Newbie to Wendover

Going to Wendover this month out of Bellingham.

Just wondering about the following:

Apparently we get coupons when checking in? Anything great?

Any recommendations on where to eat/specials?

What kind of shopping is there? Will the shuttles take to there?

Worth renting a car and driving into Salt Lake City? Or is there a shuttle?

Any advice, greatly appreciated.

Newbie to Wendover

not many locals here to answer.

We have been to Wendover several times.

We are going this month too, but by Tour Bus.

Town only has a small shopping area, about 6 block walk from Rainbow or Peppermill.

I go answer Re: shuttles, they will take you there(tip).

When are you going?

We fly out Wed. May 20th.

Thanks for the info. We are praying for warm weather.

We will be there on May 25th.for 4 nights.

It will be warm weather... take you swim suites,if you are staying at Rainbow of Montego Bay.?

cheers

Staying at the Montego Bay. Looking forward to it.

The outdoor pool opens today.

Have fun. MB is the best of the 3 Peppermill%26#39;s. there are only 2 other casinos. Nugget across from MB and I think the Red Garter is still open?

I should mention that I was in Wendover over Easter and it was VERY slow....that may account for our ride to and from the golf course on the shuttle. I think they%26#39;d probably take you, but you may have to be patient. I didn%26#39;t see any shopping worth the trip, really.

As for coupons, you get a couple free drinks, a few buy one entree get the second free at the steakhouses, 20% off at the gift shop, and a few gambling ones that I didn%26#39;t understand b/c I don%26#39;t know squat about gambling. There may have been a small discount at the spa at the Rainbow, too.

The best food I had was at the Rainbow Steakhouse. It%26#39;s not cheap, but the quality was far superior to anything else at the Peppermill Casinos. The service was also superb. I imagine the Bimini Steakhouse at Montego Bay is similar.

For less fancy meals, I%26#39;d go across the street to the Nugget. Trino%26#39;s Tacos is like a food court stand, but it was also excellent. The restaurant across the casino floor by the hotel courtyard was also pretty good.

My food recommendations are Trino%26#39;s and a steakhouse...they%26#39;re wayyyy better than anything else I had.

There%26#39;s no shuttle to SLC, but if you search this forum you can find the name of a used car dealer that rents (S %26amp; R?). It%26#39;s in Utah, on the same side of the street as Montego Bay

The Red Garter is open, but it seemed like it was hurting while we were there. Although that could be the timing, like I said. There was a nice Craps dealer who was very patient with one of my friends (also a novice gambler)

thanks Lico, for you info.

Did you do a Tour Bus trip?or Air?

We know Wendover is Hurting along with Reno/Vegas.

cheers,Joy

We flew down. It was the first time for Peppermil or whoever to fly out of Canada. They did one out of Calgary and one out of Edmonton. We went in April and there was supposed to be a trip in May, as well. that one got cancelled, as far as I know.

They told us on the flight back that they would be flying out of Canada again, but they needed to work out a few things before they came back. They said we should look into driving into the States and flying from there.

The scuttlebut was that they didn%26#39;t have all their ducks in a row as far as fees and taxes, and we got away without paying some things we should have up here.
