Eldorado Hotel Casino Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Eldorado"

Quote:
The Eldorado Hotel and Casino is attached by walkways to the Circus Circus and Silver Legacy Casinos in downtown Reno, a short drive from the airport and a good kickoff to travelling to Lake Tahoe. This hotel/casino is connected to the Silver Legacy and Circus Circus by walkways, so you never have to leave the indoors. Since I am used to the beautiful Connecticut casinos, these casinos pale in comparison, though the Eldorado does have a fabulous breakfast buffet.
