Arizona Charlie’s Showing Vegas Locals Love For 24th Anniversary

Arizona Charlie's is celebrating the 24th anniversary of their Boulder location this month. And they want to give the gifts to the locals that helped them make it this far. They're holding a day-long celebration on May 24, 2024 and inviting the community to the party.

The original Arizona Charlie's location opened on Decatur Boulevard in 1988, per all-chips.com. They quickly became a favorite place for locals to gamble, and have paid out large jackpots to Las Vegas residents over the years.

The hotel and casino is also a place known for their bingo. Arizona Charlie's was recognized as the silver “Best Bingo” by Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas 2023. They still hold daily bingo sessions in their award-winning bingo halls that are a favorite pastime for locals. They were also named the Best of Las Vegas silver winner for "Best Prices" and "Best Payouts" in 2023.

Their "locals serving locals” motto is another part of the reason Arizona Charlie's has been so loved in the community for so long. And now the Boulder location is inviting those locals out to their anniversary celebration on May 24.

The celebration will begin at 10 a.m. with complimentary champagne and cake to local guests and casino visitors. That will be available until 8 p.m. near the Sourdough Cafe at Arizona Charlie's Boulder. There's even more planned for the casino's "True Rewards" program players. Who will receive a special edition bottle of Albrecht Cremant Brut if they earn 300 or more same day base slot points. That free bottle will be available for pick up beginning at 9 a.m.

Guests who want to enjoy the festivities all day are invited to play bingo at one of their hourly sessions between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. The 1 p.m. session will be extra special, as it will give players the chance to be one of 24 players to win up to $50 in free slot or bingo play. 

Slot tournaments will be held, for those who prefer their play at the machines. Those will go from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. with a chance to win up to $1,000 in free slot play. True Rewards Epic members and players who earn 100 same-day slot points will be eligible for even more prizes.

After the day of festivities, guests can enjoy a dueling piano show inside Palace Grand Lounge that will kick off at 6 p.m. Followed at 9 p.m. by high-energy, top-40 music from band Front Page. They cover all your favorite hits from the 70's to now.

If you can't make it to the anniversary celebration, Arizona Charlie's Boulder has slot tournaments, live music and bingo sessions throughout the year. You can get more info at www.arizonacharliesboulder.com.

Are those Vegas casinos getting the best of you? Well, maybe you're just not picking the right ones to gamble at. A new study has revealed the luckiest casino in Las Vegas, and you might want to check it out next time you've got some extra playing money.

Many casinos try to get gamblers in their doors with big promises of winning. Phrases like "big jackpot" and "loose slots" have become common place on those billboards you see on the Nevada freeways. And not much time goes by before there's another headline about a tourist landing a jackpot in Las Vegas.

Usually it's just dumb luck when someone wins at a Vegas casino, but there's a new study out that suggests there might be a little more skill than we previously thought. And that skill might come even before a player sits down at their first table. The casino they choose to play at in Vegas matters too.

At least according to this study posted on casino.org. Which involved gathering information from TripAdvisor to compile a list of casinos people seem to win at the most.

The study collected 2,867 reviews in November 2023 that included words like won, lucky and jackpot. They then researched where the reviewers won and compiled a list of casinos in Vegas that produced the most winners.

Now, while this is not a complete list of everyone who has won or lost in a Vegas casino, it gives interesting insight. Specifically when it comes to which Vegas casinos have been the luckiest for TripAdvisor users. And which have been downright busts.

According to the study, the most unlucky Vegas casino is Resorts World. With only 0.78% of reviewers saying they had any luck playing there.

Next unluckiest was Wynn Las Vegas, with only 1.72% of reviewers having success. STRAT, Planet Hollywood, and Luxor also fell into the bottom five. All with less than 3.52% of reviewers saying they got lucky.

Falling in the middle at neither luckiest nor unluckiest were the casinos at Mandalay Bay, New York New York, and Bellagio. They all had less than 4% of reviewers getting lucky at their tables.

Those are some big names on the Las Vegas Strip. And it may just be that more players means a lower average of winners. But, according to these reviews, these casinos are the ones you want to play at if you want to get lucky in Vegas.

According to the study, 4.13% of TripAdvisor reviewers had luck at Caesars Palace. And they weren't just talking about finding great food in the Forum Shops.

It's not just beautiful views you'll get inside the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. According to 4.36% of reviewers, you'll also get lucky in the casino.

If you're feeling a little on the fancy side, try your hand at the Aria. It might land you some winnings, according to 5.55% of reviews.

You don't have to go to Madame Tussauds to see a celebrity. 5.92% of reviewers say you have a chance to feel like one when you play at Venetian.

And the luckiest casino in Las Vegas, according to experiences of TripAdvisor reviewers, is the Mirage. 6.03% of the 2,867 reviews indicated having luck there. Might be worth a visit on your next gambling trip!
