Great spot for some relaxing time with friends while enjoying some Nevada wines. Happily surprised about the great tasting wines as well as wonderful service from very knowledgeable staff. Sidney and Vetty laughed with us and shared the back stories on each wine. Certainly planning to bring my visiting friends here next.
Loved this place. Lovely both outside & inside. The staff were so friendly & helpful. Answered all of my wine & non-wine related questions. Some of the best wine I've ever had. Only downside - they don't ship.
Highly recommended for those looking for a high class, but down to earth relaxing, personal tasting experience with Nevada wines. Had the chocolate pairing and white wine tasting. Purchase the symphony wine as it is perfect for a hot night around the pool with friends.
We had a very enjoyable afternoon here. The tasting room was welcoming and cozy, the wines were delicious. Our tasting host, Sydni, was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun! We are staying at Wine Ridge RV and Cottages (a very nice place BTW), so no drinking and driving. Oh, did I mention the wines were delicious? 😊
First visit and was absolutely impressed! Super clean, friendly staff, great wine flight options, and tasty snacks from Amari that paired perfectly. So much so, that we are incorporating their sangrias into our vegas wedding reception! Kayla was amazing and we can’t wait to come back!
WOW what an amazing experience the wines were excellent and the knowledge and personal attention to each customer and wine was amazing. Best in Nevada 💕
What a great local winery 🍷 we had a private birthday event for our close friend Camilla! Great wine tasting & delicious bites!
Went there today.. and everything was wonderfull.. the best service ever.. great selection of wine, and the best staff I have seen in pahrump..and the best wine in pahrump.. can't wait to return...Thank you for such a great time during out afternoon visit...

Had a great lunch here. We weren't sure where to eat so we decided here. Definitely not disappointed. Our waitress was great (didn't get her name). The food was plentiful for your money. We even got our granddaughter to try something new.
For the record, I have stayed in 5 star hotels and many Vegas dives. I expected not to like this hotel and I was not disappointed! Smells awful from the moment you enter. Keys did not work. Three times. Had to ask security the third time (Thank you Miles) to assist as it was getting silly. Room was somewhat clean. Bathroom was not! The staff I encountered was nice and friendly. Cannot be easy to work--or live--in Pahrump! Very rude drivers to anyone with a California license plate, so I am now told. But, Stockman's Steakhouse was a hit! Wonderful ambience, super fun staff, excellent food! I did play a little Friday night and the casino is super small, but I got on what I wanted to play. No one expects to win, I sure didn't. But there was no playback at all. After about $900 I gave up. No fun to just keep feeding money and not even a small line hit. Overall, not sure why I got a player's card and did not like they photograph, on some phone, front and back of your ID. Not necessary and didn't like that part. I likely would try just about anywhere else if I had the need to stay overnight again. Sorry
My party checked in twice in a 2 day span. We were greated both times by Stacie. She was so kind and helpful . The 2nd night we checked in I was going through an emergency/crisis and was overwhelmed and exhausted. She pretty much held my hand, calmed me down and helped me through it. I cannot begin to express how much it meant to us. She went above and beyond. She didn't have too but she did out of the kindness of her heart. To me, that is excellent customer service. And a wonderful person Thank you Stacie for all your help! We will definitely stay here again when we're back in town
They have decent rooms and it’s a good hotel for it’s location and they have good food options for a good price and I like the fact they have a sports book but there tables are run terribly, the pit boss was aggressive towards the players when the dealer made mistakes which happened 3 times and they would change table limits from 5 to 25 and they would say you only have one hand to play then they would change back down to 5 like 10 min later. Overall tho this is a good casino for adults and they have things to do for kids like the bowling alley but they need new management for running their tables, it’s the worst I’ve ever seen.
If i could give 0 stars I would. Went to eat before bowling with the kids. Restaurant had maybe a total of 6 people in it. Was told it would be a 5 minute wait said okiedokie no problem. 8 minutes later was told the waitress went on smoke break and she would seat us after she was done. Shitty customer service no wonder there was no one in the restaurant who ever worked June 26 between 720 and 750 yall suck and should not be waitresses. Like why not seat us get drinks then smoke. I would totally understand if they were packed and they needed a break but the place was dead.
