Silver Legacy Reno- A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"The whole place is very clean including the rooms. The spa suite was fantastic. The girl that checked us in was very friendly and apologetic that our room wasn't ready at check in. It was inconvenient to wait a half hour after check in but they did give us $60 in room credits. We will definitely stay here again. "
