There's only one reason to stumble into the Nugget, and that's to enjoy the greasy diner at the very back of the joint. The casino is slots-only.


Table Games: Keep walking, buddy.
Machines: Lots and lots of nickel machines, many older reel slots. We looked high and low and didn't find a single full-pay video poker machine. The slots here have a reputation of being tighter than at places like the Cal Neva or Fitzgeralds.
Cocktails? The bar is always within a 30 foot walk of any place in the casino,. Once they lure you in here to play their tight games they want to keep you around for a while. The bar has a $4 32 oz. Frozen margarita for those of you who want girlie-drinks in mass quantities. Thereis no guarantee that there will be a cocktail waitress.
Who Gets Comps? Try elsewhere because they ain't handing out much here.


The Greasy Diner: The cramped diner has cooks who work right before your eyes, and they serve up the world-famous Awful-Awful, a hot, juicy burger on a fat bed of crispy, thin, seasoned fries for $5.50. We highly recommend it--even at that lofty price--as the cure for hangovers or just as a good dinner before you start the serious gambling. Other features are pancakes and eggs and chef specials, like pork chops or fried chicken, for a reasonable price. Oh, and by the way, we made up the diner's name. The Nugget doesn't bother calling its diner anything special.
