Well I just got back from my years Elko trip, and as usual it went great. I made individual reviews for the girls, this will be mostly food, hotel, gambling.
I stayed at Stockmens which is my second time now. I am sure everyone has their own preference but I like staying there for a few reasons. First its literally two blocks away and you can walk if need be. I am lazy and drive, although since most of my parties are late at night and I use cash I figure why take a chance right? Not that its not safe, but why risk the karma Gods.
Second when you stay at Stockmens you get a breakfast voucher with four options to choose from. I'm assuming the most popular is the meat/egg one. Two eggs, 2 bacon or sausage, hashbrowns or breakfast potatoes, and toast plus drink all for free. If you want to save spending money on a meal this definitely helps. I only usually ate Breakfast and dinner because this filled me up.
As for the room itself, cant complain, very basic, no issues in two years. They have an outdoor pool which again is good enough, I used it almost every day just to soak.
Elko has a great variety for food, love their local and if you are in a bind they have a variety of fast food.
I highly recommend Pizza Barn. Absolutely great pizza, ate there twice this trip. You will thank yourself its that good. Only thing I hated was the Mozz sticks, they were godawful, I've had frozen grocery store one's that were better. Easily my favorite restaurant in Elko though.
The Blind Onion - had to try this place based on recommendations, I also thought it had good pizza, not quite Pizza Barn level, but I'd definitely eat there again. Literally across the street from Stockmens.
Ogi's Sandwich shop/bar - Another recommendation, Also not even a block away from Stockmens. I'm a sucker for a good French Dip, but I didnt really care for theirs, heard their regular deli sandwiches are good though.
Dos Amigos - if you love Mexican food youll love Dos Amigos. Ate there twice this trip, definitely one of my favorites. Highly recommend, also heard good things about La Fiestsa and Robertos(?), which is open 24hrs apparently. They are on my list for next year. I also do NOT recommend Gibraltos or whatever it was. Ate there last year and thought it was horrible.
Wingers - ate there last year as well, your typical wing/burger joint. Good food, would recommend.
Matties Tap bar/grill - again ate there last year as well. Definitely recommend.
Also noticed a few new options that I've never been to or noticed. There is a Chipotle and also another that I cant recall what the name is but same concept.
Didn't go there this year but Cooks steak house is by Stockmens, good, but very expensive. Also The Star has a family style where you get an absolute ton of food, also somewhat pricey but worth the experience at least once.
Gambling - Stockmens has a craps bubble machine so I played that mostly. Peter and I also played a few hours at Gold Dust West live craps but I lost what money I had one. I tbink they have a live game Thurs thru Sunday or something like that, Peter would know for sure.
Lastly, I cant say enough or give enough thanks to Louis, he is always helpful and I love the way he runs his business. As an outsider looking in it seems like he runs his business well, employees/girls appear to be treated well and Ive never heard anyone say anything remotely bad. Louis treats every customer like they are his best #1, I cant fault him at all, especially when there's people like me who constantly nag him about if certain ladies will be there, or dealing with all ofy edits/ changes because I see a new girl and am easily distracted.
If you are new to all of this and are on the fence about where to go and how to coordinate it, just contact Louis, you wont be disappointed. A good example I like to use is if you went back in time 5yrs ago and told me I'd be playing craps with a brothel manager (Peter) I would have thought you were crazy.
In short especially if you are a first timer I highly recommend you start out at Mona's/Inezs. You literally cant go wrong.
Well, until next year. With luck my all time favorite, Ariana, will come back.
