Well that price can't be beat! I just wonder what the place is like, and how far it is from the brothels.

Everything is available on the internet.
1.4 miles from Mona's, northeast of there on Idaho Street.

Google reviews calls it a 2-star hotel and tripadvisor gives it a 3 out of 5 rating.

You don't know you will get that hotel on priceline, but you are guaranteed a 2-star.

I am making for my first ever trip to Elko in June. This has been a post has some very helpful information. Because I will be riding a motorcycle I  think I will stay at the Thunderbird Motel. The parking looks more secure the the casino, and it looks like it's in easy walking distance to the houses. Very excited.

I stayed there once.  Nice room, nice basic breakfast, nice small pool.  Excellent short walk to Mona's and the rest.

You'll be able to park that bike right in front of your door. It is a very short walk to the bar/casino/coffee shop of Stockmen's and a couple more blocks from there to the brothels.

When I last stayed at the Thunderbird there were 2 couples and a single traveling on motorcycles that were also staying there, and did their laundry (small one available there also). So with being an easy walk to the either eat or visit the ranches and nice rooms, should be a good option.

I was curious about the casinos in Elko.  I feel that with me coming into Nevada I would like to win some money gambling, possibly losing it too.  However I am not interested in playing slot machines at all.  Between Gold Dust West Elko and Red Lion which has the better table games?  I enjoy roulette, black jack and poker, where you actually have a chance of winning money.  Also can you tell me how high the min and max are usually towards gambling?

For 3 card poker do you have to bet on the flop, the turn and then again for the river?  I am familiar with Texas hold 'em.  If I am quoting this wrong please correct me.  Thanks for your help.


I am staying at "Ramada Hotel & Stockmen's Casino."  However their website says they only have table games on Monday-Saturday at 6pm-2am.  Why not earlier than 6pm-2am?

Stockmen's has a very small casino and there aren't enough customers to have table games open all day.

I can't answer for the other two casinos you mentioned, but they do have websites, so you might check those out. Or maybe someone here will answer.

I normally stay at the Red Lion, but I play most VP, so I can't help in regard to table games.  I don't know their operating hours, but I've seen their tables open from early morning till late at night, unlike Stockman's.  The same with the Gold Dust West.  I usually play VP at both places.  Although, I heard that the dealers at the Gold Dust tend to be friendlier than at the Red Lion, if that make a difference.

Thanks for your help "Dr. Who" I like the fact that Red Lion has an actual Roulette table and I have learned that they also have a $3 dollar black jack table.  I will just try to be friendly to the dealers there.

Did you win? I play nickel keno machines and even with wins of $950, $350 and $350 I still came out woefully in the red, but i'm not your normal gambler, either. LOL

I actually did go to Red Lion on both of my trips up up to Elko so far.  The Black Jack table happened to be $5 dollars and did okay.  BUT both times they had $1-$2 dollar Texas Hold'em poker competitions you sign up for.  The minimum is $50 dollars and that is what I started with.  I was able to walk away after I won $50 dollars on top of my original $50 dollars, that equaled $100 dollars!!  On my 2nd trip I bet $50 dollars and walked away with over $200 dollars!!  It was a lot of fun.  Their Texas Hold'em poker starts at 6pm on Friday and Saturday.

I'm not sure if all the Elko hotels do this, but if you stay at the Red Lion, they also have a complementary hardcopy of the visitors guide in your room.  I bought home a copy from my last visit.
