Jerry’s Nugget Casino

Off the beaten path, across from two strip clubs, Jerry’s proudly sits in one of the sketchiest neighborhoods in Las Vegas.
Though it’s nothing an out of town visitor needs to check out, a local might find it comforting with it’s homey mom and pop feel.
I’ve enjoyed playing Texas Ultimate Hold ‘Em and bingo there on a few occasions, visited their gift shop/​players club counter and marveled at the displays of olive oil, prominently featured both in gift shop and the the café.
It’s nothing glamorous, but employees are friendly, it’s not packed, and in spite of what some other reviewers said– the smoke smell isn’t nearly as bad as you’d think. Sadly, the pungent odor of deep fryers from the snack counter is what assaults your senses as you walk in a door. I’ll take smoke any day over smell of stale grease, and I’m not even a smoker.
Cocktail service is very prompt and very friendly, in Bingo parlor, slot pit, and at the tables.
Exterior is quite nice as well. Well lit and even in this part of town, I don’t feel unsafe.
My favorite part has to be two old neon signs on display in bingo parlor and enlarged prints of signs from the Neon Boneyard Museum on walls throughout the property.
All in all, I think Jerry’s has it going on just fine for the local crowd, and I wish them more prosperous years.

My favorite casino to gamble at! Great food too! The pizza place is good. The café is clean and good customer service. Love the snack bar as well!

Mike Steele makes this place awesome! Drinks taste amazing and his personality makes me want to come back over and over. Thanks guys !

Overall, the best restaurant in Vegas for the price. 90% of the people here are locals. Worse part of the place is the neighborhood it’s located in. The parking lot is secure though, so you won’t have a problem

Prime rib dinners without the long lines!
This place is perfect to unwind and a great option from the hustle and bustle of the strip.
The crowd is more relaxed and less stressed!
The staff are friendly and provide great customer service.
The parking lot is small but well lit.
I’d be back again for sure.

This is a mom & pop I think. But what I like is the fact that everyone is inviteing and over all hospitable. I ran around like a kid bouncing from one machine that dished out coins to another. It’s nice to be at a casino where you can make a few dollars and buy your friends lunch. Inside they have good mexican pizzas. I dont like they first time points program. So they want you to get 1000 points to get 100 bucks free play. To that I stick out my toung and say pffff. Over all I give them 3 stars. My friends liked it to they played Black Jack & Texas Hold Em. Other friends played Video Poker. I’m still all excited that I won fifty bucks Playing Video Poker. I think returning is a must.

I have been coming to the casino since I was in school. Back then it was to eat in the coffee shop. Awesomely friendly staff!

Dinner’s here are great. Good prime rib for cheap. Good local casino and they have good player’s benefits. Weekly cash rewards and you can cash your points in for booze lol. Good payouts as expected from a local.

Been eating here for over 30 years. I ordered English cut prime rib with French fries, garlic bread and Mexican salad. I asked for extra sauce on my Mexican salad when our waitress made it along with my girlfriends. Was very disappointed she didn’t put hardly any sauce in either one of the two salads, fries were cold, garlic bread was cold, asked for more horseradish for prime rib. Got our bill she charged $ 1.00 for horseradish and $ 1.25 for extra sauce that she didn’t put on. This place use to be awesome fresh food, always hot, didn’t nickle and dime customers but this was just the opposite experience hope was just a bad experience.

My go to diner! My grandparents lived in this area, we know it well! And as I grew up and had a job on nightshift we would be eating their famous prime rib sandwiches (my fav). The food is great, prices are fair, the dessert selection is awesome, the sugarfree desserts are amazing. The bad? It’s in a smoky casino, can’t help that. I recently tried the steak and lobster special a steal 19.89! Salad, potato, garlic bread steak and lobster! Still a fan. You would earn 5 stars if you would allow take out.

I LOVE THIS CASINO! For the people that go low budget to vegas, go here if you want to play some 25 cents roulette! most places in vegas are minimum 5 dollar bet, some 1 dollar, but this is the only place i know of which has a 25 cents roulette table. this way you can play a long time if you want and have a fun couple of hours. we went here a couple of times and lou was our table guy. he brought me luck! we won a couple times and had a blast! also the serving drink ladies were fast and very friendly… the table floor manager, a african american man… LISSEN TO HIM! he knows magic… he stood by the table and looked and i asked him which number it was gonna be. he said 29 is his Lucky number… well i put on 29 and guess what. he was right! i won! i was so happy. then blackjack. also 25 cents! a nice african american lady had a lot of patience with me as i was a beginner with it and she explained everything very well, although she didnt have to do this. she took her time. really nice. all with all, a very good casino experience here! nice people, good service, cheap bets. i will go back here !!!

This is a great place for me, as a local, to bring my out-​of-​town guests who want to gamble without the intimidation of the strip casinos.
Jerry’s coffee shop has cronuts on the weekends which are amazing!!! If you haven’t tried them yet, you should!!!

this review is for their coffee shop. One of the best kitchens in town. Always a great meal.

