If you choose to gamble a different way than the casinos, then grabbing a few "scratchers" or super lotto ticket might be a fun thing to do. You can grab those just about 15 min west from town. Exit after Verdi and set back far enough West to be in California, is the California Lottery building, There are 3 or 4 "scratcher" ticket vending machines that you can grab a ticket self serve. You can also go to the counter and get a ticket for any number of games such as Powerball and Super Lotto, usually played on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, The lady at the counter was friendly and the process is quick. I wont say I have a great track record on winning, but it's still fun to play every so often!

Lotto fever.

In this type of business the workers must remain flexible and adapt to the environment. Kind of like a chameleon. So how do you go from the friendly clerk that likes to chat up the regulars like it is a beauty salon or barbershop to wham bam thank you ma'am or sir, who is next? Some how the staff here is always up for the challenge. Warm and friendly yet efficient in busier times and genuine and chatty when it is slower. I have been in here on stormy days where the clerks have said we were the only ones in so far today to times like the events surrounding the $900 million draw coming up this week with lines far out into the parking lot. (BTW if I win I wont be Yelping for a few weeks) It is unique and fun with the building straddling the California / Nevada state lines. There is a line in the middle of the store that let's you know when you have crossed over. Easy parking, great handicapped access, and feels lucky. Well, not always when you are checking your tickets for past winnings. (Did I mention, I hope to win?) Best of luck when ever you play, if you are fortunate the Lottery will pay, and stop by here to brighten you day.

09/05/17 I think this is the best place to buy California lottery tickets. It looks like it's in Nevada but it's not. You have to drive back behind the casino to where the ticket office straddles the California state line. It is tucked away back in. It is a small building and all they do is sell lottery tickets. It is just a short drive from Reno. Plus if you are hungry you can eat for cheap at Gold Ranch which is just a ways in front of the Lottery building. There are two fast food restaurants attached to the Casino and a gas station. There is a huge parking lot. The staff is knowledgeable, quick and friendly. What more could you ask for. It is CASH ONLY but they do have an ATM inside and restrooms.

Fun fun!!!

Customer service is always great no matter how busy they get!!! The lines can be out the wazoo sometimes but they are very organized on how the line moves which is always appreciated. The store is always clean and the staff are courteous. I love getting scratchers here... ticky tickies, get your tickits!!!

Long line if you want your own numbers

The go to place to buy lotto and lottery tickets for the Reno/Sparks area. The staff is friendly and helpful if you have a question. It is CASH ONLY for the tickets. They do have an ATM machine inside if you forget this when you arrive. In addition they do sell candies, chips, ice cream and soda if you happen to get the munchies while buying some tickets. For major jackpots expect there to be a long line. This should only be used by those who wish to select their own numbers. Do not use this line if you only want quick picks! Tip: If you only want some quick pick tickets...there are two better options than waiting in the long line: 1. take the shorter line to the self help kiosk (this is currently on the right hand side by the bathrooms) and buy any qty you want. or.... 2. Buy a preprinted quick pick ticket from the worker selling them just inside the store (usually standing next to the quick pick kiosk). They are $10 each (**note this gives you $10 worth of tickets. Example for Powerball this means 5 tickets since they are $2 each) Good luck!!

Closest place to go play lottery from las.Vegas. Only about 35 minutes away. Gets a little busy when the lottery gets at a high amount.

After nearly 10 months of planning, I expected the basics to be handled correctly. When we checked in, we were given a double room instead of the King room we reserved. I went back to the front desk and was told that because they were oversold for Thursday night, there was no way to move us into a King room at all during our stay. That explanation didn't make much sense--they confirmed they had King rooms available Tuesday and Wednesday, but because of the Thursday overbooking, they couldn't honor the reservation for any of the nights. So even though I booked months in advance and had already arrived, I was effectively bumped in favor of guests who hadn't even checked in yet. To make matters worse, only 2 out of 5 elevators were working the entire stay, which led to long waits (up to 20 minutes to get down in the morning) and added frustration. After the fact, I looked through other reviews and saw that this seems to be an ongoing issue, not a one-off situation. Between the reservation not being honored and the operational problems, it was a pretty disappointing experience overall. Skip this place.

