If you are looking for a fancy place move along. What this place is, is GREAT!! Clean well maintained rooms. Not fancy but everything you need. Very short walk to the strip. The village pub serves great well priced food with amazing specials. (Try the prime rib, fish and chips, 9.99 steak special and the steak and egg breakfast) The staff is super friendly. This is the Vegas we used to have but sadly is gone from the strip resorts. Loved it!!!

One of my favorite spots in Vegas—it's starting to feel like home. They go out of their way to make the Judo Family feel truly welcomed, and every visit is a great time. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and clearly well cared for—you can tell they take pride in their housekeeping. Nick stands out every time. He’s always on the move around the casino, sharply dressed, smiling, and genuinely attentive to guests. He really looks out for everyone. And the food? Always delicious! I’ve only had positive experiences here. This place continues to impress.

Went to Village Pub for lunch with my son on 7/26/25. It was packed and very noisy. My sons burger was great. My chicken wings were good but they were soaked in grease. service was very, very slow......... Need to hire more people and maybe put partitions in between the room to lower noise. It was difficult to have a conversation. Front Yard was noisy and crowded too. At least you had good business!

The dive bar of casinos! I loved it! Very small but still has all the games you're looking for. 5 dollar table for craps. While there it was going through a renovation so lots of construction. I didn't eat here but everyone kept saying the food was really good. If you want the feel of being at Walmart but while gambling on the cheapest tables, Las Vegas strip adjacent, then this is definitely the spot for you!

I had an amazing experience during my stay, and I want to give a special shout-out to Adam at the front desk. From the moment I arrived, Adam went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. His professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly attitude truly set the tone for my entire visit. It’s rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and genuinely cares about guests. Adam is a true asset to the team — a five-star experience thanks to him!

Lots of construction 🚧 going on by casino and restaurants. Not too far off strip, so location was convenient enough. Quick taxi/ uber from airport, and they arrived for return pick up quickly. Cheap taxi to Sphere, but walkable if you want. The rooms could use updating and better cleaning. The carpet was disgusting and there was candy smashed and stuck on it. The air conditioner was a bit loud, but it worked. The bathroom was tiny, a little maneuvering to shut door, and the sink was not inside of it, just a small single basin right outside. The front desk always seemed a bit busy most times and overwhelmed, which made them seem a bit rude. The phone in room did not work and had to walk (kind of a hike) to front desk to ask for things. Both the elevator and the hot tub were also not working during my visit. At least the area wasn't very sketchy.

I came here with my aunt, uncle and mom to play in the casino and to eat at the restaurant. I got a picture taken here with a wrestling display of a ring and the wwe world heavyweight championship title. Which was cool. But when I started to play the casino I started off on a loosing streak. Then when i played the quick hit machine they have here I started to win a little bit. I got 25 dollars out of the machine. We then went to eat inside the restaurant that they have here. The food was great and the drinks were good as well. When we got here we noticed that this place is renovating it to make it look nicer and upgrading this place. They are putting new rooms, a bigger casino and they are making a bigger restaurant as well. The location of this place is not really in a good place. Because right down the street from here 2 pac got shot down and murdered. They have a big parking lot with handicap parking . The staff were nice,

I came here with my partner to celebrate my birthday. I was excited to bring my partner here because of the fun atmosphere that I had experienced in previous visits to the casino in past years. A friend had shown me the place when I was staying at a different hotel on the strip and I was attracted to the cheap food and quality food. The steak and egg breakfast and the bloody Mary's are a bargain. So when I was deciding which hotel to stay at on this trip I wanted to stay here for the value and the location. We ran into a problem this trip because the person at the front desk told us some blatantly wrong information that led to security reprimanding us for doing something the front desk told us was 100% ok to do and then when we told them we were under a different impression they accused us of lying and said no one would ever have told us otherwise, even tho the front desk had told us otherwise. We had even asked the front desk person twice since we were surprised that he had told us it was ok in the first place just to make sure we had heard it correctly the first time. After telling the lead security person on shift and speaking with the night staff at the front desk, and having to speak over them to tell them all this since they just wanted to tell us we were wrong but not hear us out, we spoke with someone on shift at the hotel and left a night early and booked a stay somewhere else. We felt that the misunderstanding was handled poorly by their security guards and the front desk person really set us up for this even if it was unintentional on their end to do so. A simple apology would have been better than acting like we were trying to get away something we thought was perfectly acceptable. We dont want to give them any more money and will take our business elsewhere moving forward. They really left a poor impression this time.

