I made a taco and the ground beef was seasoned perfectly! Meats: The roasted turkey and sausage were exceptional. The prime rib and steaks were overcooked and dry. Salads: I loved the variety of salad dressings available! Fruits were sparse. There was only watermelon available. Soups: Clam chowder & pho were delicious! Desserts: Tasty and the portions were too large. Recommend making the serving sizes smaller to decrease waste. I stumbled upon the horchata and Melon drink dispensers. What a great find. Very tasty and fresh! Service: Our table server was Mauricio. He made the dining experience so pleasant and we felt like a VIP. He was very attentive and served with pride and a genuine smile! This was our first time at this buffet. We were instructed that we earned a one free person meal but after looking at our bill, we did not receive the discount. We were a party of 12 but we were good with being assigned 3 separate tables. They were gracious to keep us in the same area. Thank you. Ambiance: Warm, inviting. The plates were very accessible. Booths were roomy and very comfortable. Recommend: Moving potatoes near the meats area. It was a difficult find. We will return! Thank you for your service. Rondez

I have lived in Reno for 13 years and I suspect I have eaten at Toucan Charlie's at least 50 times…read more I have long regarded as the 'to go' place for visitors. Well, not any more. I arrived at 1140. There were maybe six customers in front of me. It took 25 minutes to get seated. There had only one person checking in guests. There were 3-5 hosts waiting to get guests to their tables (I have never seen this before). Okay, let's get to the food. Birria dry and not much taste. Spanish rice was wet. Steamed clams were awful; the liquid was oily and smelled fishy. Ma Po tofu was cold and tasteless. Boiled shrimp were tiny. Orange (?) chicken was a little tough and did not have a lot of flavor. Pho was insipid. (Chinese) beef and mushroom was not tasty The only things up to the prior standard were the Smoked trout Sautéed cod Sesame ball Deserts were as expected. Service by Delphina was excellent as always. Even with 'the Monday locals discount,' the bill came to $82 for two, less tip. Given the drop in food quality, it is overpriced. I have eaten lunch at Golden Corral (in Maryland) where the food was more satisfying and cost 40% less. I won't be bringing my Reno guests here any more. So after many years of 5-star ratings, today, they get a 3-star rating.

The Grand Buffet is probably the baseline buffet in Reno. The offerings can be hit or miss, but…read morenothing is really bad or really great. It is nice that the buffet participates in the GSR locals discount program which makes it priced a little more reasonably for what you get, but it is still hard to get full value. The selection is decent, the carving station gives generous portions if requested, the pizza is good for a buffet, the fries are crispy and have flavor, and the sweets, pies, and gelato are actually better than average. The American booth such as pot roast and mashed potatoes with gravy is a little subpar and taste a little cheap. I think the best food there are the Asian dishes and the fried rice, overall. The negatives are that everything isn't the freshest or the best quality, some things are more or less. The food tastes sometimes stale or of lower quality. A bad example is that when I approached the dinner rolls, there were a couple of small gnat flies on a couple pieces of bread, when I shook the basket to shoo them away about a cloud of 25 gnats flew off and then promptly rested back on the bread... So don't eat the bread, lol. I have to admit, there are much better places and buffets in Reno and I would only go here if I am taking a Staycation at the GSR or if a family gathering requested it, but there are worse places and you dictate your own experience.

The overall quality varies but they do usually have snow crab legs at dinner regularly, which is the main reason we would choose this buffet. (Atlantis only does crab on the higher priced weekends). They recently did a special Crab event at $80pp and there was no line at all, probably just too expensive in this economy. They had cold Jonah claws, snow and Dungeness clusters, mini crab cakes, and crab soup. They also advertised King crab but what they had was just the skinny tips which you were given a ticket for one plate. Not worth the price paid, but the cold crab was good quality. I would say thier higher priced special nights just aren't worth it, but the regular weekday with locals discount is decent. Tip: if you prefer warmed crab they will steam it for you or you can have the mongolian grill warm it up with or without asian sauces.

