RENO, NV (June 8, 2017) – As $50 million in renovations continue at the Eldorado Resorts Downtown Reno properties, Silver Legacy Resort Casino is excited to announce the opening of its brand new, poker room, which will service guests and ONE Club members at Silver Legacy, Eldorado Resort Casino and Circus Circus Reno.  The poker room is equipped with 13 tables, is open 24 hours and is located on the main casino floor next to the all-new Canter’s Deli.

“Combined with Canter’s Deli, our new, state-of-the-art poker room is a $1.8 million project that provides our poker players with a playing experience unparalleled in northern Nevada,” Gene Carano, Senior Vice President of Regional Operations, said. “As our company continues to grow, it is vital that we continue to improve on our gaming operations, which we do with much pride and always with our guests in mind.”
