The Rampart Casino
A short drive from the Las Vegas Strip, the Rampart Casino is located at 221 North Rampart Blvd., within the Resort at Summerlin, also home of J.W. Marriott Las Vegas. With its luxurious Mediterranean style, the resort contains a four-star hotel, intimate circular casino, and a spa complex.
Guests can enjoy gambling on more than 1,250 slot machines, 26 table games, or at the 115-seat Race and Sports Book. A very popular feature of the casino is its large assortment of full-pay video poker machines in denominations from nickels up to dollars.

The table games area at the Rampart Casino
Live entertainment can be found at the casino’s two lounges: the Round Bar and Addison’s. Great dining choices include the Café Coffee Shop, Rampart Buffet, or the wonderful Carmel Room specialty restaurant (truly a hidden gem in Las Vegas!).
First things first. Be sure to sign-up for the Rampart Rewards free slot club (bring your coupon from the 2009 American Casino Guide book for free gifts when you sign up!) to begin earning points redeemable for cash back (one of the few locals’ casinos to still offer cash back) or comps. In addition, you’ll be able to start taking advantage of all of the other giveaways, gifts and promotions. The club takes $4 coin-in to earn 1 point and every 100 points earns $1 in cash back.
An exciting component of the marketing plan for Rampart Casino is providing high-end quality gifts on a consistent basis. Customers are required to earn a specified number of points on their slot club card account on designated days every month to receive a variety of high quality gifts like housewares, logo items, clothing, electronics and much more. The gift items change every month and are essentially “free”- no point redemption is required. You can keep your points to use for additional comps and cash back!
The monthly promotions calendar almost always includes bonus point days (2 times points on certain days of the month) and a “Neighborhood Partners” program. The Neighborhood Partners program allows customers to purchase gift cards using their same day earned points for various national and local stores that have mass appeal to their customers. Stores often include retailers like Target, Rite-Aid, Walgreens and grocery stores. The value of purchasing a gift card with points can be as high as 3-5 times that of taking the standard club cash back rate.
While the majority of their customers love the gift promotions, a couple months out of the year the company foregoes the gifts in lieu of lucrative cash drawings and slot tournaments for players.
In addition to its monthly promotional calendar, The Rampart also mails out individual bounce-back monthly cash coupons ($5-$25 per week) and other rewards to its established customers (usually for locals only, but visitors can also ask for a host to help meet their requests) based on their play.
The Race & Sports Book offers $2 Daily Racing Forms (free for established Rampart Casino Race Players) with Pari-Mutual wagering on most major U.S. thoroughbred horse racing tracks. Non Pari-Mutual wagering is available on Florida Greyhound Racing. Scratch sheets are available on all tracks that they offer. A Twin Quinella wager is offered Wednesday through Sunday including a $500 starting jackpot. (Jackpot increases each day that it is not won.)
