I am currently staying at Arizona Charlies in Boulder, not seen many recent reviews for this place on here, so thought I would give you my feedback on the property.
I’m a regular at its sister casino the Stratosphere and having stayed there for the last few days and fancying a change I decided to book five days at Charlies.
I have to say it is the staff that makes this place what it is, the casino host I have acquired is fabulous and is a credit to the company, the cocktail waitresses do their thing efficiently and even the gift shop staff, security team and slot techs have time for a chat.
Checking in was rapid, no long lines or queues here, I am staying in a suite so didn’t know what to expect, however it was spotlessly clean, the grounds around the rooms and suites are immaculately kept and I did see a gardener doing his thing regularly, so they do take great pride on the appearance of the place and it shows, and there is a good security on hand who are patrolling the grounds regularly too.
No complaints what so ever with the buffet or cafes, good choice of food and a bargain at the price too. The bar prices are a fraction of what you would pay in or around the Strip.
Huge gaming floor mainly slots and video poker, keno etc, one on the ground floor and a smaller one upstairs, not a massive range of table games though. I popped my head around the door of the 24-hour bingo hall, it was busy and looked clean and presentable too.
I usually like to moan about something and have yet to find anything to moan about. If you want somewhere cost-effective to use as a base for Vegas this maybe the place, it’s on a bus route to Downtown but you may need a car to get about much easier.
Nice and pleasant place, no lunatics you often will find wandering around on the Strip, I am getting to like the place a lot, and being mainly a local’s venue, the clientele are “real” people who are always happy to chat or advise you on other places to visit and how to get there and what’s nearby etc.
Having read a couple of the reviews I was expecting huge big monster like creatures crawling around the room with fangs, there was none of that, and was expecting the buffet to be poor, which it wasn’t. This place is perfect as far as I'm concerned, much more so if you do enjoy gambling and getting rewarded for doing so by way of comps etc.
The Golden Entertainment team should be proud of this place.
