Earlier this month, Eldorado Resorts, Inc. announced its

one-of-a-kind, unified and distinguis­hed resort experience with the addition of THE ROW — a newly branded destinatio­n in the heart of Reno which unites the Eldorado

Resort Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino, and Circus Circus Reno.

“THE ROW showcases what we do best – providing our guests with exceptiona­l gaming, dining, entertainm­ent experience­s and the family-style service for which we’re renowned, all in in one destinatio­n,” said Gregg Carano, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Eldorado Resorts, Inc.

THE ROW stretches over four city blocks and includes 25 restaurant­s, 22 bars and lounges, 11 nightspots, and over 4,000 luxury rooms and suites along with 227,000 square feet of casino space. The rebrand is part of the company’s over $100 million investment in renovated rooms and suites, new restaurant­s, remodeled event spaces and more.

As members of the ONE Club (the casino player’s club), guests of THE ROW can earn points and redeem awards across the three resorts with one single reward program now. They can also enjoy the convenienc­e of restaurant-to-room charges across all resorts.

“While each guest may have a favorite resort to visit, we work hard to deliver a unified experience across all three resorts,” said Carano.

THE ROW kicks off its summer event series with the Great Eldorado BBQ, Brews and Blues

Festival Jun. 15-16 which features Vanilla Ice Friday and The Spin Doctors Saturday (a change in the original schedule). Next up is the 24-Hour Mural Marathon on Jun. 30 and the Biggest Little

City Wing Fest Jul. 6-7. Visit TheRowReno.com for more details. In keeping with outdoor events, the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno is hosting its Third Annual
