Carson City Nugget

Do not game here, do not eat here, do not enter this place at all unless you have a body guard. My daughter was robbed here and they did nothing about it, even though they had robbery and the persons who did it on their surveillance video.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR ANGELINA’S INSIDE THE NUGGET!!! My family and I just ate at the newly renovated Italian restaurant called Angelina’s, and it was AMAZING! Everything from our very first interaction with Kimberly the hostess, to Vic our server, and David the executive chef was phenomenal. EVERYONE on shift tonight was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. There was many «check-​ups» on us by other staff (whose names I didn’t get) as well. David the chef came out numerous times to make sure everything was to our liking (AND IT WAS!) I had the New York medium rare and it was perfect. We also had appetizers, wine, and even dessert. Their tiramisu rocks my world! Being in a building that is clearly VERY old, just goes to show you to NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER… We’ll be back to see Vic and the other staff really soon! Great Job, you guys :)

Just checked out their new 2 Sips room and the private dining space attached to Alatte… WOW! So beautiful. You feel as if you are «under the Tuscan Sun»!

Carson City is lacking in spaces large enough to host over 150 people. The Carson Nugget is the only place that can do it.
I attended a NNDA breakfast and meeting at the Nugget. The ballroom area has been renovated and the décor is modernized. A very well set out stage and projection screen and sound system.
Plenty of space between tables and a cold beverage area set up so you could serve yourself beverages. Coffee was on the tables. Only 2 servers were there to clear all the plates.
Breakfast buffet was disappointing at the least. Burned sausage, runny powdered eggs, hash browns that were rehydrated and not cooked the whole way through. Danishes? No just cold bagels.
With being the only place In Carson to host events that large, it appears that they take advantage of the fact that sub par quality is ok.

EATERY: This place is hit or miss. You either get good service or you don’t. Sometimes they might give you a salad with your entrée and other times maybe you don’t get one.
CASINO:The casino doesn’t have a lot of games, there’s hardly more than one table going.
COCKTAILS:I’ve found one really nice, attentive cocktail waitress in but the rest of the staff has attitude/​service issues. Walk right past you and not ask you if you would like a drink etc.

Last night I was served the absolute coldest Sam Adams I’ve ever had in a bottle, best ever! Fantastic comedy club and enjoyed playing some video poker afterwards. Thanks for the best $ 35 I’ve spent in the past five years!

The Eatery at the Carson City Nugget doesn’t even deserve one star! We went in after the tree lighting ceremony knowing that it would be busy, but what a joke! It didn’t take long to be seated, but after 15 minutes, I finally got up to get our menus. Then a server came and asked if we were ready to order, um, no, we just got our menus. Ok, I’ll be right back she said… after another 15 minutes, someone finally brought us water. We finally gave up and left. Friday night with an event a block away and you’re not prepared?

This is the first time I’ve been in the «new and improved» Nugget Coffee a shop and for sure I won’t be back. The décor is spartan and reminiscent of a high school cafeteria. The noise level equals a high school cafeteria. My friend and I stopped in for pie and ice cream. After about 30 minutes a waitress appeared. We had been served water and coffee. We ordered pie ala mode but alas the restaurant had no ice cream! We ordered warmed pie and received room temperature pie. When the pie was delivered, we asked asked for the bill as soon as possible. The waitress replied it hadn’t been written yet but she did bring it soon after. Not a great experience. On the way out, I checked out the new coffee/​wine bar which takes up half the space of the old coffee shop. I don’t see the advantage to this narrow dark coffee/​bar which tonight was mostly empty but… Oh and besides the entire casino reeked of smoke. I believe I’ve crossed the Nugget off the places I will visit in the future.

Three others & I ate in the steakhouse. The others had 12-​oz New York Strips, I had an 8-​oz fillet. All of the steaks were very good, and my fillet cut easily like butter. Wait staff was also very good. We will be going back the next time we’re in town.

