Bodines Casino is a 24-hour, machine-focused casino on South Carson Street in Carson City, Nevada, with a restaurant, two bars, and an on-property sportsbook. Its strongest selling point is convenience: slots, video poker, a meal, and sports can fit into one straightforward stop. The trade-offs are reported smoky surroundings, mixed dining feedback, and no attached hotel. I’d put it on the list for a casual south Carson City outing, not a full resort vacation.

What kind of casino is Bodines?
Bodines is on Carson City’s south side, rather than in the downtown casino cluster. The format is simple: machine gaming, food, drinks, and sports viewing, without a hotel reservation or resort itinerary attached.
Visit Carson City describes a 30,000-square-foot casino with over 300 slot and video poker machines, two specialty bars, and underground parking. The square footage describes the casino generally, not a separately identified gaming-only floor area. Treat the machine inventory as approximate.
I think the location is an advantage if you’re already spending time in south Carson City. It is less compelling if your plan is to walk between downtown attractions and several casinos. Treat Bodines as its own stop, not an extension of a downtown walking circuit.

Slots, video poker, and casino games
The useful number is roughly 300 machines, combining slots and video poker. It is not 300 slots plus a separate video poker inventory. That gives machine players a reason to stop without suggesting the sprawling selection of a destination resort.
Individual titles, denominations, and progressive offerings can change. I wouldn’t make a special trip expecting a particular machine unless the property confirms it first.
Check the total slot wager before playing: a small denomination can still produce a sizable bet when multiple lines, credits, or optional features are involved. With video poker, read the complete pay table and check the credits required for the advertised top award. Matching game names do not necessarily mean matching returns.
Guest stories about wins or losses are not evidence that machines are loose or tight. Set your gambling budget before the session, and keep dinner and transportation money separate.
Table games
I would plan a Bodines visit around machines rather than dealer-run games. If blackjack, roulette, or craps is your reason for heading out, ask the property about current availability before making the trip. A machine-focused casino is not automatically a substitute for a live-table-game floor.
Poker room
Bodines has no dedicated player-versus-player poker room. Video poker machines are available, but they are not cash games or tournaments against other customers.
Sportsbook and sports viewing
Bodines has an on-property sportsbook, a Sports Bar, and sports-viewing televisions. That makes it a plausible choice for a wager and a game alongside a meal, rather than a sportsbook-centered vacation.
The sportsbook’s licensing history needs a distinction between operator and branding. An August 2024 Nevada Gaming Control Board recommendation specified G PEG I, LLC as the sports-pool operator and permitted Caesars Sportsbook identification as manager or service provider.
A December 2025 Board recommendation subsequently supported a race-book-and-sports-pool license for William Hill Nevada II, doing business as Caesars Sportsbook, at Bodines. These historical recommendations alone do not establish today’s counter branding or when an arrangement took effect.
For a visitor, the practical question is simpler: can you place or redeem your ticket when you arrive? Call for current sportsbook hours and ticket-redemption arrangements. A casino open all night does not necessarily have a staffed betting counter all night.
Hotel and overnight planning
Bodines has no attached hotel or on-site resort pool. For an overnight visit, book accommodation separately and include transportation in the comparison.
That is no great hardship for a short stop, but a casino hotel may be the better choice when walking upstairs after dinner matters more than the particular machine selection. If drinks are part of the evening, arrange a sober ride beforehand. Don’t assume a nearby hotel’s pool is available to people who are not staying there.
Bodines Restaurant and bar hours
Bodines has one full-service restaurant and two bars, not a collection of resort dining rooms. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guest feedback gives me more confidence in the convenience than in uniformly strong food quality.
The official restaurant page lists daily service from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a late-night Round Bar menu until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The Round Bar’s published hours vary by day:
| Venue and days | Posted hours | Service window |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant, daily | 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. | 15 hours |
| Round Bar, Monday through Thursday | 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. | 10 hours |
| Round Bar, Friday | 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. | 12 hours |
| Round Bar, Saturday | 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. | 13 hours |
| Round Bar, Sunday | 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. | 13 hours |
The practical takeaway: Monday through Thursday, the restaurant stays open later than the Round Bar. Friday and Saturday offer one additional hour of food service after the restaurant closes, but from a late-night bar menu, not the full restaurant menu. Sunday has the earliest Round Bar opening, not the latest closing. Confirm schedules before a meal-specific trip.
For an early visit, Bodines’ official website advertises breakfast from $7.99, served daily until 11 a.m. That is a starting price, not the price of every breakfast. Check eligible dishes and current terms before budgeting around it.
I’d review the current menu before deciding this is a bargain dinner stop. An old drink special or remembered meal price is not much help when the bill arrives.
Guest praise and common complaints
Available aggregated guest feedback highlights friendly, attentive service as a positive theme. For a casual local casino, an easy meal and pleasant interaction can matter more than another elaborate amenity you never use.
Food receives a less consistent reception. Some guests enjoy particular dishes, while others report disappointing breakfast items. Complaints also include rising prices and smaller portions. I would read that as disagreement about dining quality and value, not a reason to declare every meal good or bad.
Smoke is another reported drawback. Those impressions do not establish a formal smoking policy or measured air quality, but they matter if smoke exposure can spoil your outing. Ask about the restaurant, casino floor, and route between them rather than assuming one area’s rules describe the entire property.
These undated guest impressions flag possible trade-offs; they do not predict the meal or service you’ll receive on a particular day.
Parking, directions, and practical visit costs
Use 5650 S Carson Street, Carson City in your navigation app. The tourism listing places Bodines at Highway 395 and Old Clear Creek Road, south of Highway 50, and describes lighted parking with an underground garage.
The garage is useful, but don’t assume a parking price or vehicle-clearance allowance. Call first if either affects your plans.
- Bring ID: You must be at least 21 to gamble. Carry valid government-issued photo identification.
- Check service hours: Dining, bar, and sportsbook schedules are separate from casino hours.
- Plan a sober ride: Arrange transportation if you intend to drink, and allow for uncertain late-night pickup availability.
- Consider your route: Winter travel involving Tahoe or mountain roads can require extra planning.
- Ask about access needs: Confirm a suitable entrance, parking arrangement, or seating accommodation before traveling.
Budget separately for gambling, food and drinks, and transportation. Add lodging and applicable taxes and fees for an overnight stay. I’d rather see someone stop playing with dinner money intact than chase a reward that costs more than the meal.
Rewards and promotions
Ask about current players-club enrollment and benefits before your first session. Find out which games earn rewards, how offers are redeemed, and whether dining promotions have purchase requirements or expiration dates.
Use eligible benefits for a visit you already wanted to make. Don’t increase your wager or extend a losing session merely to earn points.
Our take: who should visit Bodines?
Bodines suits machine players and sports fans who want an uncomplicated south Carson City stop with a meal, drinks, and convenient parking. I’d choose it for a few hours out rather than a resort weekend, with friendly-service reports adding to its appeal. Dining feedback is divided on quality and value, and smoky surroundings are a reported drawback. Visitors who prioritize clean air, reliably strong dining, or the convenience of an attached hotel should look elsewhere.