I received access to a complimentary room on the 6th floor in the South Tower, which was a far walk from the elevators and located at the end of the hallway near the fire evacuation stairwell. PROS: * The check-in envelope that included the room key also had a free drink coupon from the bar, a free round of mini golf, a free carousel ride, etc. * Rewards Kiosk - printed out redeemable rewards such as a free car wash, discount on gas, $10 free credit play at Fun Center, and much more. * Fun Center was extremely fun; arcade games, rides, mini golf, prizes, and snacks * Lots of options for food & beverages onsite: Peet's Coffee, Baja Deli, The Original Mel's Diner, Boomtown Steakhouse, and Verdi Grillhouse * Boomtown Steakhouse Early Bird Nightly Special - Filet & Jumbo Shrimp Dinner for ONLY $29 * Many bar areas were stationed throughout the first floor * Variety of casino slots and table games available for gambling entertainment * Live musical entertainment at night * Self-parking was easy and accessible; not crowded during this visit; FREE * The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable * Air conditioning was incredible and kept the entire room cool especially during the hot peaks of the days * Pets were welcome to stay CONS: * Two elevators were available at the South Tower, however, one elevator was down/not operating at all until the day that I checked out. This resulted in a long wait for the elevator car. * Housekeeping staff immediately burst into my room at 10:35 AM when check-out was at 11 AM. * No complimentary/continental breakfast included Overall, the stay at this hotel met expectations. I recommend staying here, as it is a splendid hotel located on the outskirts of the immediate Reno, NV area (10-15 minutes away).

This place is so cool and not cool at the same time…read more.. Here's the bad stuff... 1. Super construction going on and the parking lots are a mess, you don't know to go right or left and I got lost finding entrances even after 3 days.really dirty too. 2. The dirt doesn't stop there. Our first room we were given was so smokey I mean burning eyes smokey. There was a box fan sitting outside the room so I think they tried to air it out but it was like someone burned a cigar in there and just closed the door. 3. After going thru a room swap we were given another room. Fine but there was a dirty rag left in the bathroom counter with hairs all over it. Not a huge deal but still, come on right? 4. The late check out. Went to the front desk night before to make sure late check out was ok since we were at an event that morning. No problem they said you got until 4 with an additional fee. Great right? Nope since our room was a room that was attached to a suite they needed us out before that. Just come on again! 5. The service is just rude everywhere. I mean everyone you encounter! The Rim restaurant guy host in a suit..., I'm convinced was high as a kite. Don't believe me, go there and talk to him, holy! The security desk, rude and unhelpful. Anyone you call on the phone from the room, rude. I'm not expecting Disney customer service, but come on man! Someone teach these guys some customer service skills. So the good.... The resort is really cool. Bowling video games, nice casino, everything to spend a fun weekend. We may even come back just to do the pool and stuff to do there. To wrap it up... Lower your expectations. Your not going to get the cleanest room. Most certainly you will be treated rudely. It's a place that could be so epic but falls short due to just taking short cuts in the customer service, organization and just plain care about your whole experience factor. P.S. you will receive at least 5 text messages telling you about how great their spa is.

The place is family freindly in dining,options, and having a large arcade on site. The dining options include a very nice Steakhouse, Mel's Diner, a nice Deli, and another grill house located on the property over by the gas station. The players club usually gives dining credit that can be used at any of the dining options,free play on slot machines, and/or a table match play bet, amount dependant on your level of play. We stopped to play a little, and cash a super bowl bet I won on (Go Seahawks !), We then used our food credits to get a 14" pizza, a Caesar salad, a fruit salad and a fountain drink and only had to come out of pocket for $4 + tip. Casinos tend to be a personal choice, I enjoy the entertainment of gambling without being forced to a large minimum bet required.

In the morning, we waited over 30 minutes while valet staff searched for another guest's lost key. Later that same evening, we ended up experiencing the exact same thing ourselves. The valet staff lost our key and it took over 20 minutes for them to locate it. They did not think to hire more staff for the busy Memorial Day weekend and the basketball/volleyball/adult softball tournaments that were going on in the area. The night before we had to leave our car halfway in the street because valet was so backed up. The guest service manager told us to leave it half away in the street. The next day the same manager blamed the desk agent for losing our key when they did the same thing in the morning when she wasn't there. Unfortunately, this caused us to be late to a magic show we were attending at Grand Sierra Resort. I understand mistakes can happen, but seeing the same issue happen multiple times in one day shows a serious lack of organization and professionalism. Valet should make the experience smoother, not create unnecessary stress and delays.
