About Grand Sierra Resort
Grand Sierra Resort sits three miles east of downtown Reno as a full-service destination casino and hotel. The property was founded in 1978 and is owned by Meruelo Enterprises, based in Downey, California. The resort was designed by architect Martin Stern, Jr.
The gaming floor spans 80,000 square feet and operates around the clock. The property does not list specific table limits, game counts, or minimum bets in publicly available materials, so prospective players should contact the casino directly or visit the website for current gaming details.
The hotel portion comprises 1,990 guest rooms and suites across 27 floors, making it a substantial property for the Reno market. The resort operates 12 restaurants, with Charlie Palmer Steak—helmed by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer—as a named dining anchor. Beyond gaming and lodging, the property includes a movie theater, a Race & Sports Book, nightclubs including LEX Nightclub, a 25,000 square foot venue with a swimming pool, a lake golf driving range, an RV park, and an ice rink. These amenities position Grand Sierra as a multi-day destination rather than a gaming-only stop.
The resort operates 24/7, so there are no posted closing hours. Parking details, resort fees, dress codes, and age verification procedures are not listed in the fact sheet; visitors should confirm these logistics directly with the property before arrival. Similarly, table limits, slot machine denominations, and specific game offerings are not publicly documented here and should be verified with the casino.
No licensing, regulatory status, or trust certifications are listed in the available materials. Players seeking information on gaming licenses, responsible gambling programs, or complaint resolution should consult the Nevada Gaming Commission or contact Grand Sierra directly.
Grand Sierra functions as a full-service resort casino with significant non-gaming amenities. It suits players who want a multi-day stay with dining, entertainment, and recreation beyond the gaming floor. Those seeking a small, focused gaming experience or players prioritizing table game selection should verify offerings before committing to a visit.
