Why The Reno Hilton Is One Of The Top Hotels In Reno!

Open daily twenty four hours, the Reno Hilton is a sight for anyone that’s heading into Reno.  With over one hundred thousand square feet of casino, it’s a gambler’s paradise and a ‘Reno dream’ come true.

Whether visitors are interested in going to Reno for business or for pleasure, everyone is welcome to stay at the Reno Hilton – or at least, the new version of the Hilton.

Midway through 2006, the Reno Hilton was purchased by Grand Sierra Resort Corporation.  Consequently, the Reno Hilton was renamed the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, though still housed in the same building. 

There are a number of factors that will play into the decision to stay at this hotel, and should be considered prior to making a reservation over the phone or through online services.

What’s so great about the Reno Hilton?

There are a number of activities that are included in a Reno Hilton stay.  For one, there are 950 various gaming machines, including penny slots and five dollar slots for the deeper pockets. 

Guests can also head over to more than forty tables of various games: three card poker, craps, blackjack, Let it Ride, Baccarat, Poker, Roulette, Pai Gow, and more.  There is Keno as well as a Racing book and Sports booking area. 

Visitors will also enjoy the numerous restaurants that are within the resort: The Lodge Buffet, Pylon Bar, Java Coast, Dolce, Chevy’s, Cable Car Creamery, Asiana, Johnny Rockets, Port of Subs, Steak House, Round Table Pizza, and Escalator Bar.

Activities Galore at the Reno Hilton!

For the family that is traveling there are many family oriented activities:  an amusement park, bowling center, and game room.  When travelers like to spend some time outside of the casino, they can also enjoy a driving range, health club, tennis court, and various shopping attractions.  If guests would like to drive their RV to the resort, there is RV parking available as well.

The customer service grades are consistently high and the rooms are clean, decorated with various motifs, as in the Vegas tradition.  Staff is available at any time of the day or night for any problems, and will attend to any need that is not fulfilled.

When guests bring family members with them, the Reno Hilton can be an excellent way to keep everyone happy and active during their Reno vacation – there’s something for anyone’s tastes.

Are there any disadvantages in staying at the Reno Hilton?

In terms of the downsides of the Reno Hilton, the only real issue is that the location is away from the main strip of Reno.  But, many people actually consider this an advantage as it gets you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

Visitors will want to double check on various rates for using amenities as many of these features do come with surcharges, albeit very reasonable ones.  For example, using the health club can incur an additional fee, so guests will want to check on this policy prior to using the facility.