The Eatery in this casino has GREAT food, however, this gentleman serving the food is indeed SLOW… I am warning you, if he serves you, be prepared to get on your hands and knees BEGGING for refills, food requests, and your own check! This waiter is not fast at all… Try coming when there are different waiters… And again, on the plus side the food is awesome!

We ate at the Eatery inside the Nugget to get the Awful Awful. It is NOT the same «Awful Awful» from the Little Nugget in Reno. $ 8.99 and it was completely different.
The review is for the service. Otherwise I would have given this place 0 stars for poaching on us unknowing customers.

Was in today and had Teri help us today she is great will be back thank you so much for making our experience so great

Stopped by on the way back from Virginia City. It was just okay. The casino reeked of cigarette smoke. The place wasn’t too busy but I could see why. No real updates of décor probably for many years. I’ll probably just skip it next time.

Have not been here in quite a while, came with some friends. Nice décor changes but same terrible service.
Not especially busy but staff seemed overwhelmed.
My last trip here.

New owner that gets it, New chef, don’t listen to anything negative about the steakhouse its all old news. we loved it and have been there no less than 4 times in two months, the chef did a special salad a Bunny. I think prices are low and the food is good.

New changes have made this Nugget more like fools gold. Change the Garden Café to the eatery the worst design for an eating establishment ever. From fresh vegetables to canned or frozen, the same with the fish and chicken. Also the price hike is not worth it, maybe they are charging more to sit in the ugliest café in the world.
The new look is like they decided to see how they can turn away guests by making it look hideous and smaller and charge more for food from cans and frozen.
The only draw to this nugget is to see how not to run a casino and dining area.
Even «Restaurant: Impossible» and «Bar Rescue» could not save this titanic from sinking.
The slot machines are shrinking, there is more room to walk and less machines to play. A marching band could go through the casino with ease with the amount of room they now have.

To the owner,
You need to seriously take a hard look at your establishment. Your new remodeled dining horror experience is an awesome attraction, if that is not what you are going for then they have failed miserably like the food and service. You customer desk is just as big of a failure. Stand in front of the desk and no one comes out for customer service. I tried to complain but they said the only thing that gets listened to is comment cards, first off you have to dig and search to find comment cards and when you do find the TWO kiosks they have NO/​zilch/​nada/​negative and ZERO comment cards to complain with. I nor my family will ever spend a damn dime in any Nugget facility.

went here to have breakfast at their resturant with my in laws… not impressed. our waitress was very nice and attentive but aside from that.
wont be going back

The Carson Nugget Casino does not royally suck, I just found it somewhat … disquieting. I was a bit taken aback at how «vacant» the casino was … on Friday and Saturday nights (when I visited last month).
I first walked in after 9:30 at night on Friday evening. There were 5 tables, 2 of which were being used. I played blackjack for over an hour and there were empty seats at the table I patronized during the entire time. I came back the next evening, in part to check out if what I had seen had been some sort of aberration. It wasn’t. The place wasn’t entirely seniors (like you might get in Laughlin or Mesquite), and it wasn’t scummy/​a dive (like you might get in some of the smaller places in Vegas well away from The Strip). It was just dead.
I haven’t been to this part of Nevada before and can only guess that locals/​visitors head out to nearby Reno or Lake Tahoe to do cool things w/​exciting, beautiful people, unlike the schlubs who stay in Carson City on weekends.
I would be remiss, however, to not point out that the Carson Nugget did have a copy/​duplicate of The Batmobile (1960’s TV show version) sitting (behind velvet ropes) next to a row of slot machines. A very cool attraction for someone who can remember running around as a kid dressed up as Gotham City’s most noteworthy crime fighter.

Great restaurant; Maria our waitress, was fast, efficient & took care of us without a hitch! The hostess was friendly & courteous! Reasonable prices and it reeks of probable wisdom from the older demographics! Enjoy :)
