I always have fun in wendover. We usually stay at the RED GARTER, it may not be as nice as the other casinos but it cost a lot less & that means more cash to play the slot machines with. We usually go to out room late & back up early, so do not spend much time in the room, which is usually comfortable & quite.just wish they could do some thing about the heavy smoke smell, for us that do not. The Red Garter Hotel and Casino offers the newest accommodations at an affordable price. Enjoy Wendover’s most renowned dining. Experience a new casino that offers a wide variety of games, and delivers the ultimate experience in fun and excitement. 71 reviews of Red Garter Hotel & Casino 'free room, free play,and free drinks for truckers.

Red Garter is a hotel and casino located in West Wendover, Nevada just west of Rainbow. As of January 2009 it employed 155 people.[1]
History[edit]
Red Garter was originally a smaller casino with a connecting Super 8 motel adjacent to it.[2]
Red Garter began operation in 1983.[3] In 2004 Holder Hospitality Group purchased the casino from Full House Inc. and retained its current management and staff.[4]
Due to the recent economy, the gambling industry has had major losses. In January 2009, it was announced that the Red Garter was to be closed on March 3.[5][6][7] However, the casino remained open and continued operations under the Holder Group.
On February 19, 2010, the Holder Hospitality Group filed for bankruptcy protection for the Red Garter Casino. The following Tuesday, February 23, 2010 the casino was sold to the owners of the Wendover Nugget casino.[8][9] The primary owner is David A. Ensign who is the half-brother of Senator John Ensign.
Red Garter underwent renovations in 2010 (while remaining open) and now offers 9 single deck Royal Match Blackjack tables, 1 Double Zero Roulette, 1 Three Card Poker table, and 1 Craps table. An entire new slot floor has also been added in the past months featuring a new players card system and ticket in/out systems. The interior of the casino has had major improvements, including a new Hotel registration desk, a new Gift Shop, new restrooms, and new carpet throughout the casino.