Great place to eat seafood in an upscale atmosphere with incredible 8K Ultra High Resolution Videos…read moreon giant screens showing amazing places around the world. Prices are high as expected in this type of setting. But if you have deep pockets and a seafood craving it should fit the bill. Most if my experience is eating the AYCE sushi here. Yes it's about $12 more per person that if you want to AYCE outside the hotel, but the local's 20% discount evens it up. Selection is more limited than most AYCE menu's. Probably the most limited in Reno based on my experience. They don't have things like scallop, unagi, surf clam nigiri. Mussels only available as nigiri sushi not as an appetizer. Etc. Roll menu is decent, you will find something you like if you are into rolls. They are HUGE, so recommend ordering a half long roll when possible. They also have a selection of hand rolls. We got the Salmon Skin Hand Roll which was pretty mediocre as the salmon skin was overcooked, very dry and crunchy like it was a bit burnt. Fish quality it typically on par with the average AYCE place in Reno but overall a half step down from one of the most popular AYCE places just a few blocks North (Tokyo sushi) which is a madhouse during prime hours with long waits so if you can get seated quickly here the convenience of it being in the hotel may be the better choice especially if you want a nicer, special ocassion atmostphere. Service at the bar was not very good this time around. Waited 20 min for them to come get our card to pay. But generally at the bar, because you can order directly from the chef, the server doesn't have to come very often except to get dessert order or drink order. If they had a wider selection on the AYCE sushi menu and some of the texture of the fish (Salmon) was more firm and less mushy, it could be a 5-star experience.

I have…read morea gluten allergy (not severe celiac) and they were super accommodating with the sushi menu - made substitutions and provided gluten free soy sauce. Not anymore. They have bared anyone who is gluten free from doing all you can eat sushi. I was rudely told this with no explanation from the sushi chef at the sushi bar. The server was kind but explained they would not make any exceptions and I'd have to do ala carte. Even when I talked to a manager she explained my only option was to do ala carte. Even after I explained I didn't need a celiac safe kitchen. This is super disappointing and extremely frustrating. I suppose they are "accommodating" but not really. If you have a gluten allergy of any time don't waste your time. Go to any number of other sushi restaurants in Reno (see my other reviews) - Tokyo Sushi, Sushi Pier, 2ThaJoint and Kitzmo are all beyond accommodating and knowledgeable!

Such a great location downtown. Connects to Silver Legacy and Circus Circus. Always seems busy with…read moreplenty of restaurants, shows, and gambling. We've stayed here a few times, but this time we ended up in the Player's Suite which is amazing. Very spacious with plenty of seating and a jetted tub in the room by windows. It also has a nice bathroom area and walk-in closet. If you're staying for a while you may want to request more hangers because there are only about 5 plus the two on the robes. Not really any dresser space either. In general it's a great room with automatic blackout shades. It's not like we were spending all our time in the room either. So it was plenty big to have friends meet up here before heading out, etc. we'd come back again to stay either in a standard room or the suites (preferably the suites). Staff are always friendly here too from the valet and entire check-in staff to restaurant, maintenance, casino floor, etc. all staff are smiling and ready to assist.

I have never been in a room at the Eldorado but I can certainly talk about the casino, eats, and…read morecondition of the place. Over 50 years ago the Eldorado opened. There was no "Row" and there was a whole lot more coemption back then. Harrah's, Harolds Club, Mapes, Silver Spur and others. There was a grocery store where the Silver Legacy now sits, and the Eldorado was a standalone offering. Given its age and how many casinos have come and gone since they opened, the property is well maintained and seems to keep with the times. The buffet was the last one in downtown with high-quality food (sad loss). What remains of the food choices is solid including the amazing coffee and freshest pastry shop, they are worthy competitors for the area. The Row concept has really kept the Eldorado a viable choice for visitors because they essentially get 3 very different casinos for the price of 1 under one continuous roof, all with free parking. Don't forget the many downtown events that they sponsor or are very involved with. The 44th Great Italian Festival is coming up October 10 & 11th in 2026. It is typically the 2nd weekend in October annually.