Scam alert ! They charge resort fee twice. I explained mutiple times I had paid resort fee along with room rate but thry completely ignored me. Funny thing is they still sell rooms including resort fee on Agoda
This is a return to Nevada of the 70s. It feels old and looks old and frankly caters to a crowd who does not care that it looks and feels old. If you want that, go and enjoy. If you want better, go elsewhere. It could be, pardon my pun, a gold mine, with renovations and be a huge draw if they thought about becoming smoking free rather than circulating the ashtray air over and over as it is. The sad thing is the steakhouse inside is decent but you have to deal with the smoke, so it is not worth it.
We had a good one night stay after exploring Death Valley and before heading to Vegas. The location is convenient, just outside the park, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean, spacious, and the bed was very comfy. There’s a small casino on site and a few dining options nearby, making it a solid and easy stopover in the area.

Get gas,get your free Fanta pineapple soda. Yum!
Only cashier is the mid shift cashier, possibly Hispanic or Hawaiian with a tattoo on the upper right side of her face. Absolutely refuses to accept a coupon with the store address on it. She is the only person working there who puts up a fuss. Every other rep that they have has honored these coupons for at least a year and a half. When I asked her how I reach corporate to file a complaint, as I am aware they get a kickback because of the coupon program via Altria, she claims to have no such number and no sense of information in order for a customer to file a complaint. Buck stops with her and they will no longer get my business. This is fraud they're double dipping and getting Kickbacks to accept coupons that they are refusing at the counter.
Nice little casino if visiting Pahrump. Good food in the restaurant. Reasonably priced and huge portions. Only complaint is that it's too smokey (even by casino standards).
The gas prices are outrageous but I often get my beer & wine at a decent price. It's also nice that they carry some fresh produce
Pricier on gas but the store is always well stocked and the clerks are always very friendly.
Wow 5:45 am. 3 employees in the store had a line of about 4 customers and thay said we need to wait on shift Changing thay can not open 2nd register get it together!
Slow service I think I aged 10 years waiting to pay for my items, Gas was higher here then other locations in town and I think that is due to the RV park.
It too crowded cluttered with product. Wish they had more diet drinks verity

This is the original winery in Pahrump and in my opinion, it's a must stop if you're visiting the area to do some tasting. The history of this place and how they got started is a story that is well told by the staff and they offer a nice sampling of wines that you can try as well as mixed drinks. I do see that they are listed as "temporarily closed" and I do hope it's just a seasonal thing because my wife and I always enjoyed coming here.
Great service and very nice staff. Pet friendly, and they have a variety of wines to choose from. It was open during the summer, but now it says temporarily closed. Hopefully, they reopen. Prices for wine tasting are reasonable, too!
We loved our visit at the Sanders Family Winery! We were offered 9 free wine tasting (9oz).Their Cabernet has a cayenne pepper aroma that fills up nostrils yielding a unique oenological experience. So we bought a case. They also have a "Serenity" rose which most people love because it appeals to most white and red wine fans. Jim the owner shared with us the winery background, a remarkable man BTW, who got involved with state politics so wine may be sold direct from wineries to consumers. Super friendly and helpful staff who invited us to come back soon. Tip: Bring your own food and friends (they don't have a kitchen) and plan your private event there. 😀
Loved this little winery off the beaten path! They were so kind and the wine was delicious! We bought a bottle of Harmony and a bottle of the Cabernet. The cabernet was to make their specialty drink, the “Red Ginger”. It was so delicious! The perfect summer drink for evenings camping! Highly recommended!
How can anyone even say that they dislike a free wine tasting session. Anything free, especially this far out of the city, and when the folks here are absolute angels, should definitely be called out. The grandeur of the entrance definitely was not something that I'd expect, this far out of the city. Dropped in here on our way to Death Valley for their wine tasting, and went through a list of 9-10 sparkling, red, and white wines. The drinks just kept flowing. Taste profiles of the wines are alright, nothing compared to those you find in Napa Valley; but let's also not forget that their bottles costs about 10-15USD here, where a normal bottle of Napa may set you 3-5x back.
Delicious wine and wonderful service! Their wines are delicious and very approachable. Not stuffy or pretentious at all. So affordable that I went home with three bottles! On our way out we saw them setting up for a wedding later that day. 💕 Highly recommend!!
