Restaurant Review

Bring a Healthy Appetite to the always busy Rainbow Club and Casino (122 S. Water St. 565- 9777) in Henderson's downtown district. The popular casino has a 24-hour dining room that serves a nice selection of solid American dishes at bargain prices. Some of the chef's specialties include the Chicken Fried Steak, Liver & Onions, Golden Fried Shrimp, New York Steak, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Prime Rib. ($8.75 regular cut, $10.75 thick cut).

You can save even more on Sunday's Early Dinner Specials (served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), which are frequently priced as low as $4.75 and often include main courses such as fresh Fried Chicken, Beef Tidbits & Boneless Pork Chops.

I've been coming to Henderson for the past 15 years and been eating at this place for the past 13. At first, you think it's some place that sort of tacky but I've grown to absolutely love it. The decor sort of look like it used to be a strip club with the hot pink and blue lights all around the place. It just makes me feel happy when I'm in this place. This has been the only place that has been consistent with the service and food to my liking. The prices are so reasonable.
THEY HAVE GREAT HAMBURGERS! I always ask for thousand island on the side and it just makes it that much better. They have really great fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I've heard they have good chicken fried steaks as well. The breakfast is always reliable. Pancakes, waffles, and egg dishes have all been consistent. Okay now.......The Prime Rib.......... It is so cheap and you have a choice of regular cut or thick cut. HUGE! The money difference is only about a $1 and by the way.........DELICIOUS!
We tend to gamble here as well. This has been the only place that we can always walk away with some money. It tends to get crowded around dinner time. Expect to have a long wait if you come around this time.
Hope you like the place as well. I really think it's worth it especially if you are trying to save some moolah on the eats.

I forgot to mention on my review about the casino side of this place. This is my twin and mine ABSOLUTE favorite place to gamble in the WHOLE entire world. We play the 20 card Keno slots and we stay here for hours and hours kicking it. One thing about the small casinos is the waitress comes around all the time. IT's AWESOME. The Casino staff are absolutely wonderful.....Lynda, Anthony, Anthony (not a typo....they're 2 Anthony's) and Chris are so friendly and helpful! There is no other place that comes close to my heart as this little gem in the desert. :)

This is one of my favorite local joints.  Small and out of the way of the crazy Vegas scene, it's a great place to grab a meal, drink or gamble low stakes machines.

The Rainbow has debatably one of the best diners in the area, and its very cheap.  The service is always stellar, and the employees remember faces they've seen before.  They employ some of the friendliest servers and bartenders in town.  As a local, I frequent this place often.

There aren't any table games here, if you're looking to gamble.  Just machines.  They go as low as 1-cent games, and as usualy, if you're gambling you drink for free.  So it can be one of the cheapest places to drink anywhere (including home).

Usually the patrons of this place are on the older end of the spectrum, but on any given day or night you may find a good mix of people here.

The restaurant in this little locals casino has some of the best burgers you'll find in town at a reasonable price.

My favorite is the bacon double cheeseburger. I'm a big guy and this is almost too much food for me which really says something.

Two big pattys- I'm guessing 1/3lb each, so a total of 2/3lb of really good quality beef and your choice of cheese. What really makes this burger outstanding though is the perfectly cooked thick cut bacon. Two large strips of awesomeness criss-cross the top of the burger. Build the rest yourself with the lettuce, tomato, and onion provided on the side. I like some mayo to finish it off and you're good to go.

I haven't found a better BDCB in Vegas yet.

The food is good, cheap and there are no frills here. My parents live in Henderson and have taken us here a few times. It is certainly not a tourist place to seek out but it could be.

I know we have eaten here a few time and the food never disappoints.

This place is super divey but totally awesome. You can play the games here with better odds than on the strip and get stiff drinks and cheap food. What more do you need?!

And if it is your thing you can smoke in here too, unless they changed that.

Cute little casino that Grandma took us too for breakfast.  And wow, was the food cheap.  For the 3 of us $20 for breakfast.  That's one reason I love Vega$, the cheapness factor.  I had a waffle with strawberries and my fiancé had the pork chop breakfast.  It was huge.  2 huge pork chops, eggs, hash browns, and biscuit and gravy.  The food was pretty good too, and this place was packed.  I will definitely go here again on the next trip.  I noticed in the menu they had a breakfast special for $1.99, but it was over at 11.  The casino was nice too, clean, lots of locals.  I didn't win anything here either, but I had fun, and that is all that matters.

They have a decent restaurant. Lots of penny games and the staff remembers you. Can get pretty crowded and smoky on weekends or holidays but other times it is nice - not too big, not too small and not full of tourists.
