Whether you want to look even better in that new bathing suit or just want to eat a little healthier, the Emerald Island Grille has great options to help you eat lighter this summer.  With the oppressive summer heat upon us, cravings for a huge plate of our savory pot roast and creamy mashed potatoes covered in rich gravy sometimes give way to yearnings for a crisp, cold salad or a platter of sweet and juicy, fresh summer fruit. 

Independence Day, or the Fourth of July, is a great summer holiday celebrating the Continental Congress adopting the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The 4th of July falls on a Monday this year and is, as always, a Federal Holiday. It will certainly be a busy travel day as people enjoy an extended holiday.  If you don't want to fight the crowds or if you have family and friends coming into town, there are many great events in Henderson and we always like to see you at the Emerald Island Casino, the Jewel of Henderson!

Father's Day is fast approaching!  Celebrating Dad's special day is so much easier than Mother's Day, right? No one wants to disappoint their Mom, and Dad always seems so pleased with a tie or a 'World's Greatest Dad" coffee mug.  Plus, Dad really likes to spend the afternoon in the blazing sun barbecuing.  Surprise!  Dads like a little pampering too!

Images come to mind of the "Rat Pack" and iconic casinos. Sadly, many of the grand dames of old Vegas casinos have met the wrecking ball or have become the main attraction in spectacularly staged and orchestrated implosions.
