Skyline Restaurant & Casino

Hey everybody!
I come to Las Vegas alot and lived here in the late 70’s and early 80’s for a bit. I am a big Hoover Dam aficionado and go out every visit with traveling friends and always stop into the skyline for a quick breakfast.
I have been doing this for almost 40 years and really enjoy the $ 1.49 breakfast and the biscuits and gravy are the BEST IN VEGAS…
Don’t pass this hidden gem up and stop in and chow down… Prime Rib is extra thick and juicy.
The dress code is very casual, I have tested this theory many times over the years… Fun and Excitement abound

Love it here. Amazing food amazing prices and amazing service. After 20 years coming (since i was a little kid) here this place never disappoints

Love this place!!! The staff is great they always make me feel welcome there. The food is outstanding in the resturaunt, love the shrimp cocktails and popcorn at the bar, live music is awesome and it’s close to home.

OK, the thing about this place USED to be value. You could come in, order up a Prime Rib diner, it used to be around 8 bucks, and it was tasty! Then head out a gamble in the casino spend a few bucks and have a good time, and the poker machines in here were LOOSE! Sadly things seem to have changed. The Prime Rib now is almost doubled in price, and remember those huge tasty diner rolls? They are gone. The meal is just ok for the money. As for the casino, you used to be able to sit in there and hear them announce a Royal Flush, pretty regularly on a busy night. The last few times I was there they didn’t announce a single Royal all night. Yes the machines are tighter no matter what they say. Its very hard to win here anymore. Too bad, was a great place at one time. I guess old Vegas is gone for good. Staff is still friendly though.

I’ve been patronizing this place and living in this area for decades. I have to say that the service and quality of employees has always been consistent and is definitely a reflection of management. I recently visited for dinner and there was only 2 servers on the floor and it was pretty hectic. The cashier /​Hostess was a true team player and asset to the team! If not for her I probably would have left angry. I tipped my server and my buser and when I tried to tip the hostess she didn’t want to take it because she didn’t want to take money out of the servers pocket! She reluctantly agreed after I begged her and explained that I had tipped them over 20%. Which means she did it solely for the sake of the team. There was other diners that she took care of as well. During this time there was an employee I believe from the slot Department attempting to eat his employee meal and expressed concern about me not eating on my way out the door which was very nice considering it’s not even his department and I don’t think he got to eat. Next morning I came back for breakfast and received excellent Service as usual and I would eat breakfast there as frequently as I do even if it wasn’t for the breakfast special. On my way out the door one of the restaurant employees was on her way in and made sure to speak to me and tell me to have a nice day. She wasn’t even on the clock yet, she seemed genuinely happy to be there. I don’t drink, gamble, or smoke, but I can say that the restaurant and its employees deserves 5 stars. I’ve been coming here since way before the remodel, I wish they would bring the salad bar back. If one wanted to see the contrast one could go to Jokers Wild and experience the most horrible service on a regular basis, restaurant managers at Jokers Wild could really learn from the skyline how to build a good team. And the skyline has the best biscuits and gravy in town hands down! Everytime I eat biscuits and gravy I compare them to the skyline, and they never come close.

Love the relaxed pace here. Love the Prime Rib here. And food is fast and service is always great. John the waiter is great.

I just love the skyline! The fact that it is a smaller size locals casino I think adds to its charm. For being on the smaller side they have a nice selection of penny slots. There are plenty of video poker machines also to go around. There is normally live entertainment in the bar area. They also have progressive video poker at the bar. I have had a lot of gambling luck here also, the video poker is very loose.

The service is always exceptional here! The food is pretty good too. Nothing fancy but what they do they do right. The specials are a great value. The chicken fried chicken special is fantastic. I tend to drink a lot during a meal, and here my drink is always kept full without ever going empty. If you want to relax with a nice meal and enjoy some friendly, efficient service, this is the place! The biscuits and gravy rock.

What a joke. I suggested we go here for dinner a couple months ago after I found a coupon for the prime rib dinners. Once we were seated at a table with food crumbs all under and around it we were told that they were out of prime rib so both my husband and I ordered the all you can eat shrimp. I also added a dinner salad and was «warned» by the waiter that it cost extra. OK anyway, I only ate a couple of my shrimp while my husband had a refil on his. During our meal a man started sweeping up the food crumbs on the floor and that kinda killed my appetite When I asked for a to go plate the waiter said he had to wait for my husband. I was a bit confused and asked what he was waiting for and he told me he was waiting for my husband to finish his 3 pieces of shrimp that were still on his plate because he had to make sure that we weren’t going to take them home. This felt like he was accusing us of trying to steal 3 measly pieces of shrimp. We asked for a manager and instead of an apology she actually covered for this dumb move. I would never waste my money or time in here again. I really miss the way the SKYLINE used to treat customers. Wouldn’t it have been smarter IF the customer wanted the 3 pieces of shrimp to add to the other 6 pieces they were taking home, to just let them have it instead of insulting them with the assumption that they were going to take it? It’s easier to keep customers then to get new ones. All in all, the food was OK and the service sucked. Cost was about $ 46. Should have gone to Olive Garden.

