Reno - stay away from Silver Legacy

If you enjoy drinks with your bets don't go to Silver Legacy.

I am not a big time player but I bet $120 at the window on various plays.  No one gave me any drink tickets.

When I come down to watch Sunday morning I was told I had to see the manager to get drink tickets.  The sleazy looking manager Pinto looked at my wagers and gave me 2 tickets.  Turns out those 2 tickets were good for ONE whiskey and coke.

$120 in bets, 1 drink comped.

Circus Circus is right next door and although it doesn't have the ambience of SL they comp you a free drink - a real drink - for every $20 you bet - and they give you the drink tickets as you place your bet.

This place looks nice in the lobby but the rooms aren't any better than Circus and the sportsbook is the cheapest I've ever been in.

Zoltar dude - please say a free drink is not that important - 

want a free drink ey?

if you're going to bet in Reno, dont do it "downtown",go to the peppermill or atlantis - theyre the only half decent books in that fleapit of a  town

they cancelled the poker tourny at GSR  3 days in... a pitiful shame.

It has been a while for me at SL, but I would just sit in the sports book watch games, make bets and the cocktail waitress would just come by and ask if you want a drink?  Just like when playing slots or BJ.

Zoltar. The Silver Legacy is a William Hill book. You can walk down the street to the CalNeva which is also a William Hill book and get drink tokes. The reason the Legacy won't give them out is they do not own the book. The CalNeva is owned by William Hill so they get the tax right off. The CalNeva is easy for drink tokes and they have $1 beers and Twisted Teas. I was in there a few weeks ago and made a $50 parlay bet and got a couple of tokes.
