Arizona Charlie's Decatur

Arizona Charlie's Decatur is a cheap, no-frills locals' casino in the northwest, with basic budget rooms, bargain dining, daily bingo and free self-parking just off US 95. Off the beaten path but easy on the wallet, from $29/night.

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

Arizona Charlie's Decatur is a beloved locals' haven in the Northwest, a value-first casino hotel that trades resort polish for genuine savings. The rooms are basic but cheap, the casino has more than 700 slot and video poker machines plus a bingo hall running sessions every odd hour, and the dining is bargain-priced.

It's not on the Strip or downtown, but easy US 95 access keeps the city within reach — best for budget travelers with a car. With free self-parking and rates from around $29 a night, it's about affordability above all.

Factor the resort fee into the math: $33.99 plus tax (about $38 all-in) per night, which on the cheapest dates can cost more than the room itself, and the hotel authorizes a refundable $150 deposit at check-in. Self-parking in the surface lot is genuinely free. The property sits about 4 miles west of the Strip where Decatur Boulevard meets US 95, and there's no Strip or airport shuttle — count on a 10–15 minute drive to mid-Strip or an RTC bus along Decatur. Room-wise, the Klondike Tower got fully renovated rooms in 2024 with walk-in showers in the deluxe category, while the slightly smaller Meadows Tower rooms sit closest to the casino floor and the seasonal pool.

Insider tipBring a credit or debit card with a matching photo ID — check-in authorizes a refundable $150 incidentals hold, and the front desk won't accept gift cards or prepaid cards, so a cash-only budget can leave you stuck at the desk.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the resort fee at Arizona Charlie's Decatur?

It's $33.99 plus tax, roughly $38.41 all-in per night. On the cheapest dates — rooms start around $29 — that fee can top the room rate itself, so add it before you compare deals. It's also separate from the refundable $150 incidentals hold the hotel authorizes at check-in.

How far is Arizona Charlie's Decatur from the Las Vegas Strip?

About 4 miles west, where Decatur Boulevard meets US 95. There's no Strip or airport shuttle, so plan on a 10–15 minute drive or rideshare to mid-Strip, or an RTC bus down Decatur. The easy US 95 access is the payoff, but the hotel really only works if you have a car.

Klondike or Meadows Tower — which room should I book?

Klondike Tower rooms are the newer pick: 337 square feet, remodeled in 2024 with upgraded flooring, 55-inch TVs and walk-in showers in the deluxe category. Meadows Tower rooms are a touch smaller at 312 square feet but sit closest to the casino floor, restaurants and the seasonal pool.

Is there 24-hour food at Arizona Charlie's Decatur?

Yes. A Denny's and PT's Express both run around the clock, and the Elbow Creek Bar is open 24 hours too; River Rock Pizza & Pasta and a Dunkin' round out the lineup. There's no room service, so those late-night outlets are how you eat after hours.

Is parking free at Arizona Charlie's Decatur?

Yes — self-parking in the surface lot is free for guests and casino visitors alike, with no garage and no nightly parking charge. That's a genuine saving next to the paid parking now common at most Strip resorts.
