Though the name of our second Top 10 Reno Casino Resorts list pick is called Silver Legacy Resort and Casino, it’s definitely worthy of platinum status in our books. In addition to its highly-impressive 85,000-sq.-ft. casino floor, this Reno hotspot plays host to Tony Award-winning productions, too!

It’s not that we don’t want you to go and have a gambling good time laying it all on the line when you’re playing one of the 85 table games at Silver Legacy. In fact, we encourage you to lose yourself among the rows and rooms of more than 1,600 slot machines – all ranging from denominations of a penny to $100. But it’s just that Silver Legacy was voted Best Entertainment and Best Comedy Club in Reno by Casino Player Magazine, and it would be a crying shame if you didn’t find out why. So once you’ve cashed in your chips, you’re going to want to spend a night at the onsite Catch a Rising Star Comedy Club – the same club that launched the careers of comedy greats like Jerry Seinfeld and Billy Crystal. And don’t even think about leaving without a night on Broadway right here in Reno at the neighboring Eldorado Showroom!

Highlights

Join Club Legacy and you can take advantage of the Comp Yourself program with hassle-free self-serve kiosks and special benefits that let you win big at Silver Legacy Resort and Casino.

Getting there

The No. 3 choice for our Top 10 Reno Casino Resorts list may not be at the bottom of the ocean, but we promise you that it holds just as many treasures and precious coins as the lost city – as well as a much better location! And the richly-appointed Atlantis Casino Resort Spa caters to every budget!

Whether you’re Uncle Money Bags or Sir Empty Money Bags, this Reno gem invites you into its treasure trove of slot machines, video poker machines and table games, all waiting for you to pull up a chair. We were especially excited when we learned about Atlantis’ Exclusive Premier Games and Radical Royals – Reno’s only 50,000-dollar video poker bonus. Known for having some of the loosest slots in Reno, Atlantis gives you the chance to turn your Hoover flags into pocketfuls of cash. Don’t worry if your luck runs out at the door, though. The resort offers a wide range of accommodations, from the ornate Concierge Tower suites to the wallet-friendly and comfortable Motorlodge guestrooms.

Connected by skyway to our No. 2 and No. 5 Top 10 Reno Casino Resorts list choices, The Eldorado Hotel Casino is part of the main lifeline of Reno, pumping winners out of its doors and into the glittery streets every night. Best of Reno Poll did vote it as the Luckiest Place to Gamble, after all!

This Nevada must-stay boasts an amazing location within walking distance to practically everything worthwhile in Reno – like the Reno Events Center – so there’s no need to pout about sore footsies, even though there is an ache-banishing onsite Jacuzzi. If proximity to exhilarating Reno attractions doesn’t draw you through the door, the nearby Eldorado Showroom, Northern Nevada’s premier entertainment venue, definitely will. This 580-seat space features state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems and plays host to award-winning Broadway productions like 42nd Street. Rather be dealt a hand at the blackjack table than deal with theatrical productions? Eldorado can please you, too! You’ll find just the right slot machine or game table in its 81,000-sq.-ft. casino. And when you finally decide to retire for the night (or day!), sink into the California king bed inside your Player Spa Suite high in the Skyline Tower.

Don’t make us call your bluff by denying that you weren’t completely giddy at the thought of vacationing at a resort that combines kiddy carnival thrills with big kid casino games. At Circus Circus Hotel and Casino – our No. 5 Top 10 Reno Casino Resorts list pick – you’re never too old to have fun!

Look, we’re not saying this circus-inspired resort is completely catered to wee ones. We are saying, however, that it is okay to clown around here. We recommend you start your stay here by walking through the gaming room doors guarded by brightly-garbed elephant statues with big, tusky smiles. In there you’ll find 65,000 sq. ft. of slot machines, table games and the Circus Circus Race and Sports Book. Just around the corner from the main gaming area is – drum roll please – the action-packed, game-filled, merrymaking Midway! Here, you can try your luck at more than 75 carnival and redemption games and take your chances at winning a whole bunch of prizes, like a Razor Scooter! And you won’t want to miss out on daily circus shows like the Imperial Acrobat of China and JR John’s hilarious hounds.

Highlights

The Hound Hotel at Circus Circus makes it possible for you to bring your furry family members with to Reno! There are eight kennels equipped with surveillance cameras so you can watch your pet from your own guestroom or suite!

You’ll do better than break even at Harrah’s Reno. This Northern Nevada destination and our No. 6 choice on our Top 10 Reno Casino Resorts is known for some of the hottest deals and richest prizes in this star-studded town – and that’s why it’s been rated as a AAA Three Diamond hotel!

Slots, table games, race and sports book – Harrah’s has it all, and that’s exactly what we liked about this famous casino resort, the sparkling sister resort to the Harrah’s in neighboring Las Vegas and in other big-time national cities. Try on your poker face in the luxe Poker Room, where you can get a chance to win a seat in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. Or, get in on the famous Keno Klassic tournaments held four times a year! All that money-winning will surely work up an appetite –and a full wallet! – that’s why we recommend you try Harrah’s new Joy Luck Noodle Bar. This eatery quickly gained popularity in Reno for its delicious, daily Dim Sum Special. And if you had no joy or luck at blackjack tables, its okay; most of the menu items are less than $10!

Highlights

For some sultry entertainment, check out the Sapphire Sirens Adult Revue live at the onsite Sapphire Lounge!

It may be just a little nugget of a Northern Nevada resort, but it offers unbeatable Reno specials, like the $7.77 prime rib!

That’s right, prime rib for less than $10; we couldn’t believe it either until we visited The Grille and saw that juicy hunk of perfectly-prepared steak set before our wide eyes. And your luck doesn’t stop at this onsite home-cooked eatery. With nearly 500 slot machines to play, you’ll get your cha-chinging chance at pulling a triple seven for a money-winning jackpot! After a long day perusing the Reno strip and gobbling up the famous prime rib, collapse into one of this minute resort’s 27 comfy mini-suites.
