Review from Rachel S.

My boyfriend and I both play Bingo back at home...so it was our mission to play in Vegas! We had taken the free shuttle from Bally's over to the Rio Hotel for the buffet. I remembered that in Vegas, Bingo is played every other hour. It was 10PM and I thought that we should head over to Gold Coast and play the last session at 11PM.
Gold Coast is right across the street from the Rio, we jaywalked (shhh...don't tell anyone!) over there. It's at the opposite end of the casino on the second floor. This is a HUGE bingo hall. Like others have said, it is very nice, open and clean.
We only play paper. Even though I know how to play bingo, these games were a little bit different than I'm used to. Since we had about a half an hour until the session started, the lady was nice enough to explain to us what was what.
We decided to go with two tan packs, which were the highest paying packs if you won. Then we paid the $1 for the hot ball (or whatever the call it), $1 for Game 8 (a coverall bonus game) and $1 for an extra game that was played with Game 1.
We didn't win this time around...but we did go back the next day with my friend!
My friend who we went with the second day is an even bigger bingo player than I am. This time I had more of a clue about how the games were played.
I bought a small rainbow pack, which is basically like playing four packs at once. That was $12. Then I bought the extra game that is played with Game 1 for $1, bought the hot ball for $1 and bought Game 8 for $2. In total, I spent $16 ($36 because I bought my boyfriends games too). None of us won again, but we still had a lot of fun.
On the second day, I had been drinking one of those Paris Eiffel Tower drinks. I was pretty tipsy by the second to last game, so it was really hard for me to concentrate on daubing, haha.
Also, they only take CASH. And like every other hotel, if you sign up for their Rewards Card or Frequent Player Card or whatever they call it, you'll get a discount on your packs. I'm trying to plan our trip next year to come for their $500,000 bingo tournament...yes, we're that big of Bingo fans. We don't care if there's a 50 year age gap or not!!!Listed in: Sin City Must-See-Must-Do

This bingo hall is HUGE, the seating is fine. Sometimes the clerks are turkeys but it depends on who you get for the most part the people are ok. The drinks are free, and they have aquafina water not cheapo water.
It's located upstairs near some slots and restrooms so if you arrive early you can be comfortable and get ready, change your clothes etc for visitors and realsx and play keno before you go in.
I never win but thats my luck, Good luck to all that play. -

"There was a gambler who had an addiction and Bingo was its name-o....
B. I. N. G. O! B. I. N. G. O!......
and Bingo was its name-o!" WooOhOoOo!
I've played Bingo in 2nd grade and Bingo during family functions, but NEVER have I played Bingo for serious Money in Vegas! Our first experience here was pretty intense and super awesome! We were all a bit greedy and excited - we each got a Green & Tan sheet with 2 extra sheets for the bonus round! About $21 for a full hour of Bingo with free drinks!! OMG! Be sure to get your Dotter for $1-$1.75 from the vending machine! Why use an electric bingo when you can stamp your own numbers??! If it is your first time or if you are slow like my BF (he was super stressed trying to dot his two sheets), I highly recommend getting only one sheet to start! Triple Bingo, Double Bingo, 6 box, 9 box, Blackout... It can get confusing!!
Robin was probably the best Bingo Instructor/Attendance/Helper EVER!! We told her that it was our first time ever, and she was so happy to help us with our Bingo adventure experience. She even told us to get a Free Gold Coast membership card so that we would get discounts!! Awesome! She was super attentive and even stopped by our table to make sure that we were okay! =)
Even though we didn't win anything, we all had a lot of fun and were very pleased with our drinks for the hour. So if you're tired of sitting at the slots pulling a lever or tired of trying your luck at the tables, come in for a relaxing time playing Bingo and have a couple of drinks. This was such a fun experience that we came back the next day for another round of Bingo! BUT this time, we were a lot smart and started out with the Blue cards for $4 and additional bonus cards! It came out to be about $6 for an hour of Bingo and drinks!! And our friend T.C.N walked out with $13 because she had to split her winnin' with other people! Super Awesome!!

