Water Street in Henderson, NV is considered its main street. This is located on the eastern side of Henderson. It is where the government offices are, where they hold community events, such as parades, and where you can get some really good food at the restaurants located here. There are also 3 casinos on Water Street: Emerald Island Casino, The Rainbow Club and The Pass Casino. I did another article on these if you are interested. But in this article, I’m going to talk about some of the other casinos that are local favorites that are small but popular with locals who just want to gamble and possibly get a bite to eat.
Club Fortune Casino
This is one of my favorite casinos even though it took us awhile to stumble on it. It has over 420 slot machines that are old and new favorites. With the player’s club card you can get free slot play, discounts on food and enter contests to win money or free slot play. They do have race and sportsbook through William Hill sportsbook. There are two places to grab something to eat, Cafe 725 and Baskets Snack Bar. This is the place to go if you want to play slots without all of the Las Vegas glitz. Video. This is a great local casino and usually not too crowded.
Joker’s Wild Casino
This casino has been undergoing renovations for a little while now and keeps getting better. This is Boyd’s casino, so your Boyd’s card will help you earn rewards. There are over 400 slots machines and 7 table games here. If you get hungry while you’re gambling, you can check out the Court Cafe or The Deli. Like the other Boyd’s casinos, they have FanDuel Sportsbook. This too is a local favorite because not only is not over-crowded, but the payouts aren’t bad. I’ve walked out with a little more than I started with the few times we’ve been here. Slot Video * Joker’s Wild is going through even more renovations as in it is going to become a whole new casino. As of this writing, Joker’s Wild is still open.
Wildfire Casinos
There are six Wildfire casinos in Henderson and Las Vegas, but I’m going to just mention the two closest to Water Street. These are Wildfire Boulder and Wildfire Lake Mead. If you’re looking for a small local place where you can relax, meet up with friends and just play some slots then these are good choices. Have a drink at the bar or grab something to eat and then play some slots. Both of these have a restaurant, named Wild Grill where there is a variety of options. There are 150+ slot machines at both locations. They also have the Stations Sportsbook here. These are just nice local casinos to spend some time in. These are Stations casino so your Stations players card will work here to earn benefits. It’s nice to come here for us, so we can earn more points at Stations since they are close to home, but with the limited slots we don’t spend much time here when we do come.
Klondike Casino
This is very small local casino, but it has been fully renovated and I’ve heard the food is really good at the Klondike Grill although I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. They only have about 200 slot machines here, but they do have some new favorites like Dragon Link and some of the Buffalo games. They also have William Hill Sportsbook here. They do have a players club card, so make sure you get one to get the extras that come with it. This is a great small casino for when you just want to play some slots. The slot selection is small, so we don’t come very often, but it may be perfect for you.
Skyline Hotel and Casino
The last casino I’m going to mention is the Skyline Casino. This casino is jnot only the one that locals like to go to but also has a hotel for visitors to enjoy. The hotel has the normal amenities in the room. There is a pool, fitness center, business center and barbershop. There is one restaurant, one bar and a live entertainment area. They have blackjack, a poker room and over 300 slot machines, some of which are still coin operated machines where you get real quarters back!! There is also William Hill Sportsbook here. They have some great decor reminiscent of times past. This a fun little casino to spend time. Although the choice of slot machines is limited, we still like coming here once in awhile. It’s a combination of old and new that has been around about 60 years. Slot video