Off the beaten path, and a well kept secret. Ellis has expanded over the years, but never lets you down. Amazing tap selection, fair price point, no frills Joint. They've got gambling tables, slots, a food restaurant and now an expanded area for Watching sports. Full bar too friends, get whatever libation does the trick! Service is always friendly and cool for all you kool cats out there.

Giving an extra star for service. Our waiter was great. We were excited to come here because the concierge said it was the best steak and eggs in Las Vegas. It's under construction so it took us a minute to find it....no biggie. When we ordered we got 2 1968 cocktails and two beers. 1968 is supposed to be bourbon and orange kind of like an old fashioned. This tasted like bourbon and water....terrible! The beer was good, they have a microbrewery on site. Now for the food....the steak was TOUGH. And I mean TOUGH....barely was able to cut it! The eggs and potatoes were terrible too....the only thing that was good was the toast. Very crispy and thick....so what does that say that the steak and eggs were terrible but the toast was the best thing?

Commenting solely on the restaurant. From what I hear, the portions and prices have changed (smaller steak, and higher prices). Steak & eggs $14.99. It's not on the menu, but well known. The steak is decent, but came with multiple pieces of tendon. No issues with the eggs. Hoping their Ellis Island rootbeer would taste different but it wasn't special. The casino with smoking bleeds into the restaurant. The waitress was nice but soooooo slow. We took forever to just get our order and whenever we wanted anything it was impossible to flag anyone down. A busboy had to just give us the whole coffee pot because that was the only person we could contact. Is the food cheap. Yes. Is the food great for it's price. Yes. However, service will be slower than molasses and not the cleanest of locations. Decent option for minimal pricing.

1 of 2 reviews. Quality/Quantity - Yes, a "me" day! My wife and daughter went to CES (I quit, I do not enjoy the event any more). Last year I spent it at the sports bar and had TOOOOOO much fun... This year, I will be good. Ellis Island Brewery has been on my list to visit for years... Out of all the restaurants here, The Front Yard is my favorite. BTW - The casino is going through a remodel; see pictures. Today I got the following at The Front Yard: Brisket Sliders - Not bad, but not good. I prefer my brisket medium rare, this was very well done, disguised in extra sauce... The flavor and quantity was okay. Probably will not order them again. And of course, a flight of beer to wash it all down: Little Foot Amber Ale - Of course, my current go to beer. Black Hill Schwarzbier - Not usually a dark drinker, but this was not bad, not too harsh. Cold Hearted Women Love IPA - So did this cold hearted man, lol. Mas Fuego Rauchbier - BBQ aroma, complimented the sliders perfectly. In summary, come here for the beer, I might skip the food next time. Well, if I try other dishes, I will update it. Brunch, happy hour, etc. menus also available. Atmosphere - Under remodel and about time. Looks very dated. See pictures. Not easy in and out, good thing you had signs and a friendly security guard because I almost gave up. Free parking. One block or so from the strip, easy walk. I actually like the quieter atmosphere. Front Yard: Love the huge indoor/outdoor space, see pictures. Plenty of bar and table seating. TVs for entertainment, of course for sports. Gaming available, but not today. Well I am sure they have gaming if you sat at the bar. Love the modern restrooms and the outside sinks, see pictures. Events, Mega Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, watch parties, games, live music, extended HH, etc; see website Just noticed on your website that you are two stories...? 350 capacity. Service - N/A, self service. Well I guess 4 stars for the friendly security guard. Price - $25 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1968. On my next trip, I will bring my buddies for your beer (and maybe food).

Ellis Island Restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Tucked inside a small off-the-strip casino, this place serves some of the best prime rib I've ever had. The meat is cooked to perfection, flavorful, and the portion size is HUGE--honestly, one plate is more than enough for two people to share. It's an amazing deal, especially considering the quality of the food. The garlic green beans that come with the prime rib are absolutely delicious too--fresh, garlicky, and the perfect side dish. If you're looking for incredible food, great value, and a low-key spot away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip, Ellis Island Restaurant is the place to go. Highly recommend!