I’m probably one of the few from LA that even knows about this place. It is about a mile away from downtown vegas. I love coming here because it is far away from the flashy lights and loud music. The tables are always open when I come. Also the bingo room is the best. Every time I play bingo here there are around 30 people playing. Making the odds of winning better than anywhere else.

Fare thee well Jerry. After 24 years and my last dining experience at the coffee shop my family and I bid you a fond farewell. What is going on in this restaurant? Waited over an hour to be seated in a half empty restaurant. Problem? The cooks were backed up Really? Staffing issues were the next guess. Ok. Ordered appetizer, a reuben sandwich, and a dinner special (fish) and chicken fingers. Appetizer never came. Dinner arrived 40 minutes after ordering. Sandwich inedible. Mystery meat dark purple and crunchy ?? Fish, completely tasteless on 2 slices of tomato instead of the bed of spinach as stated. When I told the manager the fish was frozen (that was THE only flavor) he argued with me and said it was «ice packed» not frozen. I sit corrected. The manager tried to make things right but we had no appetite and were not interested in waiting another 40 minutes. After noticing a subtle decline the past few years. this is the end for me. Very sad. I have very fond memories of this place. MANAGEMENT… fresh food please, stop with the frozen crap. and SEASON the food as described.

Not the normal place I’d go. The smell of old smoke and the feel of grime everywhere has made this a place I won’t be returning to. My friend loves this place because she’s been able to meet a lot of people. I will say on the bright side and probably the only bright side was that the people here were very nice.

As casinos go, this one really has little going for it. It is away from downtown and the strip so you won’t walk there. It is like walking into a lit box of cigarettes, the carpet and décor is old and worn, and in general the people there do not look happy.
I do enjoy Jerry’s deli for cheap, decent comfort food though which is why it gets 2 stars.

The Meh, I’ve experienced better definitely sums up this place. But, what would you expect for this part of town. It was surprisingly packed… with elderly people. This place is super smoky, and really seedy. Lol, North Las Vegas at its finest. I did a little gambling, about $ 5 worth on Caveman Keno, while waiting to be seated for lunch at the coffee shop. Guess what?! I didn’t win anything :(

Jerry’s Nugget is a very pleasant locals’ casino and a real find for tourists. If you love good food, you’ll love it. (If you love crowds, waits, and struggles to get in, if you go out to see and be seen, and if you only like spendy status eating, this is not the place for you.)
Jerry’s Nugget is a quick drive about 12 blocks north of downtown on Las Vegas Blvd. There is plenty of parking around the building and in the lot next door. The area is clean and well-​lit and looked fine to us, everything neat and occupied. Our second dinner there was on a Friday night during Bikefest. There was no crowd to fight for one of the finest meals you’ll ever get.
Definitely try whatever specials are offered at Jerry’s Famous Coffee House. Excellent food at amazing prices, and lots of variety on the regular menu. We had the steak and king crab special — half a pound of each, a full dinner for $ 7.89, and easily worth much more. There is also the option of a pound of king crab for $ 9.89. Everything was delicious. The outstanding soups are homemade, as are the delectable looking desserts. There’s also a bake shop and Uncle Angelo’s Pizza to tempt you.

No Frills Local Action.
I primarily came to Jerry’s Nugget for a prime rib dinner at the Jerry’s Coffee Shop. I have relatives in LV and they wanted something less fancy and less-​expensive than Lawry’s, so we ended up here. See my other [forthcoming] review on the dining experience. This is certainly not the _​best_​Vegas has to offer from a gaming or dining perspective.
I got spanked at the craps table at this joint. Jerry’s Nugget proved that the house always wins over the long run. Only ONE craps pit here. The whole family was here and we took up the table for ourselves and probably donated a G to Jerry’s that night just at craps. The only good rolls came from the only non-​family member at the table, I made more money off of him than he did on himselft. Unfortunately, I was too optimistic of everyone else in the family’s ability to pass and gave it all back to Mr. Jerry.
Dealers and Pit Bosses are super friendly. Props to Kevin — he’ll talk your ear off and help you when things get good.
Made up for the punishment at the craps table with some action at the blackjack table. This made me want to re-​evaluate where I find the entertainment value of gaming in Vegas. Craps is still my main vice.
Pros —
–locals, locals, locals
–small and intimate
–little to no tourists
–friendly dealers and wait staff
–low table minimums
–good for groups (you can’t lose anyone here — try finding someone in a group of 10 in the MGM!!!)
–great coffee shop!
Cons —
–sketchy neighborhood
–out of the way && in the middle of nowhere «old las vegas»
–little to no tourists
–ZERO eye-​candy (this ain’t the Hard Rock)
This is a 1 star joint that gets 1 star for the friendly staff and 1 more star for the coffee shop with an extensive menu with cheap and decent prime rib.
Would I return? Yes
Would I return just for gaming? No…
Would I return to eat then play? Absolutely
