I took a chance and booked a few night at the JA Nugget. Fist impression was of beautiful lobby area. Check in was fast and room was good size It was not one of the renovated room but still was quite nice. All was well and clean. I think the hotel draws a decent clientele as they were well behaved...

If you're going to be in the hotel business it would be nice if they upgraded the rooms every 10 years. Old tv's, old pink wallpaper, towels rough enough to buff scratches out of your car. There are a few good things though. 1st off the Celebrity Showroom is a great place to see a show, the Oyster Bar is... More

Had a bit of problems checking in and out staff was not all that nice. But the pool was awesome. Made it all worth the stay. Didn't like going in the smoke if casino to check in and out. Restraunts were good.

We stayed two nights this great hotel in April, and found it to be everything we wanted it to be! The hotel has the friendiest staff, great food and nicely appointed, very clean rooms. Most of all, we thought it was a great value! The "Early Bird Special" at the Steakhouse Grill should not be missed! Walk across the street... More

For the second year in a row, group sales screwed up the reservation for our group, and there was NO way to communicate with them over the weekend since group sales apparently doesn't WORK on the weekends! Last year, they simply LOST our reservation for 8 rooms, and this year year, the front desk cancelled one of our nights accidentally... More

I stayed here for a convention and I found this place to be very nice. The check-in was quick and easy. The room was very clean and updated. The casino was clean and had good ventilation. I thought the sports book was plenty spacious and had enough TV's to satisfy. Overall a great experience! Another good point is the casino... More

We had a large room with two queen beds. It faced the rail and scrap yards, but was surprisingly quiet. Bathroom was very clean. No smoke odor on our floor or in the elevators. Even the lobbies were remarkably clear of smoke. We were in Sparks to visit family; we never visited the casino, restaurants or pool. Front desk employees... More

Loved our 4 night stay in this Casino Resort. East Tower is the remodeled tower and includes wireless internet, whereas the West Tower does not. Wonderful experience noted by families as it has a very large arcade area for kids and the largest indoor pool I've ever seen. Casino is relatively uncrowded, has great food options and is 3 miles...

We stayed here for part of our Spring vacation to Tahoe/Reno. We had gambled here in the past, but decided to stay here on this trip. I booked through HotWire, and had asked for a non-smoking room on a higher floor. Got the feeling that people who booked through HotWire were sort of second-class, you- get-what-we-give-you guests.When we checked in,... More