The food, although looks good and is plated nicely, is underwhelming in flavor and taste. Chicken fried chicken was slightly tendon-y. I didn't finish. The steak texture was soft and sherry like a cheap peice of meat. Toast was coated in the oily fake margarine/butter substitute in the kitchen. Soon as I bit it my lips were greasy. We don't even like eggs but the eggs were the best thing in both plates. Our potatoes could've been better if half of them weren't fresh and half of them very old, like they'd been sitting, and mixed in with fresh ones. This place has always been busy and packed. There's always filled tables and the casino is right in the next room. It's clear they've done upgrades to the casino. But the food quality has gone down in the last couple of years. We don't come much anymore, this is why. We had a taste for steak and eggs and remembered their special, which has gone up like $6 bucks in price. We took a picture of how much food we had left over. Oh yes, the pancake was okay. The service was fast but meh. All in all the experience was... meh.

Tucked inside Ellis Island is *The Village Pub*, a cozy gem that's clearly a local favorite. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming server who guided us through their menu of classic comfort food. I'm usually pretty particular about fish and chips, but when I heard it was one of their specialties--and a fan favorite--I couldn't resist. Let me tell you, it did *not* disappoint! Perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, it was hands-down some of the best I've had. My son went for the chicken fried steak, and it was just as impressive. The gravy was rich and flavorful, and the dish came with a cup of their hearty chili--which honestly could've been a full meal on its own. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm visiting my son, who's now a proud local. *The Village Pub* has earned a spot on my must-visit list!

Absolutely outstanding. Can't beat the value for the money..: it's divey but has so much charm. Gonna be a new must go for me every time I'm in Vegas. Everything on my plate was well seasoned and tasted great, and the best part was food for three here easily matched the price of food for just one on the strip! Plus they've got karaoke!

Been a few years since we ate here. Place is under major construction, but the food, service and the atmosphere is still excellent! We had the fish and chips again and they were cooked to perfection and we left with full tummies!!

One of my favorite Vegas spots we always happen for a quick bite to eat have a great prime rib deal as long as you're a member to the casino which we are we have a club card Staff can be so so depending on the day in the hour you go however we have to keep in mind. It's Vegas. Like mini older casinos it's a darker atmosphere. Definitely a lot of smoke so if you can't breathe well don't go in. Very laid-back casual atmosphere come as you are

House Beef Steak with baked potato & string beans is my all time favorite dish. Fish and Chips are always welcomed in a hungry stomach and if you miss your noodles they got Pasta dishes too. You want Pizza, no problem they make it fresh on the spot for you too. Brews served cold only, will delight your party. Head on to the Brewery section & order BBQ which is the King of eats here! You want to Gamble? Me too I like their roulette table at $15 minimum. There's plenty of Casino machines & BBQ for all! Parking is free & always available.

Came here for some food and drinks. Hotel is under construction so there is that. We've not been back since they built The Front Yard. It was really nice being there. Bar that had great, REASONABLY PRICED drinks, good beer and lots of televisions that had the football games on. Bartenders were really nice. The place was lively and also had karaoke going on. We had been here a few years back to have prime rib and that was our goal this trip. It was not packed so we were seated fairly quickly. That was the only thing that was quick. The service/food quality is why I say it was 3 stars. Service was slow and food was slower to come out. We order a couple cocktails and those were long gone by the time the food came out. The waiter was not that friendly...not rude, or mean, just not attentive. Ok, whatever, we were chatting it up. Food. For the amount of time it took to get the food - you'd think it was really hot. It was lukewarm at best but we were so hungry, we ate it before it got cold. I got the steak and shrimp, cooked like I requested & good over all flavor but it was all the difference between 5 & 3/4 stars especially because the price is really good for steak/prime rib dinners. Bummer but I would still come back to give it one more shot.

Ok hear me out, if no one told you Vegas is kinda expensive. I think most people know st80ÿso it's good to find a place that isn't as expensive and still good. This place is it! The people are great and the service was excellent. I went twice during my visit in Vegas. I went at 3 am one day and again at 8 am and I enjoyed both times. The food was good and it was a great value for the amount of food I recieved. I defdefinitely would recommend. The best part is this place is also a brevery as well. The brewery has a good selection with various IPA's and seasonal beers.

