An Overnight In Jackpot, Nevada

We had a great overnight trip to Jackpot, Nevada.  Although quick, we were able to see my sister who lives/works there and enjoy some delicious food.

Along our route was a brewery in Twin Falls I was anxious to try.  Looking at the online menu for Milner’s Gate, it had delicious looking happy hour foods as well as good prices.  We tried to plan it so we arrived at 3pm and it was pretty darn close.  Yeah for happy hour!

Even thought beer was half priced during happy hour, I always need to try a flight. You never know when you will be back so you might as well try them all.  I enjoyed my flight.

The pub chips and onion dip was what really caught my attention.  And they had pizzas for $10.  We tried both of those items and also got the Idaho Nachos, made with friend jojo potatoes.  

That was a little too much fried food so I would not get the nachos again.  This pizza was perfect for the price and since we had too much food, we took our pub chips and dip to go and enjoyed it during our stay in Jackpot.

There is nothing special about Jackpot.  However, they have suites at Cactus Petes that has a large bathtub made for four…tiny people maybe!  I do love a large bathtub for two adults thought.  Our suite was really nice and quite large.  We had two balcony views of the pool.

With the COVID restrictions lifting, you no longer have to wear masks if you are fully vaccinated.  They are still not 100% up and running with no buffets and limited restaurant/hours.  We also stopped into the new casino recently built called Dotty’s.  It was just so-so.  I had thought we might grab a bite to eat there as it is the only 24/7 place to eat.  We will have to try their food on another trip.  It is not a designated restaurant instead just a kitchen that makes food for you to eat at one of their tables scattered around the three joining casino rooms.  With it being newly built, it was fairly smoke free too.  But, it is not a smoke free casino.

We had planned two nights but came home early thinking we would need to be here for our mattress delivery.  None the less, there was an error on the shipping labels so we have not received our purchase as of yet.  This allowed me to have some time at home before returning to work today.  I am working a long stretch this week.
