South Reno
Atlantis Casino Resort Spa
The Peppermill's closest rival, skywalk-connected to the convention centre — which in January is the whole argument.
Reno
Casinos
Reno lost its casino monopoly to California’s tribal gaming twenty years ago, and the properties that survived did it by becoming better hotels rather than bigger casinos. That is why the two nicest rooms in the city are in a strip-mall stretch of South Virginia Street and not under the Arch.
The three downtown properties — the Eldorado, the Silver Legacy and Circus Circus — are connected to each other by enclosed skywalks and run as one operation called The Row. In practice they function as a single very large building with three names.
Boomtown Casino Resort
Out on I-80 west toward the California line — the family-and-highway option, with an arcade and a steakhouse and no downtown around it.
- Downtown Reno
Circus Circus Reno
The family option downtown: a free circus midway above the casino floor, and the starting point for most of Reno's bar crawls.
- Downtown Reno
Club Cal Neva
A downtown gaming floor with no hotel attached — cheap, unpretentious, and the closest thing left to what Reno's casino core used to feel like.
- Downtown Reno
Eldorado Resort Casino
The Carano family's original Reno property, and still the best place to eat inside a downtown casino.
- East Reno
Grand Sierra Resort
The largest property in the city and effectively its own destination — theatre, kart track, driving range, aquatic centre.
- Downtown Reno
J Resort
The newest property in Reno and the anchor of the Neon Line District — the one downtown casino most visitors have never heard of.
- Sparks
Nugget Casino Resort
Sparks' landmark, with Interstate 80 running on a viaduct directly over the casino floor.
- South Reno
Peppermill Resort Spa Casino
The best resort in Reno, and it is not downtown. Family-owned, Tuscan-themed, with the spa that everyone else is measured against.
- Downtown Reno
Silver Legacy Resort Casino
The one with the mining rig under a white dome. Downtown's most recognisable interior, and skywalk-connected to two other properties.