They are remodeling the area but we had their bbq ribs and half a bbq chicken. The ribs were flavorful and tender off the bone. Loved the Cole slaw it was very tasty. So much food. Ended up taking my half chicken home but ate most of the ribs. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful according to my friend who was able to eat some of it. Best deal I would recommend you to try. Very quantity and quality bbq.

Stayed at the hotel. Good location, close to the airport. Played craps and the dealers/pit boss are very professional and courteous. The two stars are for bed bugs. I guess they're trying to save money by not changing out the sheets every day.

A pretty good establishment. I like the small casino and collection of restaurants next to the hotel a lot! The front desk is staffed with nice and helpful people. Also a great location to the strip, very easy to call $10 rideshares back and forth. And comes with all basic necessities: a fridge, hair dryer, shampoo/body wash/conditioner, and an AC. Only a few caveats during our stay: - Was pretty expensive for a 2-star hotel (during EDC week though)-- we paid $1100 for only 3 nights. - We were initially promised late checkout was possible only to go back and forth between the cleaning staff and management whether it was possible. We talked to cleaning staff, they said it wasn't possible, and then management still charged us $20 for late checkout even though we left the room. - The rooms are pretty old. Ours had an ant infestation.

Interesting venue that seems to be a "locals" favorite. We walked through the Casino to get to the brewery and it has a 70's vibe is the best description. The brewery had a great brunch with affordable good food. There were several large screen TV's on with the Sunday football games. It was interesting place that I would recommend and possibly come back to in the future.

First time we ate here was a few years ago and everything was so tasty and fresh. We came back on December 14, 2024 and the food was lacking flavor and was a bit dry. I ordered the full rack of ribs and was really looking forward to it. It came out really dry and lacked any smoke rings. I think the ribs were baked or maybe cooked in a slow cooker (if so, not for long enough). It wasn't the fall off the bone, type of ribs I was hoping for. Maybe it was an off day or they were short on staff but I would not be rushing back anytime soon!

The steak and egg special has risen in price (now 14.99) and declined in quality. My steak was stringy (ordered rare) and eggs undercooked. It's no longer my goto for breakfast in LV.

We always come here once whenever we are in Vegas. Bob likes to order their prime rib while I ordered the Daily special Pot Roast. King cut Prime rib($27)--tender, moist and full of beefy flavour...as good as Lawrys which is one of our favourites! Comes with soup or salad, choice of potatoes and garlic green beans. Pot roast($15)- Tuesday Daily special, comes with mashed potatoes and garlic green beans. We enjoyed their meals a lot, everything is always consistently cooked good and tasty. Good value for price paid. Waitstaff is both efficient and friendly. Village Pub is simply a coffee shop so not much ambiance or service I really enjoy their no nonsense comfort food so Bob takes me there at least once!

Awesome place to come and grab a bit and watch football. They have a lot of tv and showing multiple games. Food was good as well, the chicken wings were really good. Cooked to a perfect crisp. One of my favorite dishes was the pork belly. It was super yummy and very tasty. I would pass on the pork belly Mac and cheese. It wasn't very cheesy and was a bit bland. I would come back and try out their dinner menu and see what's that's like.

Good spot to grab a bite slightly off the strip. Very reasonable prices, solid food, and nice server. Ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap and god coleslaw instead of fries. Coleslaw was decent. Kinda regretted not getting fries lol. They put lots of cheese in the wrap! The prices are great compared to the strip and the food was good.

Ellis Island, very close to the airport(7mins) & to the strip(5mins) is an ideal place if you're looking to stay at an affordable place during your quick getaway to Vegas but the hotel was not bad. They gave me a good room with the view of their casino so it was fun to hear people coming in and out. They welcomed with a coupon to a free coffee & free croissant. This makes their customers to enter their own casino. That is a good marketing gimmick. I was able to have my breakfast over their and had a veggie omlette with sourdough bread. It was good.

The BBQ ribs and chicken that they are known for did not disappoint! Tender, flavorful and still decently priced! The folks and I had a great meal. We even took home a little EI money too! Thanks for a great evening!

