The build-your-own burger was excellent, and the wings and cauliflower fries were very tasty. The beer selection was also delightful. Our bartender, Dean, was very polite and attentive, taking care of us while also serving other customers. We will definitely check this place out again the next time we're in Laughlin.

It's in the Colorado Belle casino, which means you can get beers here and take them out onto the floor. Reviews were not stellar but these are classic styles and I enjoyed them. I wasn't in the mood for more than an appetizer, my server suggested the Cauliflower Bites and they were a hit. Think Buffalo Wings but with cauliflower. I got a sampler of beers: Premium Golden Ale, the smooth, malty, drinkable, faintly hopped standard light offering. Jackass Stout, rich roasted malts in the nose and palate, dark chocolate, smooth, bitter roasty finish. Rehab Red, juicy malt nose, stewed malts and red berries in the palate, balanced hop finish with a gentle bitterness. Bodacious Blueberry Ale, juicy blueberry pops in the nose and palate, tart wheat, slightly sweet finish, just a bit too sweet but love the berry fruit. What the Puck IPA, this is an outstanding classic American IPA with grapefruit citrus in the nose, chewy caramel malt and more grapefruit and resiny pine in the palate, long dry lingering hop finish. It was my favorite and I got a 20 ounce cup to take back into the casino for $4. Prices were reasonable, I got the sampler plus a bonus brew from my server and the appetizer for about $25 with a 30% tip. I would surely go back!

The service can be quite inconsistent – most of the time, it's not great, with slow servers or being understaffed, and occasionally, the staff can be a bit rude. Since there aren’t many dining options available, I do tend to return from time to time to see if anything has improved. During my latest visit, though, we had a server named Sean who was excellent – very attentive and prompt. If you enjoy breweries and don’t mind waiting a bit, this place offers a nice view of the river where you can relax and enjoy your drink.

Initially, I tried to go to Brew Brothers across the street at the Tropicana, but they don't open until 1 PM for reasons I'm not quite sure of, so I ended up back at Pints. I sat at the bar and chose a different beer this time; after having the Bodacious Blueberry on my first visit, which was a bit too strongly flavored for an entire glass, I opted for the Mexican lager at lunch, and it was fantastic! The fried fish tacos were also a highlight—they were absolutely delicious. I heard that if you gamble on the bar machines, you can score a free beer, but I'm not much of a gambler and didn’t plan on having more than one drink anyway. Though lunch wasn’t the cheapest, it was definitely worth it, especially the amazing crinkle-cut sweet potato fries! Pints is my favorite restaurant in Laughlin. The decor is unique, making you feel like you're in a ship. The staff is friendly and younger than at many other places. I'd say the crowd at Pints is mostly under 55, but my older aunt and uncle enjoyed their meals just as much, and we all found the portions generous. While older patrons can often be picky, they had no complaints here. If there’s any room for improvement, it would be in the temperature control of the dining area and maybe having someone more knowledgeable about beer, like a cicerone, on staff. As a bit of a beer enthusiast, I appreciate learning more about the selections. I asked the bartender about the seasonal Ye Old Ale; he described it as an IPA, but it’s actually a Golden Ale. Still, I get that not having overly adventurous beers on tap is likely a wise choice for Laughlin, where most people just want a Coors Light. All in all, I give Pints two thumbs up!
