Arizona Charlie’s Boulder Review

Arizona Charlie’s Boulder is on Boulder Highway between Sam’s Town and Boulder Station. It is owned by Golden Entertainment, which specializes in local gaming taverns. The company’s most notable brands include PT’s Pub, Sierra Gold and Sean Patrick’s. Stratosphere, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur and Aquarius Casino in Laughlin are all sister casinos to Arizona Charlie’s Boulder.
Arizona Charlie’s Boulder is a standard locals joint for this area of Las Vegas. It is smoky and not as modern as the big Las Vegas resort casinos. There are low limits on table games and plenty of penny and nickel slots. The quality of video poker at Arizona Charlie’s Boulder is significantly below par with the rest of the Boulder Highway market.
Finally, there is a small sportsbook and a bingo hall on the property. The dining options reflect the clientele, with low-priced meals and quick bites.
Though there is a hotel and 3 bars, there is little to do at Arizona Charlie’s beyond gambling. There is a lounge act at Palace Grand Lounge several days a week but that is all that is available entertainment wise.
