Carson City's Duke’s Steak House among first casino restaurants to reopen under phase 1
This Friday, May 22 at 4 p.m. Casino Fandango’s award-winning Duke’s Steak House in Carson City will reopen to the public. As part of phase one reopening, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board is allowing restaurants inside casinos to open provided certain industry-specific criteria are met; Duke’s will be one of the first to reopen in Northern Nevada.
In adherence with policy, customers may not access the restaurant through the casino floor, instead, they must enter through the Grand Ballroom entrance on the southwest side of the building across from the parking garage.
After extensive training and preparation, management and staff at Duke’s will closely follow the Governor’s office health and safety recommendations. Prior to entry, the temperatures of both guests and Team Members will be taken with an infrared, no contact thermometer. If someone registers a temperature of 100 degrees or higher they will not be permitted inside the building. So patrons have peace of mind as to the health of Casino Fandango Team Members, each will have a daily health check, with masks and wristbands issued after each test.
To ensure social distancing guidelines are followed, marks on the floor will help customers maintain space between themselves and others, and dining area seating has been moved to accommodate six feet of separation. The bar will be open, but no sitting or standing will be allowed in the bar area. Also, disposable menus will be discarded after each use.
For many years, Duke's has been recognized as one of Northern Nevada's premier dining establishments and is consistently voted BEST Steak in Carson City. It has always been Duke’s priority to ensure guests have the best dining experience possible and that is still the number one goal. State directives do require that all customers must make advance reservations. Duke’s reservations can be made by calling (775) 886-1664. Hours of operation are 4pm-9pm, Wednesday-Sunday.
“We are very excited to welcome guests back to enjoy our great food and our extensive wine selection. Casino Fandango and Duke’s Steak House are part of the community and we understand that the safety of Nevadans comes first, this is why we are very proud to be one of the first to reopen and bring some joy to our residents,” said Court Cardinal, President and General Manager of Casino Fandango.
Due to social distancing guidelines, happy hour will be not available, and because the Casino Management System can not be activated during this phase, points and/or coupons cannot be redeemed at this time.
