Reno's resort scene centers on casino-entertainment complexes, many with full-service spas, multiple pools, and free airport shuttles. Properties cluster in two areas: downtown, where Circus Circus, Eldorado, and Silver Legacy are linked indoors (the 'THE ROW' complex), and south Reno, anchored by Peppermill and Atlantis near the convention center. Nightly rates range from moderate (Circus Circus, Eldorado) to upscale (Peppermill, Grand Sierra). Most offer free parking, on-site restaurants (6-9 per resort), and 24-hour room service.
Top-rated options include Peppermill Resort Spa Casino (86/100, 'Fabulous'), with its outdoor pool, sauna, and spa; Atlantis Casino Resort Spa (83/100, 'Very Good'), two kilometers from the airport and near ski areas; and Grand Sierra Resort And Casino (84/100, 'Very Good'), a family-friendly property with golf and romantic packages. Silver Legacy Reno (80/100) and Eldorado Reno (74/100) provide direct access to downtown shows and dining, while Circus Circus Reno (74/100) offers free circus acts and a carnival midway. For easiest access to nightlife and live entertainment, choose downtown; for a quieter stay with quick airport access, south Reno works best.