Review from Hazel Q.
Sure, you kids have got your Rain and your Pure and your Snoopy Dog parties, but in keeping with my old lady name, I prefer some of the simple elderly pleasures in life...like bingo. Okay, so maybe I went to keep my mom entertained for a couple of hours...and maybe I've accompanied my mom on many a bingo excursion before, but this was the first to Gold Coast's bingo hall...and I'm more than a fan.
Picture this hypothetical scenario: you've already withdrawn your $300 for the day, the blackjack tables haven't treated you so well, and you're in dire need of a drink. Hypothetically, of course. Well, for a mere $10 you get unlimited booze (you don't even have to wait for the cocktail gal, you can get your free booze directly from the bar) and the chance to annoy old folks and win a few hundred bucks.
Sadly, the bad luck wasn't shaken by an afternoon bingo session, but five vodka tonics later...I left there one happy bingo-er.Listed in: Vegas on the Cheap

No visit to Vegas is complete for me without playing Bingo with my family members who are locals. They introduced me to this lovely game and although my first time I went reluctantly I am now the Bingo rallier upper who insists we go play each time I'm in town.
Bingo is played at Gold Coast, Suncoast and Red Rock every other hour. It costs between $7-$15 for an hour's play. You can play electronically or on paper. I prefer paper games because I enjoy using the ink blotters. Drinks are free and you're competing against senior citizens for the most part so a coronary is always a possibility to add some sizzle to the game : )
If you think you know Bingo and if you think it's boring and easy you are WRONG! This game gets stressful and a little complicated as you aim for double bingos, Hardway double bingos, six packs, nine packs and coveralls. Bingo is way more interactive and fun than just sitting at a table and saying "hit me" or pressing "spin" on a machine.
I know.... I know.... It's sad.... I'm a Bingo Whore.... There I said it and you know what? I don't care! I'm not ashamed! I want to shout it out over a rooftop for all to hear.... I LOVE BINGO!!!Listed in: My Happy Places

After reading these reviews, I simply had to give Bingo a try. How hard could it be, right? Well, reality check, Vegas Bingo is not what you played in preschool. This game takes total concentration (unless you use the digital reader, like a wussy) and there is no talking! It took me a few games to figure out what was going on but once I did, I was hooked. The best strategy is to get there early order 2-3 drinks and make sure you have cards for each game in the round. DO NOT call Bingo unless you are certain, the blue hairs almost killed one of their own after he mistakenly called Bingo, yikes!! To some it up: Bingo - it's intense and low-rewarding, but it's a damn good way to waste an hour in Vegas.

Sooooo much fun! I played with my mom and dad.... The staff...NOT so friendly... One of them seemed annoyed because my parents were asking her HOW they really played BINGO...BOOOOO. But for $15 for an hour's play... it was our money's worth. I find that playing on paper has more thrill than playing electronically.

Old crabby people who take bingo too seriously? SCORE. This and Sam's Town are the best places in town for a real, locals bingo experience. Yes, bingo is generally played by the elderly. But when you get free drinks with your score cards and cause a slight bit of ruckus which garners you evil stares, it's kinda worth the $11. This place rules. Go bowling afterwards, it's like a completely different land.

Went here with 3 friends to experience a different kind of Vegas.........boy is it ever! So fun! $15 for an 1 1/2 hours of pure entertainment plus free drinks. Totally worth it. Hit the 9pm session and your adrenaline (keeping up w/numbers called is VERY stressful) will be pumping. You'll be ready to hit the town after with loads of laughs already in the vault. :)

Bingo played every odd hour with a $4 buy-in for a regular 12 game pack. Specials are $1 each. Our total bill came to about $7 or $8 each for an hour of bingo. The games are the easiest bingo games possible - single, double, triple, coverall, and some blocks of six or nine. No funny shapes. The bingo hall is HUGE - it seats about 700 total (smokers and nonsmokers in the same room), and is really luxurious. The tables and chairs are beautiful and the place is very clean and spacious and encourages you to stay. For each bingo session you can have two free drinks at the bar (hard liquor or soda), and popcorn is $1.00. And you can also order drinks from the cocktail waitress when she comes by, so about 3 drinks per session. The games are called fast, and people are serious here about bingo. The monitors and bingo boards are overly large so you can easily see the number. They sell daubers in the back of the room for $1.00 in case you forgot one. The bingo hall is a wonderful mix of middle-class locals (mainly seniors) and gamblers who happened to just walk in. We stayed for a few sessions and really enjoyed the experience. The casino itself is spacious, not old despite being old, and has some great eateries and a nice gift shop downstairs. There is also a bowling alley in the casino. For a Vegas bingo night I'd go here for sure.
