Top Old Southwest Hotel Reviews

Silver Legacy Reno- A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"Obviously, the machines are spread out and gives us less choices. Saw a bunch of them piled underneath the stairway in a corner seemed a little too wide open. Actually, the staff was good, but not enough variety of machines."