Very bad service at the bar. I have been coming to this casino for food and drink at a bar for a year. I never had any issue with the bartender except one. She is very rude. She’s older lady (can’t really tell if she’s white or Hispanic). She’s there at night. You will notice right away because she is the only one who will tell you that if you play 3 – 5 coins every time continuously, then she can comp you drink. Anyway, I went there today. Had dinner at the restaurant, then walked to the bar. Put in $ 20 and gambled a little bit. Then she asked me what kind of drink do I want. So I ordered a drink. Then, I ordered the shrimp cocktail which I paid for myself. After 2 mins of gambling, I had to stop gamble a little bit in order to text someone. When she came back, she saw me texting. She yelled at me and said if I’m not gambling, she’s gonna charge me for the drinks that I ordered. So, I said I has been gambling. I just had to text my friend for a little bit. Then, she said «No, you are not gambling». So my question is how did she know I wasn’t gambling. She has been walking around and served drink to other customers. Maybe she has nothing else to do. I tipped her $ 2 which I should have taken it back. She then threaten me that she will call the security if I yell at her. So, I was so mad and got up and talked to the manager. He’s not really doing anything. I told him that if they want me to pay for the drink, I’ll pay for it. I have money. Don’t even care about the comp. The manager just kept blaming that he’s his false. But he’s not gonna do anything. Just gonna talk to her. So, that’s it. I’m not going back there again. Not if that bitch is working there. I will not recommend any of my friends or anyone to go there. I would rather go to the joker wild or other casino where they welcome their customers and better service. I have no intention of going back there. Also, not to mention that the whole casino smells like smoke which stain my shirt every time I go there. Rest room is nasty. Looks like they don’t really clean it often. It’s only one restroom there. So, as a conclusion, it’s a very bad casino. I don’t want to step back there again. I don’t want to see that bartender anywhere. I would recommend you guys to go to joker wild casino or drive a little bit further to sunset station, or east side cannary or SAMs town casino for the bar. They treat their customers very good. Not an asshole like this one. If you really have up go there, ask for another bartender (usually there are two of them there). The while young girl is very nice. She doesn’t complain or bother you at all. She’s very friendly. Lastly, this casino doesn’t have the player card so they do comp by recognizing your face. So, they have no way to tract how much you have been gambling.

I’ve lived in Vegas for 12 years, but have never visited the Skyline, until tonight. I had heard good things about it from an older family member who remembers & loves old-​school Vegas, and finally decided to see what I’d been missing. This review is for the restaurant:
What pulled me in was the $ 8.95 Prime Rib Special (must purchase a beverage to receive this price); it’s available 11a-​11p everyday. We arrived at about 8:20 p.m. and were kindly greeted by a female employee shortly after entering. We weren’t sure exactly where the restaurant was, but just kept walking deeper into the casino, and turning right until we found it. A blazing pink neon sign announcing «Restaurant» was a dead giveaway. We walked in and were seated by the hostess in less than 45 seconds, she offered booth or table as there was plenty of room (maybe 10 other diners?). We chose the booth. It was very roomy & table/​seats were clean. Ambiance was very calm & quiet, despite the presence of other patrons. I saw two big screen televisions with the Astros/​Rangers game on, and thankfully the volume was off.
While we were glancing at the menus to select an appetizer, a gentleman came out and took our drink orders. My fellow diner requested a soda & I asked for a beer. He said he’d be right back with the soda, as soon as he let the cocktail waitress at the bar know that I wanted to order. He left to inform her and get the soft drink, and before he came back with it, she showed up. I asked what drink specials they had. She mentioned the «woo woo» (vodka, cranberry juice & peach schnapps) and that Bud Light, Modelo & PBR drafts were $ 2. I went with the Modelo. She left to retrieve my suds, and shortly thereafter, the gent I mentioned earlier returned with my guy’s Coke.
Next, our server inquired as to our orders. We selected the shrimp cocktail appetizer, and both of us decided on the prime rib with a side of fries (other options are mashed potato or baked potato). She asked how we would like them cooked, (rare for me, medium rare for him). About 5 minutes was all we had to wait for the appetizer. Chilled shrimp in a tall plastic glass on a plate, one shrimp fork, one plastic container of cocktail sauce & 2 packs of saltine crackers = nice little snack to hold us until the real food came. About 10 minutes after we finished it, the entrée came. They got it right! Mine even had the little red plastic stake proclaiming «RARE» in it. The meat was very tender and moist, served with a generous bowl of au jus and a small plastic container of horseradish. The flavor/​seasonings of the prime rib were unfamiliar to me, but very delicious. Very good taste without being overly salty. The fries were hot and fresh, so crispy! My only complaint: the horseradish was very mild and had no bite. It barely tasted like anything.
As for the service, we were asked three times while eating (about an hour) if we would like another drink, and our server inquired once as to how we were enjoying our meal and if we needed anything. They were appropriately attentive without being irritating, responsive without hovering. Total damage for a draft beer, Coke (one refill), shrimp cocktail and 2 prime rib dinners was less than $ 25 after tax!
There was a model train running on a ledge above the restaurant, which was interesting to watch. It wasn’t noisy, so not a distraction when trying to talk. The whole place was pretty quiet, including the casino floor. It was a nice change, compared to the places I normally frequent. I can see how some people might be bothered by the cigarette smell/​smoke lingering, but it’s an old casino. I expected that and therefore didn’t find it problematic.
We are already planning our next visit here; they have live music several nights a week and we want to see what that’s all about. If you like the throwback vibe and can appreciate Old Vegas, visit with confidence.

