For more than 30 years, my wife and I have enjoyed visiting Cactus Pete's Resort in Jackpot, Nevada once or twice each year. As we have aged, we have watched this resort grow and improve as our demand for comfort and pleasure has grown.
The hotel has large rooms with great tv's. Bathrooms are a little small but very adequate. The King bed was very solid (that means hard), but after a long day or drive, still comfortable.
The hotel registration staff are great, both efficient and quick. The casino staff really work to make you feel welcome. The staff at the main craps table are great at learning everyone's names and then using your name during the game. Not that you really want to leave too much money in the game, but, it does not hurt as much when they are so nice.
Before you look at a week long vacation in the desert, please note that Jackpot is a one and a half horse town. During the season the golf can be fun, too. But, don't look for lots of other activities or shows in this town. This resort does have periodic headliner style entertainment in their Gala Showroom. Their website is a good resource for scheduled future entertainment. Over the years, we have seen entertainers such as Moe Bandy and Willie Nelson at their venue.
Bottom line, for two or three days Cactus Pete's can be lots of fun. Longer stays can be very reasonable as their weekday hotel room rate is very affordable.
