We ended up at the Virgin River Hotel and Casino across the street and enjoyed their Prime Rib special - highly recommended, if you’re in the area. You just lost a potential new customer with your pretentious upper-class shit you pulled on two hungry area residents. Now 31 (Was 55) on Tripadvisor: Virgin River Hotel & Casino, Mesquite. Yes, you of the seating times in your freakin’ buffet. What the holy hell? Seating times for a Nevada casino buffet? And at a tiny place known for…well, hell, I can’t think of anything the Eureka is known for! Can I put you on the list for the next seating?”

“I’m sorry, Sir, we just closed our 5:30 seating. We sauntered over to the buffet line and told the hostess “2 for the buffet, please.” So we were looking forward to a pleasant dinner. We pulled in about 5:45 PM and walked inside, very hungry since neither of us had time for lunch.

However, last night we received a slap upside the head that pretty much assured we’ll never return to the Eureka.

There are four hotel/casino resorts in town, and we thought we’d go to the Eureka, a smaller place we hadn’t been to in over 5 years.ĥ years ago the casino was small, the hotel was the best in town, and the buffet was barely passable by Nevada standards. After the recent episode with my mother (a mild heart attack, followed by three weeks of rehab), my wife and I decided we’d get away for the evening and travel 37 miles south to a small town in Nevada called Mesquite (about an hour and a half north of Las Vegas).
