Great casino to drink and have a good time. I love happy hour from 4pm to 8 pm daily. Micheladas are delicious...they are my favorite.
Super cool location very convenient and close to my pad! All staff members are friendly as well.

The short version
What visitors say about The Aviator Casino
In Delano, the Aviator gets as much attention for its bar as for its card tables. Fans talk up happy hour, the beer and bar food like garlic fries and wings, and some have booked it for work parties or large groups, using the patio. Some nights bring a DJ or a band. It opens at 4 p.m. and stays open until 2 a.m.
Gamblers are less impressed. It's card games only, with no slots, and several visitors who pulled in expecting a full casino left disappointed. Reviewers call the room small and dated and the drinks expensive outside happy hour, and blackjack players describe long losing streaks. Most of these reviews are several years old, and one visitor a few years back found the kitchen not serving food, so check before planning dinner there.

Good place to unwind after a long day at work. Drinks are on spot. Occasionally they have events, like live bands or comedy shows. Their garlic fries are on point!

This place was smaller than I expected. But all normal card games, bar and restaurant. Food is delicious. Have never had bad dish there! Their patio is GREAT option for a big gathering! Although I've never gambled there, every time I've gone, there is a decent crowd that seems to be enjoying themselves. Definitely recommend!

Definitely not a real casino. No atmosphere. Would not recommend.
Drinks are too expensive Decor is so out of date carpet is ripped with tape onthe ripped areas. The only games there are card games and a DJ playing music for entertainment as for the food i dont know.
Absolute garbage gambling. I play Blackjack often in many places and I know the game inside out. I do well everywhere I play except Aviator. I have played blackjack at Aviator 15 times and 14 times I have left a loser. On average myself and usually everybody around me loses about 80% of their hands. This defies the…
Shouldn't advertise as a casino when they don't even have slots. I live in Az and drive by all the time,so finally decided to stop by since there are sooo many signs/billboards advertising the "casino". I was terribly disappointed when I
So overrated, the seats are beyond uncomfortable, the food is sooo wack and cold. Poor service
One look at the parking lot and I changed my mind, sorry you all.
