Rainbow/Emerald Island are always the best. Thank You LVA for the coupons and opening our horizons to better value. And with the on line BLVD bar $25 coupon play and in walking distance of Rainbow. Downtown Henderson EV just gets better. 

I really liked Rainbow. For sure go back next visit. Restaurant

It appears those rooms can be comped via play at the Pass; if only their video poker was better 🤷

Right now it seems like the most viable options for having a Henderson-centric comped stay are Boulder Station or Sam's Town; the other options either have meh-at-best video poker (Arizona Charlie's Boulder, Longhorn, Pass) and/or don't comp rooms (I'm pretty sure this applies to Skyline... one might be able to pay for a room with points, but how dare they ask I spend points on anything but freeplay... harrumph 😤😜) 🧐

Agree.  I have done this before.  Sam's Town seems to be quite generous on comped rooms and I find their rooms to be quite nice.  Food options aren't the greatest and they have ditched their shuttle. 

I have done the bus down to EI/Rainbow a few times.  Pretty easy straight shot over.  If you want to be dropped off near EI/Rainbow make sure you get that bus variant, otherwise you have to hoof it a bit over to the Water Street area.

The base rates at Atwell for a single room, midweek, are well over $100.
