3/17/24 Brandon Lake; Tear off the roof tour
Lee D.

Quality/Quantity - Came here for a Brandon Lake concert and it was GREAT. Probably the 2nd best concert I have been to! It was 3.5 hours long! He stayed an extra half hour and sang another 3 songs. To avoid the rush of everyone leaving at the same time, we hung out at the casinos, Silver Legacy, El Dorado and Circus Circus. The best part was that we bumped into our friends! What a small world. We will be going to their place on Tuesday (yestereday). Atmosphere - "Medium size" event center in Downtown Reno. Across the street from the above casinos. Free parking in the above casinos. 118,000 sq ft. Multi purpose arena, also available for conventions, conferences, boxing, basketball, etc. Service - Tickets can usually be purchased at the Silver Legacy box office and/or through Ticketmaster (fees will probably apply). The venue is easy in and out. But you might want to get here early for better parking. Everyone was friendly. From the security guards, to the ushers, concession stands, merch sales, etc. Price - Depends on the event and where you plan to sit. But our concert was very reasonable, some would consider inexpensive. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2005. 2008 to 2018 - It was the home to the Reno Bighorns of the NBA G League and to the Reno Barons of the Western Indoor Football Association during their short lived 2011 season. 2016 to 2019 - Big Sky men's and women's basketball tournaments. 2019 - Reno Express of the new American West Football Conference.

I've been here twice in the last 6 months and knowing how much I like comedy and live music, I am sure I will continue to come here. At least I know what to expect. Plan to arrive early so that you can park and wait in line. I went to a nearby casino for some pregaming action( Starbucks so that I could stay awake). Make sure to read the guidelines and rules that are specific to the show that you are going to see. For Bill Burr it was a cellphone free event so that made the line to get in a lot slower. My biggest hang up for this location is the seating. The seats in the risers all face towards the middle of the arena so every person has to turn sideways to see the stage. After about 30 minutes my next and back start to hurt. I know this only pertains to the events that are focused on the stage, but that has been my experience so far.

I love comedy. It is said that "laughter is the best medicine." I totally agree. We came here recently to see my favorite comedian Fluffy. My last check-in was for him too. He is amazing and never does the same show twice. There was some sort of commotion in front when he was performing and he got involved and made sure everything was ok. How great is that? There was a very long line for his show. Security was amazing getting everyone to line up and then getting them through. I was really surprised at how quickly they got people through the line. Did you know this venue has 9 meeting rooms and suites upstairs from which to view an event? Plus these rooms have catering available with seating available to see the stage.

Chickeeee Nuggeeees! Crispy! Hot! Tender! Delicious. And the fries... Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The next time you see a concert or comedian or motocross or bull riding or ice skating or Baby Shark.... Get yourself an order. Aaaand you get Ken's Steakhouse Ranch!

I've been here for a variety of events from concerts to comedy to charity events to now who would have guessed it Professional Bull Riders. This place can truly handle any event to come its way. Important things to note.. - concert sound may not be ideal here. the acoustics in the building are just not set up for that. It will still likely be a great show, but sound might be lacking. - park at the row and just walk over. I park at Circus Circus and walk through the casino and exit silver legacy. that works out perfectly. - plenty of bathrooms - plenty of places to get a drink and or a bite to eat - line up to get in may be long, but it goes quickly. --pro tip, once you get to the front ish, move along the right side of the rail to get through security quick, for some reason no one sees that line in the corner. Especially quick if you only bring a wallet, keys and phone. Leave the bags at home.

Andy Hui and Dicky Chan from section 8 floor

Was fun to see Dicky Chan and Andy Hui! The seats were fold out on the floor. Which felt like no back support. But overall had a good time

Saturday night fun !

11/9/2022 Reading the local news, and saw the line for Jerry Seinfeld... Sometimes in life you have to meet halfway, and do some compromising.. I'm not a fan of the tv show, but the DH is... Unfamiliar to the seating chart, I tried to pick one close and not $$$$ .. but I think I picked decent seats.. You only live once.. enjoy life and venture out of my comfort zone... They say laughing is contagious.. so hopefully I'll learn the sense of humor and laugh my butt off.. DH is super happy, he works hard during the week, so I can't wait either. Easy booking thru Ticketmaster.. I think the last comedian show was Howie Mandel... lol!!!

Saw Jerry Seinfeld November 12th, 2022. Great show, typical 5 Star Jerry Seinfeld. My low rating is for the Reno Events Center. Most seats are not facing the stage...and the stage is seriously 100 yards away on the other side. From our suite seating I believe the stage is over 100 yards away. Two small TV projectors on each side of the stage are cheap and under sized. Unfortunately I can't recommend dropping a lot of money for shows at this Events center. This joint is not set up for the modern personal experience that you can find at locations like Las Vegas or some of the nearby California venues. You would think in modern times the Reno Events center would move the stage into the middle of this center for a more centered and personal experience for the guests but they don't. Lots of wasted space for the shows at this venue and truth be told the person in charge of this venue must have failed at playing legos as a child. With the multiple Casino ownership of this venue it's all about the cash flow one way and it's not into this Events Center. Beware if you plan on dropping hundreds of dollars for a ticket...not worth it at this outdated venue in my opinion.

