Cactus Pete's Casino Jackpot, NV

Stayed overnight at Cactus Pete's 5/3/2024. Paved parking, fairly level in places. Other RVs and a few trucks there too. RV Park there is $20-26 per night for FHU (water is shut off in winter), looked nice with lots of pull-thrus. We stayed in the free parking lot. Large portions at the cafe, the slots were stingy, employees were all friendly and helpful. Steakhouse and deli/pizza on site as well, more across the highway. Since the reefer trucks left before bedtime, it was a fairly quiet night. We'd stay again.

Cactus Pete parking lot very crowded with mixture of semis and RVs but I managed to squeeze in between two of the above. RV Park also jammed and looked as if lots of people were having to turn away. I kept heater on low all night but it stayed above freezing anyway.
Buffet good but not cheap at $24, incl. beer and a tip.
Played my “system” on the slots and came up ahead by $7, even though I lost the free $15 that I got by renewing my player’s card. I began by losing and was worried that I might suffer my first loss of the season so I tripled the stakes in an effort to get back to the parking lot and my TV. Then I had a sizeable win of $27 that brought me flipside into the black and was able to quit.
Inquired about getting a room so I could have a shower. At $80 versus free in the parking lot, the choice was easy.
Changed mind and got my room, had my shower – excellent. Seafood buffet also excellent on Wed night. Only downside was that I finally ran out of luck and lost $40.00 on the devil machines. Interestingly, the room had no comfortable chair in which to sit and watch TV. Eventually, settled for the bed with 4 pillows to prop up head and neck
