Jackpot, Nevada and Cactus Pete's Hotel Casino

After leaving for Las Vegas, Tina and I headed to Jackpot, Nevada to stay at Cactus Pete's Hotel and Casino. We stopped in Ely briefly for a bourbon hunt, and burgers at Hunter's Cafe. We also went into Hotel Nevada and the Jailhouse Casino.

Very nice video, loved the driving footage and the casino walk through at Cactus Pete’s was really nice. Loved your friends from Idaho, how nice of them to drive down and meet you. Can’t wait to see the Ghost town vid! You’re on fire!!!! 😊🙏❤️

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Thanks so much Dale! That means so much to me! I'm on fire, and Tina is definitely smokin!!! 😆

[@gmajoanne5692]

Good morning guys! Very pretty drive! Love the scenery! Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Thank you! It is a beautiful drive for sure! Happy Halloween 🎃

[@Goody311]

Holy cow! I’ve been to Jackpot in the dead of Winter and stayed at at Cactus Petes as well. Loooooove your videos, love the driving footage, just thank you for allowing me to relive some great memories

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

I love this comment! Made me feel great! Glad I could stir up some memories of your travels! Take Care

Good Morning, Nice way to enjoy my bagel and coffee. I have been to Jackpot. It is a long drive, but an amazing scenic drive. You can't pass on Buffalo Trace because it is near impossible to get in Virginia. That is a pretty good collection of liquor for the middle of nowhere. Nice to know you can have a nice meal in your jail cell in Ely, NV. Very cool idea. How did you not throw at least $20 in Texas Tina? Your selection of music is always awesome in your videos. Always fun to meet subs who you don't see often. Nice place there. When I was passing through, Leeann Rhimes was playing there. Watching your videos always has me itching for a roadtrip. Keep it Squatchy!!

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Good Morning! Jackpot is pretty cool, and definitely the road getting there is very Scenic. Absolutely, always hard to pass on Buffalo Trace. That Cell Block Steakhose was really great when I tried it a few years ago. Yeah, we should have played Texas Tina, but we wanted to get to Jackpot before sunset....we barely made it! Thanks for the great comments PJ!

[@drhamilton3231]

I love playing Texas Tina but it’s tough to find in the Casino’s now.

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Yeah! I bet. I love going to these out of the way places, like Ely and seeing what games they have. Take care, my friend.

[@TracyJ4418]

Happy Halloween ! 💀🦇🎃

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Happy Halloween!

[@dicesniper5599]

GG likes to play Texas Tea’na , and nope you can’t have enough Buffalo Trace in stock, especially for that price. Take care Guys

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Yeah! That was a pretty darn good price. Even cheaper than in Virginia for Buffalo Trace, so I had to pick it up. Take Care!