The Events Center is a multipurpose arena. They have a lot of seating and a huge general admission area to host popular artists. The acoustics are OK. It's basically a big steel and concrete box. In order to get the best sound, get floor tickets and get close to the stage. The concessions usually include beer, some mixed drinks, and arena food like nachos and soft pretzels. It's a big venue so expect lines for beverages and bathrooms.

Bull riding chutes

PBR Velocity Tour at The Reno Events Center is a MUST annual event. Put it in your calendars for 2025 now! Prices range from ~$20-$200 depending on how close to the action you want to be. Music, action, drinks - don't ever miss it!

Floor seats at the Reno Events Center for Sesame Street Live.
Megan L.

We've seen Paw Patrol & Sesame Street Live at the Reno Events Center. Since these shows are for toddlers and young kids, there needs to be safe chairs for that age group. Tonight I saw at least five different kids fall through the backs of these chairs. The back of the seat folds in because they are so small & light. These are the better & more expensive seats, yet kids are getting hurt because the chairs are not appropriate for the age and size of child who likes these shows.

Ask the Community - Reno Events Center

Do they allow kids?

Yes but not sure if it depends on specific events. I have gone to multiple concerts at this venue and have seen kids.

Hello, does anyone know if you can tailgate outside the Event Center like you can at the Convention Center? We are coming for big volleyball tournament and trying to schedule our team events. thanks!

There isn't a parking lot dedicated for the Reno events center, so I don't think you could.

Is it child friendly environment? And are there any handicapped sitting area? I would be bringing a special need child for the question I ask and the concert is Brandon lake it's Christian music that we would be attending?

Yes, there is seating for wheelchairs and handicapped accessible seating. I hope you all enjoy the concert.

Where is good Parking for reno events center?

I avoid the casino garages as they are pain to get out of and I refuse to pay to park in the bowling center garage. I either park a few blocks north of the event center or use Uber.

We are going to an upcoming concert and have GA Oit pass, are there seats or is it standing?

The space is an older home just west of downtown. An easy walk. It has a great space for a large dining table for 20 of us and two serving tables. At the back was the kitchen where Reno Recipes prepared the meal. Outback is an amazing fully pavered yard with comfy seating and overhead lighting. Pictures inside show the area set up for outdoor dining. Now that would be a fabulous space for eating al fresca. The space seems great for small to medium sized events.

They arrived prepared to be surrounded by heartache and loss, but once there, it helped shift the mood from grief to gratitude.

She was so kind, attentive, and accommodating--making sure we had everything we needed and being available throughout the process. Her support made a big difference.

River School Farm was the perfect venue for an intimate wedding with our closest family and friends…read morethis fall. Close to the Truckee River, tucked in a little pocket of Reno by Mayberry Park, we couldn't have asked for a spot that felt as private and serene. We wanted our day to feel like a slightly fancy-outdoorsy family reunion and knew this spot would be perfect when we visited it in the spring. By the fall, the greenery around the venue had filled in, making the area (and all our photos) extra beautiful. The available space can be set up in many different layouts. The ceremony area easily fit our guest list of 40, with room to spare. Then, it doubled as an area for games and later a bit of casual dancing by just moving a few chairs. We loved having a few different but connected areas for guests to spend time together. The owners were so helpful explaining everything about the venue. Many thanks to both for sharing such a wonderful space that is clearly cared for and kept with much love.

We were in the area and saw the big black widow spider and thought what a large Halloween store. But we were pleasantly mistaken - What used to be a bowling alley has now been repurposed into an absolute wonderland of an experience. It's a full blown kid friendly adult friendly haunted warehouse. My 4 year old son had an absolute blast, it starts of with a bit of trick or treating as your making your way through the adventure, then turns into a full on experience as each and every room has a theme from Jurassic park, aliens, robots, clowns, skeletons, a mirror room that I conveniently banged my head into, all the way to the super psychedelic tunnel. Which leads you to the Macabre mansion - for adults and children too. THEY ARE EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATING- asking how scary you'd like the experience to be. Seeing as my Little guy is 4 we asked for no jump scares. And made it through enjoying every bit of the way. My little guy hugged the zombie, high fives leather face and complimented his chainsaw, noting it looked like it could use some oil, but the blood would do. We had an absolute blast. They are doing a Christmas themed experience as well. The owner has a dream, retired and sunk all of her savings into an experience we can all appreciate. I hope to see them sound for many many more years to come. Do yourself a favor and check them out! You won't be disappointed.

It was a short wait of about 15 minutes before they were able to give us our room info. We booked a larger room with a king bed so our son could have a bit more room to roam. Room was clean, bed was comfy. AC was easy to control. It did have a microwave and mini fridge. Emphasis on the mini for the fridge. Pool was semi heated. The outside temp was in the 60s so the water felt about room temp. Whirlpool was nice and warm. The fitness center has the basic weights and cardio machines.