A wonderful place to stop for some good wine. You can sample the various wines amongst others. Speaking with the owner, he was very personable and knowledgeable. Fascinating to talk to. Just ask about his pre-retirement jobs. IF you’re a boomer, memories will return. I’m not a wine connoisseur. I don’t go by wine names, but flavors and there were a couple of wines I really found enjoyable. The final sample was a red wine, ginger ale, and a bit of lime. This is also a ‘Harvest Host’ location. You can park most any place on the property. Plenty of space. We purchased a couple of bottles of wine and a couple of their glasses. Should we return, we will stop here again and purchase more. Nice restrooms, nice shop and good people. Enjoy!
I had an amazing time at sanders family winery. I booked a hot air balloon experience and it came along with the perks. Doug, the pilot was very friendly, charismatic, charming, polite and very professional as well as everyone I met at the winery. The balloon ride was smooth and I enjoyed the breakfast and wine tastings. I also got a complimentary wine with my name printed on it. The only downside for me was the location. It was an hr drive from the strip where I was lodged but when Doug realized I paid about $100 to pahrump, he offered to drop me off back at my hotel. It was a pleasurable experience and I highly recommend.

Really cool place! They have a room with a model train display featuring the historic RR towns of the area. Very kind and helpful director.
I love these types of Museums. There is nothing fancy but you can tell someone who really loves the history of the local area took the time to set everything up. There is a little of everything. From the history of the cotton fields, to the geological rocks in the area and too the Nuclear tests done at the ranges. There is a small train exhibit that is VERY detailed. This place is not huge, so you can be in and out in an hour. Admission is free, but they have a donation box. Drop a few dollars in to help them out. This is not spectacular, but it is an absolute must do when in town.
Very nice local museum. SO much stuff to look at!! From cotton farming, mining, atomic bomb info, yucca mountain... The nice lady (didn't get her name) was very knowledgeable about Nevada/Pahrump history and was able to answer all of my questions. Highly recommend a visit!!
Wonderful community museum - the volunteers were particularly proud of their recent acquisition of the original guard shack from the entrance to Area 51. The museum strangely lacked any mention of the social clubs, civic leagues, and fraternities that many similar small town museums feature (which seemed particularly strange given the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution were dedicating a national 250th monument the day we attended).
I had a great visit at this little museum in Pahrump. Fantastic garden outside had no idea Pahrump grew cotton in the 50's and 60s! WOW! So much cool stuff! Really enjoyed the self guides tour and all the saved and fixed up buildings. The general store is by far my favorite, a lot of work went into restoring that! LOVE IT! Highly recommend this place for any history nerd/tourist/museum buff.
We were happy to see the building was a decent size so we knew there would be lots to see. There are bronze sculptures out in the front as you walk to the front door. Someone greets you as you come in and there is a register book to sign in stating your name and city of origin. They have alot of information about the cotton industry that was a big thing up into the 1970's and the agriculture of the area during the mining for the war effort. There is also a room that is about the nuclear history in the area which is called the atomic room. Lots of visual representations that help explain a dark part of history. They accept donations as a way to stay open so please throw something in the pot to keep these great little treasures open for everyone to see.
Went too the Northern Lights Laser Light Show on 10/25/25. Fantastic show. Really need too see it again the next time it play's again.
This place was awesome! I loved everything that was on display and the old buildings outside were fun to look at. Even being able to walk through them was enjoyable. I know when we have friends visit from out of state we’ll bring them here! And the train room was fun too, I can’t wait to go back and see it once it’s finished.

Love this Casino. My mother loved to eat here and gamble, I believe this was he favorite place to go. Staff is friendly, service is good. The food was also vey good and at decent prices. I did not stay in a room, my mother lived locally.
I have only been 8n the casino and restaurant. I took some out of town friends there. BIG mistake. We went to the bar, waited for a bartender to order some drinks. She was too busy watching TV to wait on any one. Soon there was 2 bartenders, both were watching TV. We were there for 1 hour, we got 1 beer, and we were totally overlooked for another. So, we left to go to the Roadhouse. No more Sad Saddle west.
