Jim Kelley's Nugget — Attraction in Nevada

Jim Kelly’s Nugget in Kings Beach is where optimism comes to get mugged under sputtering neon and the lingering perfume of stale smoke. The slots hum like a busted fridge, lulling you into submission, and the carpet looks like it lost the will to live sometime around the Reagan administration.

I asked if it was the type of burger I ordered that caused the delay and was told no but there were “lots of orders”...

Wow just wow (food wise this is not a review of casino itself) usually when i go to eat and see something with a single burger around 12$+ i just know I'm gonna be ripped off but no the burgers here we're genuinely good the price felt worth it, not to mention the Tacos were genuine Mexican tacos even my mother was surprised when she realized a white guy cooked them since he really captured the Mexican spirit in tacos and salsa overall u will be back when...
