Jean Nevada was a pleasant surprise. We did the seven-minute walk over to the Gold Strike Casino for a very nice Sunday buffet breakfast that included an omelet station and even great Kahlua Pork! Nice folks at the airport included a friendly wave from the man mowing the lawn. Gold Strike Casino security was friendly as well, offering us a ride back to the airport, which they almost wouldn't let us decline. The casino itself is clean and has that nice "Old Vegas" look. Looks like the old original airport runway is visible immediately to the west of the taxiway. Only unusual part of the airport is that it seemed all parking spaces were painted "RSRVED, " but when other transient aircraft parked in those spots, we did too without problems.

Not a bad fuel stop. Close to Vegas but clear of airspace issues. Crummy that the terminal was locked but there's a payphone and a bathroom so they're redeemed by my standards. No wi-fi anywhere, including at the casino. Don't stay here too long as the $1.00 drafts at the hotel might ground you.

Easy in, easy out, 5 minute walk to Gold Strike Hotel/Casino. The casino is kinda dark and dingy (caters to truckers), but it's a good quick gambling fix.

Easy walk to the Gold Strike Casino and Hotel. Plenty of places to eat there. The hotel is decent and very cheap. The airport is pretty sleepy, but the fuel is cheap and you can go skydiving or take a glider ride if you want. There are ops for both on the field.

Enjoy stopping at Jean. Was on my way back from Arizona to California and have some free time to enjoy flying and a little quick gambling. So I directed my plane to Goffs VOR then to Jean. Touched down, and walked to the Gold Strike. Played a few games for a couple of hours and back in the air I was to Los Angeles.

What a time we had! After we tied our plane down (no tie down fee), we walked to FBO/Skydive Shop/Restroom building, picked up the hotel courtesy phone, and a driver was there in 45 seconds. Hungry and thirsty from our 2 hour journey from Long Beach, CA, we sat down to the $8 all you can eat buffet. My motto is usually "If you can’t see the ocean, don't order the fish, " but after I saw the king crab legs and fresh drawn butter along side the prime rib...... To make a long story short, we went to bed at our hotel, The Gold Strike Hotel, @ 3 in the morning. We woke up at 11, went to the $6 all you can eat breakfast buffet, wrote down our flight plan and checked the weather. We took the walking path to our plane, loaded it up, taxied to the fuel station, filled it up with the cheapest fuel in town ($3.85), and then flew back to Long Beach. If you ever want to do a quick, turn-around, "Vegas Run" but want to miss the crowds (and pay less), Jean is a great alternative.

Self-serve fuel. No oil. No FBO per-se. The jump school is busy doing its own thing and not there to serve transient aircraft. Restrooms and vending machine on North side of the building appear to be open even when rest of building is locked up. Gold Strike hotel a bit of a walk if it's hot.

Great place to stop. Hotel, restrooms, and restaurants are close by (in hotel). Land with enough gas to make it into North Las Vegas (VGT) because the hose in the self-service at times is jammed and unusable. This has happened to me twice.

Easy approach, inexpensive fuel, and a clean restroom make Jean a great stop.