Hands down best prime rib I've ever had!! Place wasn't too busy and I liked how I couldn't smell all the smoke from the casinos while eating. But this prime rib was a massive 16oz and so tender. Came here for my last night in Vegas and it made it my highlight.

Every time I come to Vegas I enjoy a good meal at Ellis Island. My husband either gets the steak or prime rib. The prices are very affordable and the service is really good. This time we enjoyed the special of the day which was fish tacos accompanied by rice, beans, and a salad or soup. I got the salad and my husband got the soup. The fish tacos were amazing...the fish was crispy and the toppings were really fresh. If you want a good meal in a nice and comfortable setting this is the place for you.

Discrimination is common at this place. Last night my friend and I walked in to grad dinner and we were told we were not welcome. After we asked why the security insisted we were intoxicated but first said your friend had his hand over your shoulder, which is a cultural norm in his country. Do not go here boycott this establishment. They don't know how to treat people of color.

Probably one of the worse hotel rooms I have ever been in. The room was very filthy like it was never ever vacuumed, clumps of dirt and dust in all the corners like what you pull from a lint guard level. The AC was old and loud AF, it did keep the room cool but you must decide if you want a loud cool room or sleep. The room smelled like a burnt ashtray, even tho there isn't supposed to be smoking in the rooms, all the linen smelled like smoke as well. We drove 12 hours due to the fire on the 15 North so were completely exhausted. Would have been more comfortable sleeping in our car. The room was cheap but not cheap enough to make any of this worth it. Will never stay in the hotel ever again. Edit: it is 2:17 am and 91 degrees, I discovered a helpful tip. Good thing I brought my airpod pro earbuds, no not to listen to music to turn on noise cancellation so that I can actually sleep. So surprisingly that guest would actually want to have AC and sleep at the same time.

Love Ellis. They may be small but they have it all. Food, fun and friendly staff. You really can't go wrong here. Good and affordable food with lots of choices, great casino with slots and table games, even an affordable motel if you need a bed. The people that work here are all peaches . Been coming here for decades (yep) and it is family run and the staff stick around. From the hotel to the casino to the restaurants , you always see a lot of the same faces :) Carmel apple suckers

We really like this place. They have great beer and an awesome menu. One of the only places in vegas to still have some great late nights specials. Feels like old vegas. It's really laid back we will definitely be back. They also have a karaoke bar super fun place to hang out.

Another one bites the dust! (Primarily about cafe at Ellis Island Casino) It seems all of Vegas is ditching the value proposition and seeing how much they can get away with charging, seemingly forgotten that the cheap eats brought in and kept the gamblers. But, they are the ones in business and I'm just a customer, so who knows? But before the Front Yard expansion (or whatever it is called) it seemed a lot more.fun at Ellis Island. I have been coming to Ellis Island Casino for years. When I sat down in the Cafe, I thought the prices looked high, so I scanned back through old menus in the photos here on Yelp. Literally, prices up 100% in the last two years, and up 25% in the last year. To add insult to injury, the serving sizes are smaller, as well. The service has never been very good (until the bill comes out, then the server checks back regularly!) and the staff at the host stand will chat away while you wait to even be acknowledged and seated. If I'm going to pay $20 for a breakfast anyway, there are plenty of other places I can go. For that amount you can get a buffet at South Point and have a generous tip left over. Just not the Vegas we used to know, not even from a few short years ago.

Nothing like 2-3am steaks in the morning in Vegas, can't figure if it was because I skipped dinner, but the steaks hit me at an emotional level. The pub has been my friends' stomping grounds every time they come to vegas and it doesn't disappoint. For $10 only, you get such bang for your buck, enough to satisfy some like me who's a black hole. The steak rarity and eggs are cooked to order. The atmosphere of the pub itself is about what you'd expect at a normal American restaurant but you're there for the food. The waiters/waitresses are pretty attentive when you need their attention and I got to commend them for the night shift and being that hospitable too!