They say “home of the feasting and winning” but in reality you walk in with $200 your leaving with depression. You don’t get anything for free play and if you do it’s maybe $5 if you’re lucky. Everytime I go it’s a ghost town now. This place used to be very popular. But you don’t win anything, taking a loss once in a while is one thing but everytime you go in you can’t even last longer then 10 mins with $100. They also shut machines down where the jackpots are very high and turn them back on and the jackpot is back to the start. That should be illegal in my opinion but we’re in pahrump where nothing gets done. I wouldn’t waste a dollar here if I were you. Heed my warning.
Worst hotel I have ever stayed in! Wish I could give negative stars. When we arrived to check in, there was nobody at the desk & there was a sign saying they'd be back in 20 minutes. That feels like a long time to wait when you've been traveling all day. When she finally returned she was rude and asked very personal questions (as part of the check in), that I've never been asked at a hotel before. She also wanted the driver's licenses of the family members traveling with me, which has never happened to me before. We got settled in, then went to dinner. When we returned, there was a cockroach running around by the beds. By then it was too late to do anything but stay the night. After that, we realized the lock on the door did not lock properly. We planned on staying two nights, but definitely checked out the next morning - we didn't even care where we were going to stay - we just knew it couldn't be there. The beds were uncomfortable, the room was outdated, and the sheets felt like paper. There were no blankets on the beds. The next morning when I told her we were checking out, not staying the second night, and that there was a cockroach in our room, she did not seem surprised or even pretend to care. She just kind of shrugged her shoulders and said she'd get maintenance to spray, like it was no big deal. It was a very big deal to us.
The rooms are dated, but were clean. Swimming pool was dirty. The casino is small and the days we we there it was empty. The bartender was friendly. But she was tending at the and getting drinks for the people in the casino. The restaurant was not good. Overpriced and the food is not good. The breakfast buffet was horrible. The only positive was they had an omelet station, and the guy doing the omelets was very polite and friendly. I gave this place 3 stars but because of the staff. They were friendly and helpful. But as a hotel casino its a 2 star at best
Pretty good for the price. Not enough towels. Reasonably clean. Found a penny on the floor! Beds were much too soft for me. Had the breakfast buffet. It was okay. Had all the basics. Nothing was terrific. Coffee was poor.
I enjoyed my stay. The rooms were nice, large and clean. Also very quiet, once in the room I never heard anything, no traffic noise, no casino noise nothing at all. That made for some very good sleep.
I keep hearing on the radio your breakfast buffet is homemade far from that! The only thing homemade is the omelette’s if you choose to get scrambled eggs with a stuff added to it! Lazy way of making a real one! Your ham taste like cardboard, the eggs are not real mixed carton stuff! Gravy is definitely bought in bulk somewhere! The best on your buffet is the fruit! 2 and done for me! Plus the servers assume you want a buffet and you don’t see them again until they bring a bill! I didn’t want the nasty buffet but opted for it after waiting 15 min for someone to take my order! False advertisement!

Marcy is the best! She's always very cheerful and a fabulous bartender. She's a real sweetheart. You need to give her a big raise. She makes me a very delicious drink with Captain Morgan, orange juice and other ingredients that are unknown. Everyone there is so friendly and nice and helpful.
Small locals casino. It was very quiet and slow. Nice location.
BINGO CLOSED & RESTAURANT CLOSING! We used to LOVE playing bingo in their small friendly bingo hall. We used to LOVE eating in their great home-style foody restaurant, too! So sad to see the current state of this long-time establishment...
We were going with all the intention of playing in this casino but unfortunately the attitude of the guard was not very pleasant we arrived and at the entrance he was taking photos when he told me that he could not do something that seemed strange to me because there was no sign where he said not to take photos because I always used to take photos in the places I frequent, apart from it was empty I will…. No photos were taken of the machines and the attitude of the guard was too pedantic in addition it was only photos of the landscape that caught my attention I never captured a machine the person told me or photos inside the place and we were very excited entering...
This is the place you come to right before you die. 16 machines doesn’t comp you for worthwhile liquor. Wouldn’t waste your money here, go across the street to the nugget
Nice little casino, thr only place with sports betting kiosk in pahrump i believe
Great experience! Wonderful place to go, not too smoky in the morning.
Mr. Tater shack is absolutely amazing... we started eating before I took the pictures. Yummy BBQ chicken potato skins and Poutine fries.😋😋
