Great casino!!!! Great for sports betting and food! Great food for cheap nice employees and excellent service. I try to go often since it’s one of the last locally owned casinos in town.
Out of the way place but worth driving to. Very quiet atmosphere and spacious dining area. GREAT food, friendly and efficient wait staff and fabulous prices. Wish I lived in Reno.
Price and Value Jewel for Reno. Quiet solitude with great food and service. Ambiance is good. Value comes from pricing, both food and wine are excellent values. Service cannot be any better, as Alexa our server, was so helpful and knowledgeable.
