Silver Legacy is Reno's flagship casino resort and is connected via skybridge to the Eldorado and Circus Circus Reno, forming a massive downtown complex. The signature attraction is a 120-foot diameter dome covering a faux mine works complete with a giant mining rig centerpiece. It occupies a prime downtown Reno location within walking distance of the Riverwalk District.
Silver Legacy Resort Casino at 407 N Virginia St is the flagship property of downtown Reno's casino district, identifiable from across the city by its distinctive Victorian white-domed structure housing a 120-foot-diameter glass dome — the largest single-span dome on any casino in the world — beneath which sits a giant mechanical steam-powered mining rig that performs a show periodically throughout the day. Opened in 1995 through a partnership between Hilton Hotels and Circus Circus Enterprises, Silver Legacy is now connected via enclosed skybridges to both the adjacent Eldorado Reno and Circus Circus Reno, creating a combined complex of approximately 4,000 rooms allowing guests to move freely between three properties without stepping outside — a significant advantage during Reno's cold winters and hot, sun-intense summers. The hotel tower offers 1,711 rooms and suites, from standard guest rooms to the Penthouse Suite, with mountain and downtown city views available on upper floors. The casino floor at 88,000 square feet is the largest in Reno, featuring over 2,100 slot machines, 80 table games, a dedicated poker room, and a race and sports book. Multiple dining options range from casual (El Dorado Grill, coffee shops) to the more formal Sweetwater Grille. The fourth-floor pool features indoor and outdoor access. Silver Legacy's prime Virginia Street location places it at the center of downtown Reno's activity: the Riverwalk District along the Truckee River is a 5-minute walk west, the National Automobile Museum is 10 minutes on foot, and the Nevada Museum of Art is within easy walking distance.