*BUGS!* As soon as we opened the door and turned on the light, we saw at least 4 roaches scurry off the desk into the rolling chair. We told the front desk and he did not seem surprised. He reassigned us from that room on the 1st floor to one on the 3rd floor (fewer bugs I guess?). This room was better until I found a small roach in the bathroom sink on our second day... It was hard to get a good night's sleep after that. Our breakfast at the Front Yard was cold, even after waiting over an hour for it. No complaints about the staff except for the security outside. There were multiple occasions where they made flirtatious comments at my friends and me. One even buzzed his taser to get our attention. While not outwardly rude, but unprofessional and makes for an awkward wait for your Uber. The best part about this place is the proximity to the Strip. You definitely get what you pay for here.

One of the most unexpected cafe with one of the best Prime Rib dinner I've had with a price well worth. Also was barbecued night which was also good n to mention the fish n chips was also delicious. Recommend this place.

Great food, but ... When I go to Vegas with my friends, we often frequent Ellis Island for old school craps. We walked in this weekend and our dismay. They've replaced one of their tables with electronic version. It crushed me to see longtime dealer, Brian behind this electronic monstrosity. The playing surface is terrible. And the social aspect of the game is completely different. No, more making a special stop for me and my crew.

I went there for gone "prime rib special" that they used to have on the menu for about $17.99 and it was no longer specially priced. It's now $38.99 or so. So, I opted for the BLT with no mayo. It was very good. and I even had dessert as the ice cream scoop was nicely priced at $3.99 or so. Service was very good and the ambiance is like a quiet diner.

We had dinner one at the front yard, and the food was delicious! We gambled and got a nice bonus for being a card member. We also enjoyed the karaoke. Professional, fun, KJ that kept the vibe fun and informed. There is a reason THIS is the longest running karaoke in Las Vegas. Drinks were reasonable too! If your in a group; opt for bottle service for free skips (this comes in handy when the place is packed)

We headed over for the good deal on prime rib but it's now $34.99 as of April 2024 so we passed on that. Instead we bought the pot roast Tuesday special for $16.99 with green beans and mashed potatoes. That dish tasty but 1/3 to 1/2 of the "meat" was fat. That plus another baked potato was enough for a late afternoon meal for two. The service was good and attentive.

Ellis Island can be found behind the Strip on Koval Lane & E Rochelle Ave. It's a smaller Hotel & Casino with a few Good Restaurants & has a Brewery. It's small enough that you can't get lost. Parking is free, both on the lot & in the parking garage. It's a very casual casino that has a bar, slots & tables. On my last visit the restrooms looked spanking brand new. I like what they've done... I have not stayed at the hotel... Just gambled & ate at 2 of the restaurants. My favorite is Ellis Island BBQ for their Chicken & Ribs. When you dine there you get a discount with a Players Club Card. Even score a $2 Off Coupon for playing $5... In the future I'll try to visit the Front Yard. I've only interacted with the servers at the BBQ place. They seem chill & were on top of things. Haven't interacted with anyone on the floor. They just seem like they don't want to be disturbed lol.

This place is fun fun fun. Whether you are there to enjoy their delicious decently priced food or hitting the bar, it's all amazing. From the steak and eggs to the fish and chips, it's all good. Sitting at the bar all your requests are quickly fulfilled with friendly service. This is my go to every time I'm back in LV. See you there !!!

Uber blue collar place which is a great break from the rest of Vegas. We had the rib dinner at EIBBQ then went to the Front Yard. Both blew our socks off!! Let's start with the BBQ place; first, very affordable. 50 bucks for two of us with beers and we are full as ticks. Haven't had a meal with drinks under $100 since we got here. Get full here. Next we went and had some beer flights at the Front Yard Beer Garden. 9 bucks. Nailed the beer. It is from silver reef brewing in St. George but it's EI's recipe (contract brewing). So, if you're in town don't sleep on this place. It's worth it.

Since this place was recommended, we figured why not stop by yesterday hoping for a quick and easy brunch before heading out to Grand Canyon while in town for our spring break, but we were gravely disappointed by the server's poor attitude. I don't know why, but the moment we sat down we noticed the indifference. Food was good, but took forever(after 30 minutes then she told us "your food is coming!" coldly.). I had to make a bathroom trip then the food finally came. She never stopped by to check on us by asking if everything was alright, but only sent us dirty stares from afar. Later when I asked for the check, she quickly slapped the check on the table and when I barely took a look at the total, she snapped, "not so bad right?" I doubt we'll ever come back for the life of me.
