I visited Crystal Bay Club during Memorial Day Weekend 2026 and left disappointed with the overall…read moreexperience. The casino itself is relatively small and felt quiet during my visit. On the positive side, there was a wide variety of slot machines and gaming options available, and I never had to wait for a machine. However, I found the gaming experience to be frustrating. I spent quite a bit of time and money playing without seeing much in the way of bonuses, entertainment, or meaningful wins, which made the experience feel more like feeding machines than having fun. The biggest issue, however, was my interaction at the cashier cage. When I went to withdraw additional funds, the employee processing the transaction began offering unsolicited commentary about how I was choosing to access money from my debit and credit cards. As an adult who is fully capable of managing my own finances, I found the interaction unprofessional and inappropriate. Eventually, I had to politely ask that he simply process the transaction and leave my financial decisions to me. Customer service can make or break an experience, and unfortunately this interaction left a lasting negative impression. Between the lackluster gaming experience and the uncomfortable encounter at the cashier cage, I don't see myself returning and would have a difficult time recommending this casino to others.

He went above and beyond and helped us put on the headset and helped us to understand how the controllers worked. He talked us through our games as well.

I didn't see it but was told there was a lounge up there. As beginners, we opted for only 30 minutes but next time we go, I KNOW we will be there for longer. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Jake!! We're telling all our friends! Can't wait to see you next time!!

As someone who genuinely enjoys gambling and visiting casinos, Jim Kelley's Tahoe Nugget was…read moreunfortunately a disappointing experience. The casino is very small and feels quite dated compared to many other gaming properties in the area. During my visit, I spent a considerable amount of time and money playing, but never really found the experience entertaining or enjoyable. While I understand that gambling outcomes are never guaranteed, the overall experience lacked the excitement and fun that typically keeps me engaged. The property itself also felt dirty and dingy in several areas, which took away from the atmosphere. In addition, I never encountered any hosts or beverage service during my visit, making the casino feel understaffed and lacking in customer service. Overall, this wasn't a casino I enjoyed spending time in, and it's not one I would recommend to friends or fellow gamblers. There are simply better gaming options in the Tahoe area. Unfortunately, I don't plan on returning.

Things escalated quickly for no reason--she took our beer, accused us of "refusing to leave" without ever asking us to leave, and threatened to get me arrested! This behavior felt discriminatory and completely unprofessional. No one should be treated this way. I would not recommend this place!! Especially for people of color!

Then again, its NV, and just a short mule trip over to LV -- right? For a general overview, this museum will definitely entertain you - and it's NOT guna cost you more than a shot of top-shelf whiskey or moonshine. I recommend you check this lil gem of history out for yourself. A small admission fee from your coin purse will entitle you to see... the "Arctic Vibrator". LOL. If you have ever seen the movie "shivers", you'll get a better and more profound understanding of this fine gem of a wonder toy. (?). Considering we're actually talking about the 1860's and a brothel or two - no less (maybe more), that's rather hilarious. OK.. check your history on this one -- was there electricity during the 1860's? Add to that idea the concept of an electric female stimulator. *cough*. What would the thought of an "arctic vibrator" do for you? it gives me the "shivers" to say the least. and it made my GF laugh. brrrr. the thought of the arctic gives me the chills. BTW, there's a heated mall near Carson City (in NV) just under 60 mins away.

The rest of the town didn't seem family friendly (we even got shooed away by one owner for reading the sign "don't touch") The owner of this place took genuine interest in educating the children about the various types of stones. He made the experience fun and interesting... without being crazy or dressing up as a cowboy ! No gimmicks. I was so surprised by the value fo the experience and the organization of the store! Our 6 and 7 year old screamed with delight at every item that $6 bucket of sand revealed. I was amazed with the beauty of the rocks (who cares what it's worth, they were colorful and display-worthy!). After the kids finished their treasure finding bit, I had to my own, the Mother Lode bucket for $20! HUGE amythyst and pyrite and fossils abound! Up the road, at the outdoor "gem" mining, we got taken by the $8 deal and got "gems" that my son said, "Mama, I can hardly see them!" The rocks were the size of half a pea! Dan Cin was the best value and the highlight of our family outing to Virginia City. Thank you sir!

I went to this fair on Friday, August 1, 2015 at Fuji Park (it is also known as the Carson City…read moreFairgrounds, but it really isn't much of a fairgrounds, other than their one building, called the Exhibit Hall). The fair was then known as the Nevada Fair. The state fair had occurred for many years, but not happened recently, and this organization was trying to revive the tradition. They recruited a veteran fair organizer from California and planned to grow each year. For some reason, they stopped this in the next year or two and decided to do just this local Carson City fair. It is held during the last weekend in July. Now, this fair is not be confused with the Nevada State Fair which is held each June at Mills Park on E. William Street. I have never been to that one. I guess there was competition at that time for who could hold the state fair. I don't know if either one was the official state fair, or if there is even such a thing. I had come to this fair specifically for their inaugural corn dog eating contest. It left a lot to be desired. It was hard to get information about it. They announced right before the contest the first 10 people who got to the announcer could sign up, which was bad, since people like me had been waiting for hours to sign up and could have potentially been shut out. It was more of a foot race to see who get get to the sign up area the fastest, sort of like for Black Friday loss leaders at retail stores, which are dangerous. For the contest itself, 10 people were lined up on the ground in front of stage, facing the crowd, with no table of their own, and contestants had to hold two corn dogs in their hands. The fastest two won, and the prizes were just ribbons. The judges were not trained on when a contestant was deemed finished, so it was like a crap shoot. Normally, eating contests are 5-12 minutes, with more of the contest food; and a table is put up in front of the contestants, so their food and corn dog sticks can be placed there. Chairs are often provided. Water and cups are provided too. And there usually is an emcee. Apparently, they didn't know what they were doing when they set this up. They said at the end they were going to expand it to make it bigger and better, but that never happened, as this was the first and only time they had the contest. There was also supposed to be a watermelon eating contest, but they canceled that, but didn't change the schedule at all, including online, so people were left confused. There were also mistakes in the literature, like phone numbers. And parking was also messed up. The lot right by the Exhibition Hall was reserved for people with handicapped parking placards or licenses, but the organizers failed to tell the attendants that, and they refused to let me in. There was also limited street parking. They did arrange for people to park at Casino Fandango on S. Carson Street and a free Carson City JAC shuttle bus transported them back and forth. (Casino Fandango also provided them with free swag bags.) But many people just parked across the street at Costco (illegally) since they were lazy and/or stupid and/or entitled. They need to fix that, as people are always going to try doing that. I am not sure how. I am surprised Costco did not complain. Now they provide parking at the nearby Clear Creek Plaza on Topsy Drive where Walmart is. Overall, despite the first-time mistakes, this was a good fair for a small town. Parking and admission were free. They had a small midway, bounce house, food, local vendors, non-profit exhibits, beer garden, main stage with bands, farm animals, and plenty of contests, including for children, like a cookie stacking contest and peanut butter and jelly sandwich making contest. If you needed to cool off, you could sit in the air conditioned Exhibit Hall and use their real rest rooms. I might stop by this year or in the future to see if it has gotten better. It will be held next from Friday, July 26 to Sunday, July 28, 2019.
