Is Arizona Charlie's Boulder Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

Arizona Charlie's Boulder is a straightforward, value-first locals' casino on Boulder Highway, a few miles from the Strip. It doesn't pretend to be a resort - the appeal is rock-bottom prices: cheap rooms, bargain dining and a no-fuss casino with more than 600 slot and video poker machines plus a bingo room running sessions every odd hour from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

It's best suited to budget travelers with a car who'd rather spend their money on gaming than on the room - just know the play here is machines, bingo and a William Hill sportsbook; live table games were removed in 2019. You trade location and polish for genuine savings.

Know before you book: there is a resort fee despite the budget positioning - $29.99 plus tax, about $34 a night - though in-room Wi-Fi is free and self-parking in the four-story garage costs nothing. The location is the real trade-off: the hotel sits about 5.5 miles east of the Strip on a car-first stretch of Boulder Highway with little to walk to. There is no airport or Strip shuttle; without a car, the RTC's BHX Boulder Highway Express bus stops along Boulder Highway and links downtown's Bonneville Transit Center with Henderson.

Insider tipBooking non-smoking? Reserve the "Deluxe Suite - 2 Doubles" specifically - it's the one suite that's always non-smoking, while the king-and-double suite has its smoking status assigned at check-in based on whatever's available.

Deluxe Suite - 1 King and 1 Double

This suite pairs a king bed with a double bed in a separate bedroom, for more space and privacy than a standard room (the hotel lists this suite at two guests even though its general cap is four per room - confirm occupancy when booking).

Frequently asked questions

Does Arizona Charlie's Boulder charge a resort fee?

Yes - despite the budget rates, a resort fee of $29.99 plus tax (about $34 a night, all in) is added to every room. It covers in-room coffee, phone calls and pool access, and in-room Wi-Fi is free on top of it.

Can I reach the Strip without a car?

It's awkward: there's no airport or Strip shuttle, and the hotel sits 5.5 miles east on a car-first stretch of Boulder Highway, roughly a 15-minute drive to mid-Strip. Your no-car option is the RTC's BHX Boulder Highway Express bus, which runs along Boulder Highway linking downtown's Bonneville Transit Center with Henderson - otherwise plan on a ride-share.

Does Arizona Charlie's Boulder have table games?

No - live table games were pulled in 2019, so play is machines-only: 600-plus slot, video poker and video keno machines, a William Hill sportsbook, and a bingo room every odd hour from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. A little-known perk: bingo comes with free house-baked pastries on Wednesdays and free popcorn on Fridays.

Are the rooms really that cheap?

Yes - rates start around $24 a night, genuinely rock-bottom for Las Vegas. The catch is the roughly $34 resort fee, which can cost more than the room itself, so weigh the all-in nightly total rather than just the headline rate.

Is there a buffet or room service?

Neither anymore - the old Charlie's Market Buffet has closed and there's no room service. Dining is now three budget spots, most of them round-the-clock: PT's Express (24-hour wings, cheesesteaks and burgers), a 24-hour Denny's and a Dunkin'.
