casino we ever go to
Played here for a few weeks, throwing the dice in craps pretty much the same way every session. No problems until I ran into a terrible pit boss. I was maybe up 200 on craps over 2 weeks but down over a 1,000 total in the casino. If you start to win at the tables the pit bosses will come give you heat, especially if you like to set dice in craps (not illegal btw). I am a local and will never return to this casino after the last run in with the pit boss, there are simply better casino's in town that will treat their guests with more care. The food was not bad if you are looking for a place to eat on your way to Reno.
I stayed in this hotel for 1 night with my family. The first room I booked wasa complete failure as the shower drain was a swamp. This was in the old tower so I went to the manager and told him that an unacceptable room for us. He had us upgraded to the new tower and a much nicer room. Thanks to the manager
Boomtown is a smaller casino on the outskirts of Reno. Thus it must compete against the 'big houses' downtown. The attraction of Boomtown is the friendly staff and employees. Everybody seems to go out of their way to assist or make your experience more fun. Their machines seem to be looser than downtown as well. With a choice of so many casino's in town, Boomtown is my choice because I enjoy myself more there.
Our carful of five stopped at the recommendation of our driver. We went to the sit-down restaurant; signed up for a table with a 20-minute waiting list, and then continued to look: the line for the buffet service line was about 20 people long and moving slowly. So we opted to buy sandwiches and beverages at the deli counter, which had no line and immediate service. The food was good and the prices were fare. In order for us to move out of the dark, smoky indoor atmosphere, we ate our meals in the outdoor area with wood benches on a sunny pleasant day. The western culture (bucking horse and coybow) statue were attractive, and the survey monument that related to the CA-NV state border was educational.
We had two nites in a comp room this past weekend. Stayed in the North Wing (remodeled)/ King bed/ smoking. Room was nice, bathroom was big. Housekeeping staff was more than helpful w/ request for extra blanket & pillow. Rm had a coffeepot/coffee/tea as well as fridge. Liked that we can open the window for fresh air, then blast the heater to warm the room. There is a flat screen tv which was great, but they only have their channels in analog and we are used to HD, so... that would be our ONLY complaint. There was a free wireless internet connection for our IPad but you have to find out the code for your room thru the MENU screen on your tv. BTW, we were able to peek into the Jacuzzi Suite (rooms that end in 19), which also has a separate bedroom, separate living rm , lil table/bar area and a door that goes out to a balcony. Will try to book that in the future.As for the casino: again staff was very helpful & nice - when I asked which restaurants were still open at 7pm (limited); when I had issues w/ my Players Club card in the slot machines; why they only showed the FB games in the SportsBar and the "Guitar" Nightclub and not the other tvs in the casino etc. Just those little things...Restaurant employees were very nice and helpful. I rcvd an extra almond croissant because it was my birthday. They were more than helpful when we decided to order our food " to go" instead of eat IN the Bistro, or tables in the eating area outside the deli/Mexican food place. We just walked over w/ our food to the SportsBar and sat at the counter that surrounds the SportsBar so we could watch all the FB games simultaneously. (THOSE tvs were definitely HDTV!!! )The casino was NOT packed w/ patrons like the other casinos downtown so it was very easy to sit down and play any machine you wanted.(was there Sun - Tues.) The machines did seem "looser" since both my husband and I did win back our money. I believe they remodeled the casino since we were there over a year ago because it seems like there were less machines, and more floor space so you aren't just packed into one area.Online checkout via the room tv was a breeze. How very surprised to find out we had a balance of $000000.00; I know the rooms were comp, but other hotels charge a resort fee and city tax etc, and this one did not.We will definitely be back.
My Wife and I had a great time, But there was a couple frustrating things that we noticed. First the roulette table. we like roulette but we had to wait until Friday night to play, the second was the keno, I would like to see the game attendants that run Keno be a bit more knowledgeable about how each game is played. Other than that we had a great time. we will defiantly be back
Very smokey atmosphere, buffet is fair at best. Rooms are cheap and is close to Tahoe. Better food is found in Reno, or in Verdi. Gaming is ok but again very smokey.
What a deal the best play place I have been to in a casino for kids. $10.wrist bracelet gives unlimited mini golf, jumpie & charosol rides.Then there is alot of games to play. Some for points, some not, some I have never seen before. Like a 2 lane bowling alley, a monopoly game.2-3 air holley games. The room was full of things to do.
