Hacienda Hotel & Casino

Beautiful Dam Hotel & Casino

Hotel: Important Note! If you want a tub/shower combo, you MUST request a handicapped room. The regular rooms and even the regular suites only have showers. The only other option is to request a "special suite" with a single person jacuzzi tub, which is kinda high at $129/night. I reserved my room by phone and they quoted the same rates as their website, $79.95 for a scenic view handicapped smoking room. When I checked in, the nice young lady told me they had a special going and gave me a $10 discount. My room ended up being on the top floor overlooking Lake Mead and the surrounding hills...Beautiful!! I was happy with the room, even though it is an older design without central air and heat. There is a large wall unit climate control under the window. Elevator service was always fast and never crowded, like everything else in the place.

Casino: The slot club is located in the gift shop at the west end of the casino. I joined and earned enough comps in 4 hours for a free buffet plus $11 in cash comps, which I used in the gift shop. The casino offer table games(blackjack, craps, roulette with low mins) and plenty of slots, video poker and Keno at all denoms from penny to dollar. The casino also hosts a free video poker tournament everyday, hosted by the resident Elvis impersonator. Prizes range from $100 to $1000 and drawing are held often to win 4000 points.

Food: There is a snack bar on the casino floor offering all types and varieties of sandwiches, burgers and Mexican food but at around $5 per item, I thought the prices were kinda high. I tried the lunch buffet instead. It was Very good for $7.95 and offered many choices; spagetti, tortiini, sausage and peppers, baked fish, turkey ala king, fried chicken, etc, and a salad bar. The breakfast buffet was good but much more spartan in variety, $5.50. There is also a steakhouse onsite and the prices looked very reasonable, lots of entrees for under $20.

Unique Quality: Close to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. Comfortable, uncrowded and peaceful location. Very beautiful surroundings.

Just 2 miles above Hoover Dam, this traveler friendly hotel offers unexpensive rooms, quality food and entertainment and clean facilities. It is now owned by the National Parks Service and is just 1-2 miles from Hoover Dam on Highway 93. The hotel overlooks Lake Mead(see pic from my room window, room#1763 on the top floor, 17th floor).

Here are the prices from their website...

Theater: There are 2 theaters showing first run movies. Prices are $8, $5 for seniors and kids. Sweeney Todd was playing and another top movie. There is a snack bar with hotdogs, pizza, popcorn, etc next to the theaters.

Arcade: Yes, there is one. I didn't look inside.