Lacked ice and they dont have hot mustard other korea bbq places serve this kind of dish. Thought it would be another go to place for my korean cold noodle place but failed to make it. The dish also has slices of apple vs what is normally sold with shredded meat. Previous reviews still hold that the prices are really high for cheap meats. The ayce setup still gives you a lot on each dish and you risk over ordering and get the dreaded wasted food surcharge. Until they set their prices to a steal I would visit this place cautiously or it will drain your weekly dining budget quickly. Staff still is friendly like always and the place is always good to bring a big group but I wish they would make it "local" friendly on the pocket. If they perhaps gave smaller dishes each time you order beef you could order more variety but it limits you because one plate of beef is good to feed some people a full meal. That then defeats the purpose of ayce. A la carte items is also priced so high you cant get more than one dish for each person to get variety. To sum it up, they've rigged it to have each person spend at least 40 to 50 dollars to have a reasonably enjoyable experience here trying their many good items.

The special had a filet which I asked for medium rare and it came as ordered, the veggie was green beans with a little red bell, I devoured the vegetables first because I always eat the best first. The filet which I never order was very good, I guess since I'm not a frequent orderer of dead cow, the mash was good and so was the shrimp which was accompanied with a very nice sauce. This was a very nice restaurant which I never would have imagined at boomtown. The prices were not too terrible and the food was great but the waiter was terrific.

I came here during the holiday, Mother's Day, which had an influx of guests at the restaurant. The server throughout my dining experience was Tori. She was recently hired as a new server and wasn't too knowledgeable about the menu as of yet. With that being said, I desired to show patience and grace since she was still in the training stage. I proceeded to order the following items for dinner: * Oysters on the Half Shell (6) * Lobster Bisque Bowl * $29 Special - Filet Mignon & Jumbo Shrimp with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes The entire occurrence presented as quite interesting, to say the least. I first received the oysters. It had arrived with an empty serving vessel, which was supposed to be filled with the mignonette sauce. Tori quickly fixed this mistake. The oysters met expectations in terms of freshness and quality. They were very delicious with the mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon juice. Then, I received the Lobster Tomato Bisque. The soup was lacking in flavor and needed help in the seasoning department. I grabbed the peppercorn grinder, which was readily available at the table. Upon twisting the grinder, a lot of peppercorns fell into the soup unfortunately. I kindly requested that Tori replace the soup. A nearby table had the same situation, where an individual had a bunch of pink salt spill over the baked potato dish. Tori was also their server. I noticed that Tori pointed at me and mentioned to the party that I did the same action. When making that observation, I was quite embarrassed. I understood that Tori was trying to make the other table feel better but the finger-pointing provided a slightly unpleasant feeling to me. I finally received the Filet Mignon & Jumbo Shrimp with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes as the entree. However, it took a total of 1.5 hours to arrive at the table. It was quite long and a little frustrating, especially since I've noticed that a couple of parties that seated after me ordered the same meal deal and their food arrived before mine. The steak and shrimp were delectable. The green beans were bland (used butter, pepper + salt) and the mashed potatoes were decent in flavor. All in all, the evening at Boomtown Steakhouse was underwhelming. From the food taking a while to come out, sitting down at a wobbly table, the soup tasting bland, and the overall hospitality from Tori, the experience left some room to be desired. At the end, I truly appreciated the complimentary chocolate mousse dessert. This offering made up slightly for everything that had transpired. I don't recommend visiting this restaurant on a holiday, including Mother's Day. When I decide to return here, it will be on a regular weekday.

We got to choose between staying on the 3rd floor (spa/gym floor) or a higher floor, and we chose for the higher floor which had a decent view. The casino seemed older than others we been to, but it seemed the hotel portion was updated. There were several elevators we could use, and it was nice that it was a clear glass elevator so you could see out. We did not hang out at the casino, but it also seems a bit older. You can definitely smell the smoke in here. We only tried the Purple Parrot for dining and it was solid. There seemed to be a seafood restaurant and it smelled quite fishy in that area. They have an arcade on the second floor for kids. We ended up finding several machines that were broken so we got some free play out of it, which was fun. The arcade seems to be open 24/7 but redeeming rewards may be during limited hours. The spa was great! The gym area was also pretty good as well, many machines to use. They also have yoga mats to use, but my only critique is there is not much space to lay your yoga mat in without feeling like you're in someone's way. However, the gym was not very busy at all in the morning time when I went. In the gym, they had a water refill station, towels, and fruit offered. Remember to bring your hotel card because they will ask that it's scanned at the entrance. Service was friendly at the front desk at check in and check out. We also requested some more makeup wipes from the house staff and they provided extra with no questions asked. Overall, it was a solid experience staying at Atlantis!
