FRIENDLINESS RATING: A
Extremely nice personnel, all the way from the slot hosts to the buffet servers. Here’s a good place to go when you want to be treated as a very important guest. The Fiesta definitely takes its “customer comes first” attitude from the older casinos, like the Lady Luck.

GAMBLING RATING: B
Comparable to the other North Las Vegas casinos (Texas Station, etc.) in size and type of games. Bingo is also very popular here, as is the drive-up sports book (I kid you not)!!

ATMOSPHERE: C
Again, a local’s casino. Not too flashy, not to sassy, but “just right.” This casino IS NOT located on the Strip, and is not a place that I’d recommend for tourists -- it’s extra safe, but the location is lousy when you want to see the sights of Vegas. Stop by to try to buffet and play a few rounds, and then head back to tourist country.

FOOD: D
The casino has a Mexican theme, so there are lots of Mexican food restaurants, as well as cheap margaritas. The buffet is just okay -- it is WAY overhyped. The Mongolian grill is disappointing when compared to Rio’s, and the original ideas, such as a pizza station, just aren’t that good. The nicest touch is a made-to-order coffee bar where you can enjoy a fresh, hot cappuccino or mocha coffee, complete with dark chocolate shavings and fresh whipped cream.
