  Ive been visiting Cactus Pete's for years. Just got back from weekend today. The experience keeps getting worse and worse! You can gamble but there is absolutely no where in the casino you can eat! Kind of part of the experience don't you think. They are currently offering an overpriced what they call "Buffet". It is definitely not worth the price and is seriously the only option in the casino. Who wants that twice a day? Trust me you don't! I would hold off going there until they get it together. If the casino between boise and twin actually happens ,Pete's will absolutely go under! Don't treat the people that made you like this! Don't bite the hand that feeds you! Soooo disappointed!

  The rooms were clean and staff is quiet friendly. Check-in is a fast process. We have stayed at the casino several times and been quite satisfied. This time, the Desert Room was closed for remodeling and we had no other option but to go the casino's buffet for dinner. Totally disappointed. The dinner price was overpriced for the choices of foods and the quality of food was poor. The food was lukewarm and bland. We tried the buffet for breakfast. Again it was going to be overpriced but the only choice we had before a long trip. The buffet was supposed to open at 7:00 AM, but after 15 minutes, it still wasn't open. The staff was still setting out food. We didn't have time to wait and needed to get on the road. No breakfast for our group.

  Great value! It is a good place to stop halfway between Seattle and Phoenix. My non-smoking room was clean and smelled fresh. I could tell that they had done some updates recently. Dinner was okay and there was a nice area for a short evening walk. Update: Our 2nd stay was equally good. Consistency is important, so I am going to up my rating to 5 stars

  I've been coming here for 24 yrs and it's going downhill so bad. They keep giving me free rooms and I keep thinking maybe it'll be better this time but it never is. I hate this hotel and casino. Terrible customer service and attitudes, garbage food, dated rooms and terrible lighting. Especially in the granite rooms. Save your money. If you're coming from Boise, it takes the same amount of time to fly to Vegas as it does to drive to Jackpot and you have much better options.

  Cactus Pete’s interior feels dated and worn, particularly in the tower rooms. The non-smoking floors and rooms smell strongly of cigarettes. We dined at the Desert Room, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was poor. Our waiter took our order and didn’t return until delivering the food. Several items we’d requested were missing, and despite waiting another 20 minutes after finishing our meal, he never came back to check on us. While sitting there, I noticed other diners also appeared frustrated with their food or service. This wasn’t due to being short-staffed — I counted two bussers, four servers, and two hostesses. As for the meal itself, I ordered the Cuban sandwich. It came on a French roll with just a couple of slices of ham, cheese, and pickles, and appeared to have been pressed with an iron. It lacked both flavor and presentation. When we finally went to the front desk to pay, our waiter suddenly reappeared, saying with a snarky tone that there was “no point” in paying there since he was our cashier. The entire exchange summed up the experience — unprofessional and unpleasant. We chose to have breakfast elsewhere the next morning. I won’t be returning until significant improvements are made.