When you first walk into this place you’ll notice right away all the cool antique and vintage décor.
It’s clean and somber. It’s a very relaxing place to kick back and do some gambling. The staff is friendly and because it’s on a smaller scale they remember your name. I’ve notice quite a few regulars go there and that is a comfortable community feeling.
The restaurant is clean with friendly staff and a good basic menu. It was really good for its simplicity.
Our son loved the trains running around the ceiling.
All and all I would recommend this place for a nice comfortable getaway off the strip.

Cigarette smoke engulfs you as soon as you open the door. Nice people working there but without an adequate ventilation system, they won’t get my business and certainly won’t get me eating there. A no smoking section makes no difference, the whole places reeks of smoke.

My family and I have been going to the Skyline for 15 years when we moved out to Henderson. It has gone through a lot of changes over the years. And all of them improvements.
The food is fresh and delicious. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner! The service is outstanding and the hospitality is unsurpassed.
We like to sit in either Diane’s or Teri’s stations. They are fast and friendly! They always get our orders right and make sure our food is served hot!
When we have friend or relatives come from out of state or out of town we take them there to eat! They are always impressed! The Prime Rib is fantastic and can hold it’s own against any of the high priced strip restaurants, for a fraction of the price!
For breakfast, if you like biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak, you MUST give them a try! Skyline restaurant has the best!
Sit with Di or Teri, and tell em’ Anthony & Cynthia sent ya!

Love breakfast here favorite spot from my childhood. French toast are to die for! Best customer service very attentive.

Old school casino. I went here to eat as I heard they have a train on the ceiling. The casino itself is small which is nice and they announce winnings and i heard several of those, $ 500 ones and such. Anyway, I easily found the restaurant. There was only about 3 people in the restaurant when I arrived about 7 pm, yesterday Thursday evening. The train wasn’t on but I was told by my friend if it’s not on to just ask. I hadn’t yet but apparently someone else did and the 2 trains in their own tracks started up. I actually found it very relaxing. The business picked up and a few more diners came in. My server was nice. Just my glass of ice tea was dirty. I just got a house salad which was actually very good and dessert, the tux cake with vanilla ice cream which also was good. 70s music was playing, and i mean like the defranco family heartbeat it’s a love beat and leo Sayer 70s music. Yes embarrassingly I knew those. It’s definitely a blast from the past but small and homey altho smokey as are all casinos. I was here on business travel and was staying next door at the best Western plus which is actually quite nice so I’ll review that as well. It’s definitely a local spot. And more of a diner /​coffee shop than I would say restaurant feel.

Old, smelly, dark… this is totally what I expected when I got here. I heard that they had amazing prime rib but when my «rare» slab came to the table, it was definitely «well done» with no pink whatsoever. It was bland and dry. The prices are cheap and the portions are large but I would never go out of my way to eat here again.

Been coming here for the last two years, and I love it here. Surprisingly I am only 26 and I love this place! A very good friend of mine had introduced me to this place. Yes the crowd is a little older, but it’s still a fun place.
Marty is the best! He is the manager of the restaurant and the food is pretty amazing.
If you love video poker, this is the place for you, and old style machines where the coins still come out, not tickets. Also the staff is very friendly here and take care of you.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years and every experience was excellent.
This little casino is from the old school… it’s been here for years. Low ceilings, crowded, low lights.
The food is always excellent and the staff is always friendly.

What a great little dive casino. Filled with locals and has good drink prices.
