I stopped in here with my crew a couple of weeks ago but forgot to write a review. I just…read moreremembered when I came across the food pics! We went to the restaurant inside the Gold Dust Casino in Carson City. There was a little wait to get the host to seat us. They were doing double duty as the cashier as well. The smoke in the restaurant is less than it is in the casino, as far as smaller casinos go, the smoke wasn't super bad. We got seated and drink orders taken. I see they have a prime rib special available 7 days a week for $16.99, not just on Friday's and Sat. like some other casino restaurants, plus, you don't have to wait till 4pm either, available at 11am seven days a week! I went with that, medium rare please. Someone else ordered the breakfast, "Little Star", basically a standard 2 egg with hashbrowns and toast and sausage for $7.99. One of the crew ordered the "Wrangler" burger, a double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings in the burger, served with fries. For appetizers, we got the onion rings and the loaded potato skins. The food all arrives and everything looks scrumptious. My Prime Rib was a decent size cooked as ordered, served with a baked potato. The appetizers were good, I actually like the loaded skins with the melty cheese and bacon. The onion rings were a smallish portion, but I guess it was just $4.99 so there's that. The Wrangler burger was quite a sight! He said the meat was real good and seemed like bigger than the two 1/4 pound patties on the menu. I'd come back here again, this is a new revamped menu from years ago.

Another good visit--both at The Grille and Gold Dust West Casino…read more Customer service truly goes a long way, and visiting here always reminds me of being in Vegas. I frequent many dining establishments across Fernley, Sparks, Reno, and most recently Carson City, and from our experiences, Gold Dust West stands out. The employees we've encountered consistently provide good to great customer service and genuinely understand the value of repeat customers and long-term business. They almost always have a wait during dinner hours; however, tables turn quickly and the kitchen keeps up with demand. We've never waited long for our food, which says a lot during peak times. I honestly wish this level of understanding and execution could be instilled in some other nearby cities here in Northern Nevada. Grateful shout-outs to Rebecca in Guest Services, Jelly our server, and Jason (J) the bartender at GDW Casino. And at The Grille at GDW Casino--thank you to Manager Bryant, whom I truly appreciate for taking the time to have a conversation, Host Ashley, and our great server Aquiles. Also, kudos to the chef and kitchen staff for consistently delivering good-quality food in a timely manner. Great service, great teamwork, and another enjoyable visit.

Lately, though, management has been making choices that don't seem to support the team. No barbacks means the bartenders are stretched thin. And on Sunday, I watched a supervisor give a bartender a write‑up in front of a full bar, joking about "love notes" while doing it. It was unprofessional and uncomfortable to witness. I must add I have been an HR manager over 20 years here in Reno. I hope management takes this seriously, because the employees deserve respect and privacy, and customers notice when leadership falls short.

It's a great setup with a small arcade, a bowling pro shop, a bar with gaming, and a snack bar. We tried a few items from the snack bar: the grilled cheese sandwich, a small personal pepperoni pizza, and cheese sticks. Everything was pretty good and reasonably priced. The bar happened to be closed, but the snack bar also serves alcoholic beverages. I tried a drink I'd never heard of before "Puck" -- it was decent, though a bit on the sweet side for my taste. Service was great all around -- Jenny at the counter and Kyleigh in the kitchen were both friendly and efficient. Even the bowling center clerks, CJ and Mike, were extremely personable as I looked around to see what the alley offered. No picture. Overall, a nice surprise -- clean, friendly, and worth checking out if you're already at the casino and wanna bowl or just hang out ! Be sure to check league times since they get pretty busy !

The food here is mostly burgers and hot dogs and fries and even fried chicken strips. The have soda and beer available. If you like a real drink, go to the bar next door. What got me was the prices! For a single 1/4 lb burger it just $6.99 including a whole mound of fries! Adding cheese is just a buck more and adding another 1/4 lb patty is just another buck ... so like a 1/2 pound Double cheeseburger with fries for just $8.99! Hell, yeah, bring it on! I got 5 orders of double cheese burgers with fries for me and my crew and drinks too. They have Modelo beer for just $3.50 a bottle! The menu is posted online, just scroll past the restaurant menu to the Snack Bar menu. We all enjoyed munching down on the burgers and fries. Those burgers are huge, about the diameter of a BK Whopper, but more filled with real meat! Lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles included. There's a ton of great fries with each order too! Can't beat that price at even fast food places. I wish we had a place like this where I live!

