It isn't possible to visit Reno and not try your luck at the slots, poker or your favorite table game in the amazing casino at Circus Circus Hotel Casino. While you're there, enjoy an unforgettable meal in any of their six restaurants that include a sushi bar, a generous buffet or a mouth-watering menu in the hotel steak house. And if entertainment and attractions are your game, be sure to catch the latest big-name concert, cabaret show, or circus shows that are on the always-busy Circus Circus Hotel Casino schedule.
The Cactus Creek Southwestern Steakhouse is worth the effort it takes to find it, although you might have passed it or may be close to it without even realizing it! The restaurant is in the Bonanza Casino just north of downtown, and both the casino and eatery are local favorites that tourists may not find right away. The steaks are plentiful slabs of beef, and the side dishes are just as delectable. Add in great service, no-hassle parking and a usually short wait for a table and you've found a real jewel of a restaurant.
