Let's face it, one of the biggest draws to the Reno area is the gaming casinos and resorts. They've been a mainstay of the area for decades, and it is what people are most likely to think of when they consider the Biggest Little City. Reno casinos range from tiny little spots with a few slot machines lined up against the walls to huge resorts with famous names that also have table games, showrooms, hotels, swimming pools, restaurants, spas and more. Many of the Reno casinos have players' clubs for you to join. The more you play, the more you can rack up points that can be used for a variety of perks, not the least being meals at the on-site restaurants, but they can also include special discounts on rooms or entertainment. When you're ready to take a break from gambling, many of the Reno casinos have lounges that feature superb local musical talent and showrooms that present some of the biggest names in the music world today. Some of the casinos also have sports book betting for those who want to put a wager on the big game. And if you time your visit right, you might be able to participate in a poker, blackjack or slots tournament. If you'd like to edge up your knowledge of gambling regulations before you come, check in with the official Nevada Gaming Controls Board information.