I'm not a bowler myself, I just know you roll the ball and you get two chances to knock all the pins down. Prices seem reasonable (like I might know) and they have shoes to rent as well. There's 32 lanes and it's not crowded. What I do like is the snack bar. They have great burgers and super reasonable prices. There's a full bar available too, so if you want a scotch on the rocks or a Cosmo while you play, there you go. It's good there's no smoking in here too. It's kinda loud in here when there's a lot of people bowling. Lots of good seating with good swivily chairs. I'll review the snack bar separate as it food and not bowling. We all had a good time and my guys and one other girl were happy, so I'm happy.

Killer deal. But I got to thinking, if getting a double patty burger is just $1.00 more than a single, could I add another patty for a TRIPLE for just one more dollar? That would be tottally killer deal. So, I asked the cook and they said, she didn't see why not. I ordered a TRIPLE cheeseburger and fries for just $9.99! That's 3/4 lb of meat and cheese added along with the lettuce, tomato, and onion with secret sauce spread. I got it and opened it up. Just picking up the tray it felt heavy! Holy freakin hamburgers, that's a big ass fat burger! I had to squeeze it a bit and open wide for this thing! Damn, this is a big tasty burger, for a killer price! I almost couldn't finish the fries after eating this burger!

Coffee is $3.99. 1 waitress and one cook tried their best. From open to 10:30a.... When a second waitress was allowed to clock in early so that a few tables could be seated.

I understand 'season closed' & weather permitting, but service was awful!! The room was clean thankfully versus the horror stories we read on the way via reviews. Bathroom door like a prison door from TV! Not once did we eat there due to service. Brian at center bar was zero stars. Rude both days. Said I may burn him w/ cigarette if I ash to the left ash tray...bizarre! Never heard that one in my life.

Super construction going on and the parking lots are a mess, you don't know to go right or left and I got lost finding entrances even after 3 days.really dirty too. 2. The dirt doesn't stop there. Our first room we were given was so smokey I mean burning eyes smokey. There was a box fan sitting outside the room so I think they tried to air it out but it was like someone burned a cigar in there and just closed the door. 3. After going thru a room swap we were given another room. Fine but there was a dirty rag left in the bathroom counter with hairs all over it. Not a huge deal but still, come on right? 4. The late check out. Went to the front desk night before to make sure late check out was ok since we were at an event that morning. No problem they said you got until 4 with an additional fee. Great right? Nope since our room was a room that was attached to a suite they needed us out before that. Just come on again! 5. The service is just rude everywhere. I mean everyone you encounter! The Rim restaurant guy host in a suit..., I'm convinced was high as a kite. Don't believe me, go there and talk to him, holy! The security desk, rude and unhelpful. Anyone you call on the phone from the room, rude. I'm not expecting Disney customer service, but come on man! Someone teach these guys some customer service skills. So the good.... The resort is really cool. Bowling video games, nice casino, everything to spend a fun weekend. We may even come back just to do the pool and stuff to do there. To wrap it up... Lower your expectations. Your not going to get the cleanest room. Most certainly you will be treated rudely. It's a place that could be so epic but falls short due to just taking short cuts in the customer service, organization and just plain care about your whole experience factor. P.S. you will receive at least 5 text messages telling you about how great their spa is.

If you're Diamond status and up, it's free. There are two parking machines to feed your ticket by the stairs. You can also feed it at the gate when you leave. Best to do it beforehand in case your card needs assistance. The location is central and walking distance to everything. CVS is outside on the main street to pick up water or what you left at home. You can get coffee at Starbucks downstairs in the lobby or outside next to CVS called Noel's. Access to Ceasar Republic is connected underground to go across the street.

We could hear people on the hallway and next door. Elevator screens didn't show what floor you were on or going to. So that made things a little confusing. Lots of areas undergoing construction, like the arcade. And pretty expensive too. The resort fees ($30 a day) and the self parking ($20 a day) make this stay something like a 5 star hotel, but it isn't that. Location is great. Quick walk to Heavenly Village. Love that it's connected by an escalator to Caesar Republic (formerly Harvey's). I probably wouldn't stay here again. I would stay across the street at Caesar Republic which seemed to be newer and fresher.
